What Your Skin is Craving: 5 Skincare Products Perfect for Spring

While later than usual, the transition has finally begun here in New York. The frigid, icy winds of winter are giving way to the warmer, more humid breezes of spring. Snow has become rain, albeit still somewhat cold. And skin is going from needing to be protected by heavier, more resilient products, to things that are a little lighter and bit more carefree.

As we transition with the season, and I think of skincare, the phrase that comes to mind is “low-maintenance.” Of course, the challenge for anyone in keeping a skincare routine relatively relaxed (especially when your skin requires every healthy measure and the full armor of god like mine) lies in not sacrificing quality or care. However, you can rest easy with these 5 products that will shorten your skincare regimen enough for you to spend that time sleeping...or window-shopping on fifth avenue...or ACTUALLY shopping on 5th avenue.

1. Raw African Shea Butter ($5-$10)

My favorite out of everything on this list. Raw African Shea butter has been used by tribes in Africa for centuries for everything from cooking to treating psoriasis and muscle pain. For me, its most important uses are for acne, scarring, and sunblock.

Raw Shea butter is a natural SPF15, and I find from my personal use of it as a moisturizer that it definitely lives up to its reputation for clearing blemishes and pimples as well as helping to heal scars and discoloration. While it isn’t an instant fix (some things just take time,) you know right away what you’re putting on your face. This thick, yellow miracle is, alway has been, and hopefully always will be, completely natural. No additives or chemicals necessary. It perfect for body, hair, face, AND as a lip balm. I’ve been in love with it for years. And don’t be fooled by hipsters who buy everything from Whole Foods/Whole Body. It’s not expensive at all. While Whole Foods charges upwards of $20 for a small jar of Shea butter, you can strut right on down to most local/independent beauty supply stores (not Sally) and damn near every major American city, and cop a smallish plastic tub for $5; or if you’re buying for more than one person, a $10 tub will last for months. You can get it whipped or solid. I prefer whipped as it’s easier to spread. Also, if you’re like me in that you like to experiment with making your own bath & body products, Shea butter is a great base for any product you can think of. A moisturizing Shampoo or Conditioner. Mix it with coconut oil and some essential oils for a luxurious body and hair butter. Literally any product you can think of making would be greatly enriched by Shea butter. It’s the reason most black will never crack. You’re welcome.

2. Kiehl’s Nightly Refining Micro-peel Concentrate ($54)

Now, this one threw me for a loop. I’m usually opposed to any product that costs more than $25, but at the time I saw this serum, I was at the end of a tour with Complexions Contemporary Ballet (which means I had money to burn,) I was desperate for something to calm my skin down from traveling so much, and I was fed up with being told to “be patient” while waiting for my skin to settle down and go back to the former, glowing glory of my teen years.

In I wander to a Kiehl’s in the Denver International Airport, where I meet a somewhat quirky, vivacious salesgirl named Bheic, pronounced “Beck,” with beautiful skin! So I obviously trust her word on skincare right away. I explain my issues to her as soon as she asks.

Had some bad breakouts a few months ago. Those have been maintained lately, but the scars remain...literally. The only problem with melanin? If you’re light-skinned, you’ll more likely have scars for damn near all of eternity. And then?

Micro-peel to the rescue! Bheic was very good at explaining their products and the purposes of said products to me. This Nightly Recovery Micro-peel is far less violent than it sounds, and (gasp) actually works by greatly increasing cell turnover while you sleep. I’ve been using it every day for about 5 days now and I’ve already seen a huge shift in the state of my skin. Scars that have been there since January have been fading even more quickly than I expected. If you’re one of my more melanated brethren, and you tend to have a problem with the scars a breakout leaves after it clears up, this serum will be your savior. It’s definitely been mine.

3. The Body Shop Vitamin C Energizing Face Mist ($20)

Another product that caught my attention while I was bored and wandering Denver International, this one from the Body Shop (a long-time favorite of mine...their Olive shower gel and body butter are a long-time favorite pairing of mine,) boasts an incredibly important ingredient in the recipe for radiance. Vitamin C. It’s been found to lighten dark marks and even your skin tone and even, when used appropriately, increase collagen production. And of course there are also the internal benefits, but let’s stick to beauty for a second.

This mist smells amazingly citrusy, and upon application gives you a slight tightening feeling without feeling dry. And immediately, I could see my skin come roaring back to life after no sleep the night before. I would definitely recommend this during the day, every few hours or so, as the ultimate refreshing spritz. Citrus will liven up any party, but I’m sure your face will thank you more. Treat yourself to this bit of sunshine in a bottle. You owe it to yourself to look alive.

4. Scratch Goods Cleansing Oil ($14)

This one hasn’t really made its way into my own skincare arsenal yet, but I’m coveting it pretty heavily. I can’t wait to finally take a trip back to Chicago and get this cleansing oil into my life at the Scratch Goods Skin Bar. And no, the skin bar doesn’t serve drinks. All they serve is pure goodness for every skin type. This cleansing oil consists of tea tree oil to fight bacteria while refreshing your skin, castor oil for a deep cleanse and balancing, and almond oil for some seriously soothing moisture. Friends of mine back in Chicago absolutely swear by it. And contrary to popular belief, cleansing oils are not just for removing makeup. Oil-cleansing is an actual method of alleviating any number of skin problems by maintaining (and sometimes even lowering) the rate of oil production. And of course, it’s a fun 2-for-1 in that it can serve as both a cleanser AND a moisturizer. This one is definitely at the top of my list for my next skincare overhaul. It should be at the top of yours, too.

5. Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Daily Skin Therapy ($6-$10)

Yet another long-time favorite of mine, Palmer’s cocoa butter lotion is the stuff of your sweetest dreams. The perfect density for any season, this light cocoa butter formula will moisturize and heal your dry, scarred, or stretched out skin in no time. And rather than leaving you smelling like a piping hot glass of cocoa all day, the scent fades significantly after application, leaving a feather-light sweetness on you that will mingle well with most fragrances (something I’m often concerned about with scented lotions.) And it absorbs very quickly, so you won’t have to worry about the greasy feeling some people get when wearing anything with the word “butter” in it. This one will help you give the phrase “smooth as butter” a whole new face. Enjoy.

Please remember : Happiness is conscious choice! We choose to be happy and happiness choose us in turn!

This is my recent learning and am so glad i learnt to unlearn something - 💕 something which restricts me to move forward, something which creates fear in me without any practical reason, something which doesn't let me forget my past experiences, something which holds me up with the old impressions of somebody and doesnt let me change it. 💕 So Mr. (Or may be Ms.😛) Something... You no more exist for me! 💕 I am ready to learn and explore myself. 💕 I am ready to take risks ,make mistakes and learn from it. 💕 And from now on, whenever you come in my way, i will show you high way!😛😂💕 💕 #insta #instagood #instadaily #buddingblogger #buddingwriter #instalike #instagram #instagramer #writingprompts #writing #writersofinstagram #writingcommunity #writerscommunity #writersofindia #mychoice #mywords #mylittleworld #mythoughts #learning #letgoandgrow #letsgrowtogether #lifelessons #liveyourlifetothefullest♥ #lifebook #lifecoach #fearless #feelyourfeelings #feelingmyself #moods #promisetoself https://www.instagram.com/p/B5ey1g-ln7T/?igshid=2ncezrh71fjf

A coin has two sides, a story can have two ends, a situation can be handled in two alternate ways, a truth has two versions and so, a personality has two sides. 💕 And this is my personality. 💕 We should never judge a book by its cover - and so the people with their degrees , good looks , exorbitant life style, or some really nice words in first few meets. 💕 Give time to them to show their real colours and to reveal yours😛. 💕 Be nice to all but dont let them taking advantage of your niceness. 💕 You are not here to please them. 💕 Saying NO is an act of courage, an act of self love. 💕 Similarly , there is always a thin line difference between being selfish and prioritising self care. Need to be wise enough to choose to be the one at that moment. 💕 And yea, Virgos are not always soft and gentle, they are hidden volcanoes. Never underestimate the virgo power. 💕 Beware!🤣😛 💕 Love and light to all! #insta #instagood #instadaily #instalike #instamood #instagramer #instathought #bekind #bekindtoyourself #virgo #personality #letgoandgrow #loveforwriting #buddingblogger #buddingwriter #writingprompts #writersofinstagram #writing #lifeisbliss #lifelessons #lifecoach #lifeisbeautiful #gratitude #reminder https://www.instagram.com/p/B5VpESHlEa2/?igshid=1dw8b14ux6gv9

The beautiful gratitude towards life is to embrace the beauty around you! And in turn you will find the beauty inside you. ❤️ What a beautiful vicious circle it is! ❤️ Also, this sudden , unwanted and unwilling trip to one of the most difficult terrains made me realised today that you meet only two kinds of people : ❤️ 1. Who will be an experience to you (good or bad thats upto you to perceive and react) 2. For whom you will be an experience (again good or bad its all upto you) ❤️ We can get hurt or happy according to our own inner will , people around us are only the stimulators. ❤️ And once we consciously decide to be happy , things around us change- they become more beautiful than ever before, more serene than ever before ,and more easily coming to you than ever before. ❤️ Love and light to all! #buddingblogger #buddingwriter #insta #instagood #innervoice #innerpeace #instadaily #instalike #instamood #instagramer #instagram #instathought #instaphoto #instatravel #lifeisbliss #lifecoach #lifeisgood #lifeisbeautiful #letgoandgrow #mood #morningthought #motivation #writingprompts #writersofinstagram #writing #thoughtoftheday #thoughts #loveyourself #loveforwriting #conscience https://www.instagram.com/p/B5Rxfq0leD1/?igshid=127r3yul7vgjx

This is my recent most favourite quote and i so so relate to it! ❤️ Its with my personal experience i can say that the moment you shift your attention from anything which disturbs you to something which gives you some peace or little happiness; ❤️ You instantly shift from a negative energy paradigm to positive one. ❤️ You become more active than a lousy. ❤️ You are more happy than being sad. ❤️ You suddenly start getting outputs which you haven't since no. Of failed trials. ❤️ Your health starts getting improved. ❤️ You like to take risks, keen to do what to you always wanted to but somehow an unwanted ,unseen force stops you. ❤️ You feel a new YOU! ❤️ And this you is ME 💞 ❤️ Just try once.! Do consciously put some efforts to remove the subconscious limiting beliefs you have and see the magic. ❤️ PS: this favourite quote of mine is of my NLP mentor Graham Nicholls and am so so grateful to him for this and much more. #insta #instagood #instadaily #instamood #instagramer #instagram #inspiration #instathought #instapic #instalike #buddingblogger #buddingwriter #lifequotes #lifeisbliss #lifecoach #lifeisone #life #lifeisbeautiful #lifeisprecious #lifelessons #motivation #letsdoit #letgoandgrow #letsgrowtogether #mindbodysoul #mindfulness #gratitude #mindbodyconnection #yourquote #mychoice https://www.instagram.com/p/B5C9W8nFwIp/?igshid=1sulmpds3iwiy

ME : " I need to make a decision!" ANALYTICAL MIND : Wait let me search and give you all the information required! ( Infact in most of the cases, giving you tonnes of information which isn't required too!) EMOTIONAL MIND : Ohh wow! Lets do it man! Thats so freaking awesome. ( Usually takes decision in an instant and doesn't think much about consequences!) Both keep feeding his interest of information to INTELLIGENT MIND. INTELLIGENT MIND: Wait my dear friends! Let me make a rational decision! AND THE STORY CONTINUES......
