With spring nearly in full swing, it’s time to start thinking about switching up your skincare routine. All winter long, we’ve been drenching our skin in layers of rich moisturizers, balms, oils and creams. But as the weather warms up, skin needs a different approach. So, how do you prep skin for brighter, warmer days ahead? Start with these simple swaps for your freshest, most radiant skin yet.
Lighten Things Up
When the air is cold and dry, water evaporates from the skin more quickly, which can lead to dehydration. As temperatures and humidity rise, skin is likely to retain more moisture and feel less dry. A seasonal skincare switch is all about shifting textures, and adding lighter, more breathable layers for a complexion that looks and feels balanced, supple and awake again.
Time to Exfoliate
To begin, a smooth slate is key. Freezing temperatures, dry air and indoor heating can create buildup on the skin’s surface. Exfoliating consistently will make your skin look healthier, no matter the time of year, and help the rest of your products sink in more effectively. If you haven’t already started exfoliating, spring is a great time to visibly brighten the dull skin that has accumulated during the winter.
Our Seaglow Resurfacing Scrub is your one-step reset for smoother, radiant-looking skin. This dual-action exfoliator pairs oceanic physical exfoliants with flower acids to promote cell renewal, smooth uneven texture and minimize the look of pores for a noticeable glow that just gets better over time. The unique whipped marshmallow-like, pillowy texture and jasmine and rose-geranium scent turn every use into a truly sensorial experience.
Exfoliating isn’t just for your face. It delivers similar benefits for your body and feels pretty incredible, too. Indulgent and deeply moisturizing, our Salts of the Earth Body Scrub uses mineral-rich salts combined with moisturizing shea butter and nutrient-rich Gigartina seaweed to instantly polish away roughness and smooth uneven texture, revealing silky-soft skin. It’s infused with dreamy lavender oil for a next-level soothing spa-like shower experience.
Hydrate with Hyaluronic Acid

One ingredient that continues to shine, even as temperatures rise, is hyaluronic acid. This powerful humectant helps you maintain a healthy-looking, hydrated complexion all season long and beyond. It sinks into skin instantly and feels weightless, making it amazing for all skin types (even oily ones). And despite the “acid” in the name, hyaluronic acid is not exfoliating at all.
Packed with high and low molecular weights of hyaluronic acid alongside nutrient-rich Japanese Miru Seaweed, our Hyaluronic Sea Serum is clinically shown to improve elasticity and visibly reduce lines and wrinkles while boosting hydration. In a clinical study, 100% of participants showed improvement in fine lines and wrinkles* and 97% showed improvement in skin hydration* after just one use.
*Based on an independent, third-party clinical study conducted on 31 women.
Hyaluronic acid isn’t just for your face anymore. Meet Hyaluronic Body Serum. This ultra-hydrating, full-body treatment is lightweight, fast-absorbing and clinically shown to immediately boost hydration by 161%* while improving the skin’s natural moisture barrier. Powered by five molecular weights of hyaluronic acid, aloe, vegan peptides and nutrient-dense seaweed, it delivers 24 hours of multi-surface hydration.

Refresh Your Moisturizer
Swapping your heavier moisturizer for something a little lighter is essential to any warm-weather routine. For daytime, reach for Atmosphere® Protection Cream. This lightweight, everyday moisturizer is clinically shown to instantly create a barrier between skin and environmental pollutants. A blend of brown and green seaweed extracts, sea water, and marine exopolysaccharide soothe dry skin while balancing skin’s microbiome. The silky texture is practically weightless, layers easily under makeup and sunscreen and leaves a fresh, satiny finish.
Before bed, you’ll want to use a dedicated night cream to moisturize and support your skin’s natural renewal process. Our Dream Night Cream with Bio-Retinol is the key to waking up with rested, refreshed, radiant skin that looks and feels great all day. It’s the first overnight moisturizer clinically shown to reduce the visible effects of stress on skin during its nightly repair phase. The unique formula is overflowing with nourishing ingredients: algae-derived bio-retinol, king of bitters, five vital hydrators and soothing organic wild lavender.
*Based on a third-party clinical study conducted over 4 weeks on 29 women ages 33-60.
Your body also needs some TLC—it’s been buried under heavy clothes all winter. Add in long, hot showers that can strip away moisture, and it’s no wonder skin feels extra dry this time of year. The skin on our bodies contains fewer sebaceous glands than our face, and therefore doesn’t hydrate itself as effectively. That’s where our bestselling Undaria Algae™ Body Butter comes in. Ultra-rich and utterly moisturizing, this decadent cream transforms dry, crepey skin to soft, smooth and supple. Fast-absorbing? Check. Clinically shown to hydrate for 72 hours? Check. High-performance, skincare-level ingredients like firming amino acid DPHP, seaweed, ceramides and whipped shea butter? You bet. And the uplifting citrusy scent will make you long for summer.
Protect with SPF
No matter which season of the year it is, we recommend using SPF every single day. With spring sunshine and more time spent outdoors, it’s even more important to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) and reapply every two hours when outside. Consider it your final step for skin that looks as fresh and bright as the season ahead.
