A dull complexion, taut skin, redness… all little worries that remind us that our skin needs a little attention to regain its vitality. Fortunately, spring, with its promise of renewal and softness, is the ideal time to pamper our skin and prepare it to face the changing seasons. In this article, we reveal a few secrets to help you regain radiant, healthy skin and a radiant complexion for spring, thanks to natural advice and O’Naturalis products, real concentrates of benefits for your epidermis.

Understanding your skin’s needs in spring

The transition from winter to spring is a bit like moving house for our skin. Temperatures rise, the air becomes more humid, and the sun graces us with its presence. All this is great, but it can also upset the balance of our skin. After the winter months, we often need to clean up: purify, moisturize and protect. Exfoliation is like sweeping away dead skin cells. Moisturizing is like giving a thirsty plant a drink.

3 key steps to a radiant complexion for spring

1. Gentle exfoliation

We all need to get rid of dead skin, don’t we? It’s a bit like removing dust from a piece of furniture. And there’s nothing like a gentle exfoliator.

At O’Naturalis, our cold-saponified soaps are perfect for this. They gently cleanse and remove impurities, leaving skin smooth and soft. We particularly recommend our soaps like O’Laf, O’Cigalou or O’Malley. These soaps, used with our natural sponges or our sisal pouchfor gentle, effective exfoliation.

A gentle exfoliation once or twice a week, concentrating on the roughest areas, is all it takes to give you brand-new skin! Massage gently in small circles, then rinse off with lukewarm water.

Don’t forget your back! Our double-action exfoliating and cleansing lanyard, horsehair and cottonis perfect for your back: one side for exfoliation, the other for gentle cleansing.

2. Intense hydration

After winter, our skin is dry. We need to nourish it, and not with just anything!

Shea butter and vegetable oils are what she loves. And if they’re organic, even better!

Our O’Smose solid creams are like a cuddle for the skin. They’re rich in shea butter, which deeply nourishes and repairs. Each cream has its own little extra:

• Calendula macerate is a real comforter for sensitive skin.
• Argan oil is a boost for mature skin.
• Jojoba oil is perfect for combination skin…
• Lavender macerate is a band-aid for damaged skin.

Apply morning and night, and whenever you feel the need. Massage gently until the cream has penetrated the skin.

3. A course of vitamins and antioxidants

Beautiful skin also means beautiful skin on the inside. Fill up on vitamins and antioxidants with seasonal fruits and vegetables.

And don’t forget to drink water, lots of water! It’s important for eliminating toxins and keeping the skin well hydrated.
