Spring is here, bringing longer days, warmer weather, and the promise of renewal. But for many South Africans, the season also brings unique skin challenges.
In fact, a study conducted by IPSOS shows that over 70% of South Africans suffer from dry and sensitive skin. These challenges are often worse during the summer and spring, due to increased sun exposure, seasonal allergies, and environmental changes, all of which leave skin dry, irritated, and needing extra care.
This reality calls for skincare brands to offer products with relief solutions for soothing, nourishing, and protecting dry, itchy, and eczema-prone skin. In the same light, consumers must adjust their skincare to fit their skin’s needs as the seasons change.
Below are some tips on how you can ditch the itch and embrace radiant, comfortable skin this spring.
Hydrate Your Skin Daily
Sun exposure and warmer weather can strip your skin of its natural moisture, leaving it dry and dehydrated. A lightweight, Fragrance-free moisturiser such as the Aveeno Skin Relief Range which provides 24-hour hydration and strengthens the skin barrier, making it the ideal solution for combating dryness and dehydration.
Cleanse Gently
Seasonal allergies can cause inflammation and irritation, making it essential to use a gentle cleanser that will not strip your skin. Consider a soap-free wash, enriched with the Triple Oat Complex, which will leave your skin feeling soft and nourished.
Protect Your Skin Barrier
Your skin barrier is your first line of defence against environmental triggers like pollen and UV rays. Strengthen your skin with the Aveeno Skin Relief Range that locks in moisture and soothes irritation, ensuring your skin stays balanced and comfortable throughout the day.
Do not Forget Self-Care
Skincare is more than just a routine; it is an act of self-care. Take a moment to relax with a soothing bath or a gentle massage using your moisturiser. These small rituals can make a significant difference in how you feel, both physically and emotionally.
The Power of Oats in Skincare
