Spring Awakening: Why Your Skin Is Producing More Sebum Now

What Happens to Your Skin During the Transition Season?

The cold season is slowly coming to an end, temperatures are rising, and nature is coming back to life. But it’s not just plants that are adjusting to spring—our skin reacts to the changes, too. Many people notice increased sebum production, which makes the skin look shinier and more prone to breakouts.

Why does the skin produce more sebum in the spring?

  1. Higher temperatures stimulate the sebaceous glands: In winter, the sebaceous glands operate at a lower level because the cold temperatures reduce oil production. As soon as temperatures rise, sebum production ramps up again—the skin becomes oily more quickly.
  2. Rising humidity promotes skin oil production: As spring arrives, not only do temperatures rise, but so does humidity. This causes the skin to lose less moisture—but at the same time, it produces more sebum to protect itself against changing environmental conditions.
  3. More sunlight stimulates the skin: Sunlight stimulates vitamin D production, which in turn can influence sebum production. Additionally, UV radiation often leads to a thickening of the outermost layer of skin, making it harder for sebum to drain and potentially causing breakouts.

Effects on your skin: Oily shine and breakouts

  • The skin appears oilier and begins to shine
  • Clogged pores lead to blackheads and pimples
  • Incorrect skincare can worsen the appearance of your skin

Tip: Now is the perfect time to adjust your skincare routine to the new season.

The Best Skincare for Spring

  1. Gentle yet effective cleansing: Proper cleansing is essential for removing excess sebum and dirt particles. Opt for mild cleansing products like the Tal ABSOLUE Cleansing Gel, which gently purifies without drying out the skin.
  2. Light moisturizers instead of rich creams: Switch from heavy winter creams to light, hydrating formulas that aren’t too greasy. A good choice is the Tal ABSOLUE Detoxifying Day Cream, which provides intense hydration without clogging pores.
  3. Regular exfoliation to cleanse pores: A gentle exfoliator removes dead skin cells and prevents breakouts.
  4. Daily sunscreen is a must: The spring sun can be intense, so you should use a lightweight sunscreen.
  5. A healthy diet and plenty of water: A balanced diet rich in vitamins supports skin health. Also, drink enough water to hydrate your skin from the inside out.

Conclusion: Achieve a radiant complexion with the right skincare

The transition from winter to spring presents many challenges for the skin. A tailored skincare routine helps regulate excess sebum and prevent breakouts.
