Spring Skincare Essentials for a Radiant Complexion
As the seasons change, so does your skin, and even spring’s milder weather is no exception. In fact, it’s often the lead-up to spring—when there’s a drastic shift in humidity and climate after the winter months—that causes trouble for your complexion. Not to mention, sunnier, warmer days have you wanting to put your best face forward.
In Iceland, spring is a season of transformation. The days grow longer, the snow begins to melt, and nature slowly awakens from winter’s grasp. Just as the landscape shifts, so do the needs of your skin. The changing climate—crisper air, increased sunlight, and rising humidity—calls for a refreshed skincare approach to maintain balance, hydration, and radiance.
Below, discover the best ways to optimize your skincare routine, as well as the ultimate spring skincare essentials to ensure you start the season off looking (and feeling) refreshed, revived, and radiant.
1. Brighten and Protect With Antioxidants
An antioxidant-rich serum is a must-have for shielding your skin from free radicals and environmental stressors. Vitamin C, known for its brightening and collagen-boosting properties, is especially beneficial in the springtime.
Try This: BL+ The Serum combines vitamin C with the exclusive BL+ COMPLEX, which supports collagen production and strengthens skin resilience. Apply after cleansing and before moisturizing for firmer, more radiant skin. And don’t forget SPF as the final step in your morning routine.
2. Revive Tired Eyes
With sunnier days ahead, increased squinting can lead to fine lines and fatigue around the eyes. Combat dullness and puffiness with a targeted eye serum packed with antioxidants and hydrating ingredients.
Try This: The BL+ Eye Serum is formulated with vitamin C and licorice root to brighten, caffeine to depuff, and hyaluronic acid for deep hydration. Plus, the BL+ COMPLEX fortifies the delicate eye area, keeping it smooth and resilient.
3. Switch to a Lightweight Moisturizer
As humidity levels rise, your skin retains more moisture, making heavy winter creams feel unnecessary. Instead, opt for lightweight yet deeply hydrating formulas.
Try This: The BL+ The Serum delivers intense hydration with three forms of hyaluronic acid, replenishing moisture at a cellular level. Follow with Blue Lagoon Hydrating Cream, a gel-cream infused with Blue Lagoon Silica and Blue Lagoon Seawater to nourish, protect, and enhance skin barrier function—without the heaviness of traditional creams.
4. Exfoliate for a Fresh Start
Buff away winter’s dullness with gentle exfoliation to reveal smooth, glowing skin.
For the Face: Cleanse with the Blue Lagoon Lava Mask or, for a gentler option, mix the Silica Mud Mask with water and massage in circular motions.
For the Body: Lena Dóra, head esthetician at Blue Lagoon’s Retreat Spa, recommends blending Blue Lagoon Bath Salts with Blue Lagoon Body Oil for a luxurious at-home exfoliation. Massage the mix into the skin before soaking in a bath or rinsing in the shower. The result? Silky, radiant skin from head to toe.
5. Prioritize Sun Protection
Spring’s mild temperatures can be deceptive—UV exposure remains high, making daily SPF essential.
Try This: Apply sunscreen every morning as the last step in your routine and reapply before extended outdoor exposure. Consistent sun protection helps prevent premature aging and maintains an even, healthy complexion year-round.
