Spring Skincare Reset: Top Tips for a Glowing, Healthy Complexion

Spring is finally here! As the seasons shift, so do the needs of your skin. After months of battling cold temperatures, indoor heating, and dry air, it’s a great time to refresh your skincare routine to match the warmer, sunnier days ahead.

Here’s how to transition your skincare for a radiant, hydrated, and healthy complexion this spring—plus some of my personal Tropic Skincare favourite recommendations to help you along the way!

1. Exfoliate Away Winter Dullness

During winter, skin can become dull and congested due to slower cell turnover. Spring is the perfect time to slough off dry, dead skin and reveal a fresher complexion.

• Consider an in-clinic chemical peel to kick start your glowing skin and deeply exfoliate and stimulate skin renewal for a brighter, more even complexion.

  
  

• Switch to a gentle exfoliant: Chemical exfoliants with AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids) and PHA's (poly hydroxy acids) help remove dead skin cells without harsh scrubbing

  
  

• At home skincare Must-Haves: 

  Tropic Juicy Greens exfoliating toning essence- a daily staple infused with AHA's, PHA's and niacinamide to gently exfoliate , reduce pigmentation, boost radiance and improve the efficacy of products you apply afterwards

  Tropic Fruit Smooth Resurfacing Serum—a gentle resurfacing serum to use once or twice a week. Made up of a natural, refreshing trio of alpha, beta and hydroxy acids to gently lift away dead skin cells, leaving your skin smooth and radiant and visibly brighter with every use

2. Hydrate Without the Heaviness

Thick, rich winter creams can feel too heavy as temperatures rise. Now’s the time to switch to a lighter, hydrating formula.

• Look for hyaluronic acid-based products to keep skin plump without feeling greasy

  
  

• At Home skincare Must-Haves:

  Tropic Skin Re-leaf Nourishing Moisturiser -a calming, hydrating moisturiser that soothes irritation and restores balance, leaving the skin feeling soft and nourished without being heavy

  Tropic Rainforest Dew Hydration Serum—a lightweight yet intensely hydrating serum packed with hyaluronic acid and plant peptides to keep skin dewy all day

  
  

3. SPF: Your Non-Negotiable Step

With longer, sunnier days, UV exposure increases—even on cloudy days (and through windows) UVA rays can penetrate deep into the skin, leading to premature ageing. SPF is the key to preventing this premature ageing, pigmentation, and sun damage.

• SPF 30+ every morning, even if you’re indoors.

  
  

• At Home Skincare Must-Haves: 

  Tropic Sun Day SPF 50- broad-spectrum protection, blended with hydrating hyaluronic acid , it has a fast absorbing satin texture and is perfect for daily wear on its own or sits beautifully as a primer under makeup.

  Skin Shade SPF 50 - for a tinted option this mineral facial sunscreen delivers high UV protection keeping your complexion even toned with a soft, dewy finish

  
  

4. Brighten & Refresh with Vitamin C

If winter left your skin looking dull or uneven, Vitamin C is your best friend for restoring brightness and evening out skin tone.

• Use a vitamin C serum in the morning to enhance glow and fight free radical damage

  
  

• At Home Skincare Must-Have:

  Tropic Glow Berry Brightening Serum—a powerful vitamin C and antioxidant blend to boost radiance and protect against environmental damage

  
  

5. Swap Heavy Makeup for a Fresh-Faced Look

Spring is the time for a natural, fresh look so embrace lighter coverage and let your skin breathe!

• Opt for lightweight, hydrating formulas with skincare benefits

• 
  

• At Home Must-Haves: 

  Tropic Liquid Radiance Serum Foundation—with adaptogens, ceramides and hyaluronic acid, a skin-loving, breathable formula with added skincare benefits to even out skin tone while keeping your complexion radiant and natural. It provides a luminous "your skin but better" finish

  Tropic Sun Glaze Illuminating bronzing drops-with hydrating hyaluronic acid , strengthening prebiotics and mica for multidimensional luminosity this lightweight formula can be mixed with your moisturiser for a healthy, no make-up warmth, blended with foundation for an all over lustre, or use neat as a liquid bronzer or defining highlighter.

  
  

6. Hydrate from Within

Warmer weather means your skin loses moisture faster, so hydration is key for a plump, healthy glow.

• Drink plenty of water and eat water-rich foods like cucumbers, watermelon, and leafy greens

  
  

• Consider an in-clinic skin booster treatment to deeply hydrate and improve elasticity
