March skincare: 6 changes you need to make to your routine this spring
As winter transitions into spring, your skin’s needs begin to change with rising temperatures, humidity, and increased sun exposure. This article explains how to update your skincare routine for March by switching to lighter moisturisers, adding sunscreen and antioxidants.
As winter slowly fades and spring begins to settle in, your skin starts going through its own quiet transition. The dryness of colder months gives way to rising humidity, increased sun exposure, and fluctuating temperatures.

Spring is a tricky in-between phase. Your skin is still recovering from winter dryness, but it’s also starting to produce more oil as temperatures rise. This shift can lead to unexpected breakouts, dullness, or even sensitivity. The key is to strike a balance, hydrating enough without overwhelming your skin.

Heavy creams that felt comforting in winter can now start clogging pores or feeling greasy. Switch to a lightweight, gel-based or water-based moisturiser that hydrates without sitting heavily on the skin. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid and glycerin that lock in moisture without excess oil.

If sunscreen felt optional in winter, spring is where it becomes non-negotiable. UV exposure increases significantly during this time, even on slightly cloudy days. Daily SPF 30 or above is essential to prevent tanning, pigmentation, and early ageing.

After months of dry, flaky skin, exfoliation helps bring back glow and smoothness. But here’s the catch: Over-exfoliating can damage your skin barrier, especially when your skin is already adjusting to weather changes.

With rising temperatures, sweat and oil production increase, which can clog pores if not managed properly. Switch to a gentle foaming or gel cleanser that removes excess oil without stripping your skin. Double cleansing at night can also help remove sunscreen and impurities more effectively.
