How to keep your skin healthy during seasonal changes?

Spring is one of the most beautiful seasons – nature wakes up, flowers bloom, and the air is full of fresh energy. But for many people, this time of year also means allergy season, especially for those with sensitive or atopic skin.

While being outside should feel pleasant, for some, it brings redness, itching, and skin irritation. That’s why it’s important to know how to protect your skin and reduce the effects of the environment.

What causes skin irritation in spring?

During spring, the number of allergens in the air rises quickly. The main culprits include:

• Pollen – especially from grasses, trees, and weeds, which stays in the air for hours and easily settles on the skin.
• Fungal spores – thrive in damp environments and can trigger allergic reactions.
• Pet dander and dust mites – from household dust and furry animals, both common triggers.
• Spring cleaning – stirs up dust and allergens in the air, which can irritate the skin.

These triggers cause the body to release histamine – a chemical that leads to redness, itching, dryness, and inflammation.

How to protect your skin in spring – daily care tips

If you have sensitive skin, a good skincare routine is essential during spring.

Wash your face twice a day with a gentle cleanser – this helps remove allergens that settle on your skin, especially after being outdoors.

Use calming and barrier-repair creams – keeping your skin barrier strong prevents allergens from getting in.

Avoid products with fragrances and alcohol – these ingredients can irritate sensitive or allergic skin.

Use sunscreen – UV rays increase inflammation and make skin problems worse.
