Winter can be tough on our skin. Cold air, central heating and heavier routines often leave it feeling dry, dull and in need of some TLC. As spring approaches and thoughts turn to sunshine, holidays and glowing skin, now is the perfect time to reset your skincare routine and prep your skin for the brighter months ahead.
Here’s how to transition your skin from winter mode to spring and summer-ready - the healthy, radiant way.
Gently Exfoliate Away Winter Dullness
Over winter, dead skin cells can build up on the surface, making skin appear lacklustre and uneven. Exfoliation is one of the most important steps in preparing your skin for warmer weather.
Why it matters:
- Helps reveal fresher, smoother skin
- Allows moisturisers, SPFs and tanning products to absorb evenly
- Prevents patchiness when building a natural glow
Re-Hydrate From Head to Toe
Winter skin often lacks moisture, and hydrated skin is key to achieving a healthy glow. Before increasing sun exposure, it’s essential to restore moisture levels.
How to boost hydration:
- Apply a moisturiser daily, especially after showering
- Look for nourishing ingredients like aloe vera, natural oils and botanical extracts
- Drink plenty of water to support hydration from within
Build a Glow-Enhancing Routine
Spring is the ideal time to gradually introduce products that support tanning and skin conditioning - especially if you’re planning holidays or outdoor time.
- A simple glow-prep routine might include:
- A hydrating tanning accelerator to condition the skin
- SPF layered over tanning products for outdoor exposure
- Daily moisturising to lock in hydration
Australian Gold’s iconic formulas are enriched with natural ingredients that help nourish the skin while supporting a sun-kissed look.
Don’t Forget Post-Sun & Daily Care
Preparing your skin isn’t just about what you apply before sun exposure - it’s also about maintaining your skin afterwards.
Why aftercare matters:
- Helps skin recover and stay moisturised
- Extends the life of your tan
Keeps skin looking smooth and healthy
Using a tan extender or daily moisturiser consistently will help you maintain that fresh, radiant look throughout spring and into summer.
Start Now for Your Best Glow Yet
Prepping your skin for spring and summer doesn’t need to be complicated - small, consistent steps make a big difference. By exfoliating gently, hydrating daily and introducing SPF early, you’ll create the perfect foundation for glowing, healthy skin all season long.
With Australian Gold products by your side, you can welcome the warmer months confident, protected and ready to glow.
