How to Transition Your Skincare Routine from Winter to Spring
As winter fades away and the days get longer, it’s time to rethink your skincare routine. The transition from cold, dry air to milder, more humid weather can be challenging for your skin. What worked for winter—rich creams, heavy oils, and protective layers—might feel too heavy in spring. Instead, lighter textures, hydration-boosting products, and seasonal skincare swaps can help your skin adjust smoothly.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through the best ways to transition your skincare routine from winter to spring, ensuring your skin stays balanced, radiant, and healthy. We’ll also highlight some essential products, including Dr Jart Cicapair Serum and Sensoo Skincare, to help you achieve a glowing complexion.
Switch to a Lightweight Cleanser
During winter, many of us rely on cream-based or oil cleansers to prevent our skin from drying out. But as spring arrives, lighter gel or foam cleansers can effectively remove sweat, excess oil, and impurities without stripping the skin.
Best Spring Cleansers:
- Dr Jart Cicapair Enzyme Cleansing Foam A gentle, non-stripping foaming cleanser that soothes sensitive skin while removing impurities.
- Sensoo Skincare Refreshing Gel Cleanser Perfect for spring, this lightweight gel cleanser keeps your skin hydrated while eliminating dirt and excess oil.
Tip: Double cleanse if you wear sunscreen or makeup to prevent clogged pores. Start with a micellar water or oil-based cleanser, followed by a gentle foaming or gel cleanser.
Swap Heavy Moisturizers for Hydrating Gels
Your thick winter moisturizer might start feeling too heavy as humidity levels rise. Switching to a lightweight, water-based moisturizer helps keep your skin hydrated without clogging pores.
Best Moisturizers for Spring:
- Sensoo Skincare Hydrating Gel Cream A non-greasy gel moisturizer that provides deep hydration while feeling light on the skin.
- Dr Jart Cicapair Calming Gel Cream A lightweight moisturizer infused with centella asiatica to soothe and hydrate sensitive skin.
Tip: If you have combination or oily skin, look for oil-free moisturizers to maintain hydration without extra shine.
Exfoliate to Brighten and Refresh Your Skin
Winter can leave behind dull, dry skin and buildup of dead skin cells. Spring is the perfect time to introduce gentle chemical exfoliation to reveal a brighter, smoother complexion.
Best Exfoliators for Spring:
- Dr Jart Cicapair Tiger Grass Enzyme Peeling Gel A gentle exfoliant that removes dead skin cells while calming sensitive skin.
- Sensoo Skincare AHA/BHA Exfoliating Toner Perfect for unclogging pores and removing dead skin, leaving you with a fresh, radiant look.
Tip: Avoid harsh scrubs that can damage the skin barrier. Instead, use chemical exfoliants like AHAs (glycolic or lactic acid) or BHAs (salicylic acid) 1-2 times a week.
Boost Hydration with Lightweight Serums
Spring can bring fluctuating temperatures that affect your skin’s moisture levels. Using a hydrating serum helps maintain balanced hydration without making your skin feel greasy.
Best Serums for Spring:
- Dr Jart Cicapair Serum A calming, anti-redness serum that strengthens the skin barrier and hydrates deeply.
- Sensoo Skincare Hyaluronic Acid Serum A lightweight yet powerful hydration booster that keeps your skin plump and smooth.
Tip: Layer your serum under a lightweight moisturizer to lock in hydration throughout the day.
Adjust Your SPF for Warmer Days
Sunscreen is essential all year round, but as the sun gets stronger in spring, it’s even more important to use a broad-spectrum SPF 50 sunscreen to prevent premature aging and sun damage.
Best Sunscreens for Spring:
- Dr Jart Every Sun Day Sun Fluid SPF 50 Lightweight, non-greasy, and perfect for everyday use.
- Sensoo Skincare Daily Defense Sunscreen SPF 50 Provides high sun protection while keeping your skin hydrated.
Tip: Reapply sunscreen every 2 hours, especially if you’re outdoors. A sunscreen mist or stick is great for on-the-go touch-ups.
Target Seasonal Skin Concerns
Springtime can bring seasonal allergies, increased humidity, and breakouts. Adjusting your routine to address these concerns helps keep your skin balanced and clear.
How to Manage Spring Skin Concerns:
✅ Redness & Sensitivity Use Dr Jart Cicapair Serum to calm irritation and reduce inflammation.
✅ Breakouts Increased humidity can cause more oil production. Use Sensoo Skincare BHA Clarifying Serum to prevent clogged pores.
✅ Allergy-Related Irritation Look for soothing ingredients like centella asiatica, chamomile, and oat extract.
Tip: If you experience more oiliness in spring, switch to an oil-free moisturizer and a mattifying SPF.
Spring-Proof Your Nighttime Routine
Nighttime skincare is the perfect time to repair, hydrate, and rejuvenate your skin. With warmer weather, focus on lighter hydration and skin barrier repair to wake up with refreshed skin.
Best Nighttime Skincare Products for Spring:
- Sensoo Skincare Overnight Hydration Mask A lightweight yet deeply hydrating overnight mask to restore moisture.
- Dr Jart Cicapair Sleepair Ampoule-in Mask Helps repair and soothe the skin while you sleep.
Tip: If your skin is feeling dry at night, try layering a hydrating essence or sleeping mask over your moisturizer.

As the weather warms up, switching to gentler cleansers, lightweight moisturizers, and soothing serums like Dr Jart Cicapair Serum and Sensoo Skincare Hydrating Gel Cream can help your skin adapt smoothly to the changing season.
