Spring Skincare Routine Glow, Hydration & LPG Tips
Spring Skincare Routine Glow, Hydration & LPG Tips
Bonjour les amis!
As we wave goodbye to winter (finally!) and feel the first rays of spring sunshine, it’s time to give our skin and wellbeing routines a little refresh. Spring is my favourite season and is all about renewal, lightness, and glow and your skincare should reflect that too.
Here’s what I personally swear by to transition from cold, grey days to longer, lighter ones, the Marine-approved Spring Edit, straight from The French Pharmacy shelves.
Step 1 – Exfoliate for a Fresh Start
Let’s begin with the ultimate reset: gentle exfoliation. Winter can leave your skin dull, dry and a bit congested – exfoliating helps remove dead skin cells, unclogs pores and reveals a fresher complexion.
French pharmacy picks I love:
Caudalie Vinoperfect Micropeel Foam – A gentle cleanser leaving the skin brighter
Gallinée Face Vinegar – resurfaces and rebalances with prebiotics and lactic acid for sensitive skin
La Rosée Nourishing Body Scrub - For all skin types, even the most sensitive, thanks to its ultra-healthy formulation.
Pro tip: Finish with a touch of glow – a few drops of Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Or Floral on your collarbones, legs or arms adds that golden, sun-kissed sparkle we all crave in spring.
Step 2 – Switch to Lighter Hydration for Spring
As temperatures rise, we swap heavy winter creams for lightweight hydration that still deeply nourishes without feeling greasy. Your skin needs water, not weight!
My glow-boosting hydration favourites:
Koba Light-it up face cream – Daily mattifying face cream to meet all your skin’s needs
Avène Hydrance Aqua-Gel – ultra-fresh gel texture, great for day or night
Embryolisse Radiance complexion CC Cream – The perfect spring version of a French icon
Pro tip: Apply serum to damp skin or spray thermal water to lock in even more moisture.
Step 3 – Use Daily SPF for Spring Sun Protection
Yes – SPF is essential, even in London! UVA rays (the ones that cause ageing and pigmentation) are present all year round, and we’re naturally spending more time outside in spring.
SPFs that feel amazing on the skin:
La Roche-Posay Anthelios UVMune 400 SPF50+ – featherlight and invisible
SVR Sun Secure Blur SPF50 – soft-focus tint with a velvety finish
Avène ultra-fluid radiance prevent photoaging, whilst giving the skin a radiant glow.
Make it a daily habit – your future self will thank you.
LPG Body Treatments – Smooth, Tone & Boost Circulation
Spring is the perfect time to wake up the body after months of hibernation. That’s why I always recommend a series of LPG Endermologie body treatments. They stimulate lymphatic drainage, reduce water retention, smooth cellulite, and firm the skin – all 100% natural and non-invasive.
Whether you're prepping for lighter clothes or just want to feel energised and confident, LPG is a game-changer for circulation, detox, and body contouring.
Book your LPG body treatment at The French Pharmacy or pop in for a personalised consultation – we’ll guide you every step of the way.
Spring Wellbeing Tips – Detox, Sleep & Glow from Within
Skincare is just one piece of the puzzle – spring is also the perfect time to reset your wellbeing. Lighter meals, fresh air, movement, and small rituals can work wonders.
Here’s what I reach for in spring:
Caudalie Herbal tea : draining and relaxing
Aime Summer Glow: My summer preparation in a bottle!
And don’t forget your nails – a fresh mani in a bright, joyful colour is the perfect finishing touch! Try a coral, lilac, or poppy red to match the season’s energy.
And of course, my number one beauty tip: good sleep and staying hydrated – classic, but unbeatable.
