With spring just around the corner, the desire for change is all the more pressing!
This desire usually involves the famous ‘spring cleaning’ ritual, which helps us to settle comfortably into the warmer months.
Just as we purify our homes by opening the shutters wide, cleaning more thoroughly and sorting out our wardrobes, purifying our skin and our bodies after the last frosts of winter is a very good idea.
Think of spring as a time for renewal and beauty!
And indeed, with the right skincare products, your skin can be full of vitality and more radiant than ever!
Oceau Marine recommends a thorough cleansing to remove accumulated impurities, stimulate cell renewal and prepare the skin for the first exposure to the sun.
However, it's a good idea to take it easy, as the skin can be more fragile during these interim periods, and needs a gentle touch to adapt gradually to changes in temperature changes.
Here's our expert advice on how to gently wake up your skin...
No harsh cleansing
To prevent redness and pimples from proliferating like the first buds of the season, it's best to treat the skin as gently and gently as possible.
The first buds of the season, it's best to treat the skin as gently as possible and not and not overly aggressive cleansing, which can damage the skin's fragile balance of the skin barrier.
Similarly, using a list of cosmetic products as long as your arm is not going to help to purify your skin - quite the contrary !

Know your skin profile to adapt your skincare routine
Does your skin have imperfections? What problem do you experience at this time of year? Ask yourself the right questions to select the skincare products that meet your needs.
It's important to know your skin type well enough to avoid making mistakes in your skincare routin, bearing in mind that it may also be prone to certain transitory conditions depending on the immediate environment, temperature and humidity (increased sensitivity, need for hydration, etc.).
- Normal skin is said to be balanced : it is neither dry nor oily. Its complexion is even and it has few or no imperfections.
- Dry skin tends to be more marked and is more sensitive, It can be prone to redness and tightness because it lacks moisture.
- Oily skin suffers primarily from an imbalance and excess of sebum. pores are dilated, and it often has imperfections (blackheads and pimples).
- Combination skin has oily areas (the famous T-zone of the face: forehead, nose and chin) and drier or normal areas (generally the cheeks), so it requires targeted skincare to rebalance each of these areas.
rebalance each of these areas.
EXTRA VIGILANCE FOR PROBLEM SKIN!
In spring, it's a good idea to keep a close eye on your skin, especially if it's atopic, prone to acne or if you suffer from a chronic inflammatory condition (acne, psoriasis, rosacea, eczema...) which can flare up just as the warmer weather returns.
This is due to a number of factors that you can sometimes take action on to better prepare and care for your skin and moisturise it in depth:
- temperature variations between the two seasons, which cause dryness and increased skin sensitivity.
- The proliferation of allergens such as pollens released by plants in spring, which can trigger certain skin reactions.
- Exposure to the first rays of the sun, especially if the skin is unprepared and unprotected, as even these first rays can cause serious sunburn!
- Fatigue (linked to the time change, new lifestyles), heightened emotions and stress, all of which weaken the immune system, making our bodies more vulnerable to inflammation.
Oily, dry and combination skin can also find it hard to adapt to these new environmental factors, so it's important to give it the strength it needs to combat excess sebum or dehydration by using appropriate skin care products that help it to balance itself better.
