Get glowing skin for spring - Top 5 Spring Skin Care Products - The Skin Guru

Believe it or not, spring is mere days away (well, technically speaking, at least!). Now’s the time to start repairing any damage winter left behind so you’ll be positively glowing by the time summer vacation (and bikini season…) rolls around:
* Slough off a winter’s worth of dull, flaky skin with Murad Intensive Wrinkle Reducer. During colder months, dry skin types can become too sensitive for exfoliation; as temperatures rise and skin becomes less fragile, though, you’ll see dramatic results from removing dead skin cells. This non-abrasive product stimulates cell turnover with glycolic acid and contains moisturizing glycerin, making it suitable for dry or sensitive skin, and also includes glucosamine, an excellent hyaluronic acid-stimulating anti-aging ingredient.* For oily types, though, the return of warm weather can spell trouble as their skin becomes even oilier. If you’d rather not pile on the powder - but don’t want to shine your way through spring and summer - check out OC Eight Professional Mattifying Gel. Applied after your normal skin care products, and before any makeup, it controls oil for up to eight hours.* Of course, very oily types who eschew moisturizers altogether run the risk of missing out on the valuable ingredients those products often contain. That’s why I love facial serums - they’re extremely lightweight, but offer a concentrated dose of skin-nourishing ingredients. Celazome Serum Vitae is particularly high in antioxidants and offers all the attendant benefits: It neutralizes free radicals to fight aging, reduces inflammation, and even helps repair the cellular damage that UV exposure can cause.* As the sun starts shining more and the trees bloom once again, I always find myself particularly inspired to try natural, plant-based products. Korres Magnolia Cleansing Emulsion is a fabulous option. It contains aloe, calendula, and almond oil to soothe dry, sensitive skin (like mine!) - and none of the detergents that strip crucial lipids from the skin barrier.* Ready to add a dose of fun and excitement to your daily routine? Philosophy’s The Alchemist is as transformative as its name suggests: It contains a pheromone that promises to improve your sense of well-being…and draw people to you. Valentine’s Day may be behind us, but you’ll never know it once you dab on a drop or two of this potion!
Wishing you great skin!
