Tips for Transitioning from Winter to Spring By Waterlily Skin Body Spa Founder – Michelle Reeve Spring is the season for transformation. Chinese medicine sees the contracting colder yin energ y of winter replaced with the expanding extroverted energies of warmer spring days. While the governing organ is liver and the corresponding element is wind, this is the perfect time to reflect on cleansing, detoxifying and letting go. The changing winds of spring mean that skin is constantly exposed to changing conditions including warmer days leading to increased oil, UVA and UVB exposure, dryness and dehydration. A seasonal skin review is the ideal prescription to maintain glowing and healthy skin. 34 2. Hydration Heroes Hydrated skin is healthy skin! Our skin is one of our key pathways for elimination and detoxification. Perspiration can lead to a decrease in the skins moisture levels during the warmer months. For effective hydration look for products free of congesting synthetics including mineral oil and petrochemicals. Instead choose a formulation enriched in lightweight essential fatty acids. Oils like pomegranate seed, argan, marula and jojoba are not only biochemically compatible with the skin and nutrient dense, but provide an effective lipid delivery system for the transdermal penetration of other active ingredients. Waterlily’s Daily Antioxidant Skin Boost targets hydration while protecting skin from premature ageing. Layered with omega 6, antioxidant vitamins, exotic fruits and herbal infusions to balance sebum while rejuvenating the complexion.
