Spring is a time to emerge from our cocoons and come out of hibernation.
With warmer days afoot, we can now delight in the excitement of those first glorious days when we shed our thick layers, knits and tights in favour of lightweight fabrics and exposed limbs. During the colder months, our skin can feel a little neglected, so the new season provides the perfect chance to show yourself the love and pampering you deserve with an updated spring skincare routine.
When designing our bodycare collection, we took inspiration from our proud heritage in lingerie. The founder of La Perla lingerie, Ada Masotti, loved using the finest silks that felt so soft against the skin, it was almost like wearing nothing at all. We wanted to emulate this feeling with our products, creating a range of light and delicate formulas with subtle, delicious scents. Read on for our key spring skin tips.
How to Prep Your Skin For Spring
Transition to a lighter moisturiser for day
The harsh combination of home heating and brisk winter air can cause our skin to feel parched. As a result, we need richer moisturisers during this period that offer intense hydration to counteract the dryness. As we move into spring, however, a lighter formula can feel more comfortable. Our Firming Body Lotion Serum is a lightweight body moisturiser that is fast-drying, allowing you to slip on your favourite dress straight after application.
Treat yourself to a skin-renewing ritual
Why not take this new season as an opportunity to indulge in an exfoliating treatment to shed that winter layer? This will help to slough away dead skin cells to reveal smooth, healthier-looking skin you'll want to showcase. Our Energising Salts and Oil Body Scrub gently polishes the surface of the skin, while nourishing ingredients like prebiotic Berryflux Vita will leave behind a youthful glow.
Choose products with nourishing and protecting ingredients
Skin can react strongly to the changing seasons. Opting for products that contain anti-inflammatory ingredients will support its ability to adapt. Prebiotics can also help repair the skin's microbiome, which is what protects it from the external stressors we experience daily. One of our favourites is Prebiulin Aga, which promotes the growth of good bacteria on the outermost layer of the skin and strengthens the barrier of the epidermis. You can find this in both our Nourishing Body Balm and Firming Body Lotion Serum. We recommend you add these to your arsenal of spring skincare products.
Quench your body's thirst
As the weather warms up, we all need additional hydration, both inside and out. So when planning your seasonal skincare, look for products that are rich in emollient ingredients like jojoba oil, which can be found in our Soothing Bath & Shower Oil. Follow with our Firming Body Lotion Serum, which contains sweet almond oil that boasts nourishing and deeply hydrating properties. The added vitamin A also helps to rejuvenate tired skin cells while soothing and calming any irritations.
After implementing these few simple seasonal adjustments, your skin will feel rewarded and ready for its moment in the sun.
