As temperatures rise and humidity increases, skincare routines should shift to match the season. Teresa Kontos, owner and aesthetician at Soluna Medical Aesthetics, in Bonita Springs, recommends transitioning from heavier winter creams to lighter, breathable products that hydrate without clogging pores.

“Warmer weather increases oil production, which can lead to congestion and breakouts,” Kontos says. “One of the best ways to reset your skin for spring is with a professional facial. A HydraFacial is especially effective because it deeply cleanses, exfoliates and hydrates the skin in one treatment.” After a deep-cleaning facial, Kontos advises switching to a lightweight, medical-grade moisturizer and committing to daily sun protection. “SPF 30 or higher should be worn every day—even on cloudy days.”

Key spring skincare habits include gently exfoliating to remove dull winter buildup, incorporating antioxidants like vitamin C to brighten the complexion and protect against environmental damage, and using calming ingredients such as chamomile, aloe or rosewater to soothe skin that may be stressed by seasonal changes.

April is also Stress Awareness Month, making relaxation-focused skincare treatments particularly beneficial. Facials not only support skin health, but also promote overall wellness by helping clients unwind and recharge.

Spring is the ideal time to “refresh” one’s beauty cabinet as well. Discard expired products and update one’s routine with formulas better suited for warmer weather and increased sun exposure.

For an at-home glow, Kontos recommends FarmHouse Fresh organic skincare. Start with the Three Milk Whipfoliant for gentle exfoliation, follow with the lightweight Three Milk Ageless Moisturizer, apply Elevated Shade SPF 30 for mineral sun protection, and finish with the Three Milk Ageless Sleep Cream to restore skin overnight.
