The Importance of SPF in Spring (Yes, Even on Cooler Days!)

Spring is here – the flowers are blooming, the days are longer, and the sunshine feels a little warmer on your skin. It’s the season of fresh starts, and while you may be swapping out your wardrobe, there’s one thing that should stay constant in your routine: SPF.

Why SPF Matters in Spring

Spring brings more time outdoors – picnics, walks, long weekends – but also stronger UV rays. Even when the temperature feels mild, UV radiation is already climbing. That means your skin is exposed to the same damage that causes:

• Premature ageing (fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation)

• Uneven skin tone

• Increased risk of skin cancer

UV Rays Are Year-Round

Many people associate sunscreen with summer, but UV rays don’t disappear when it’s cooler. In fact, in spring, the sun sits higher in the sky for longer hours, so daily exposure adds up – even through clouds or while driving.

The Benefits of Daily SPF

Protects against early signs of ageing
Keeps your complexion bright and even
Shields your skin after professional treatments (facials, needling, peels)
Reduces long-term sun damage risks

Choosing the Right SPF for Spring

Look for a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ that feels light and breathable. In spring, your skin may feel a little oilier as humidity rises, so choose a sunscreen that won’t clog pores and sits beautifully under makeup.

Salon Tip

Think of SPF as your skin’s daily shield. Apply it every morning as the last step of your skincare routine, and reapply if you’re spending extra time outdoors this season. Pairing SPF with professional treatments is the best way to keep your glow fresh and protected.
