April Tip of the Month: Spring Skin Tips

Maintaining Healthy Skin During Seasonal Changes

The transition from winter to spring is marked by longer days and more sunlight. The change from cold, windy conditions to warmer, sunny weather can be a shock to the skin, resulting in eczema and rosacea flares, and a common condition called polymorphous light eruption caused by an increase in ultraviolet light exposure.

All of these factors disturb your skin health and comfort, so educate and work to help maintain healthy skin for spring. Sometimes a simple regimen adjustment can help the skin through seasonal changes.

How Epionce Helps

• Barrier Repair Technology helps optimize the function of the skin and its natural repair system
• Anti-Inflammatory Technology blocks the formation and activation of chronic inflammatory factors caused by change in seasons
• Keratolytic Technology encourages cell turnover to remove dead skin cells, clear pores of impurities and retexturize skin
• Broad-spectrum sunscreens protect the skin from exposure to damaging UVA and UVB rays

Epionce Regimens

Anti-inflammatory and barrier repair formulas are key as changes in temperature, humidity and ultraviolet light wreak havoc on the skin and aggravate conditions like eczema, rosacea or keratosis pilaris. If you are prone to seasonal skin reactions, choose an Epionce regimen that addresses the root cause – a compromised barrier and inflammation.

Tips for Skin Conditions
Eczema, Rosacea, Keratosis Pilaris or Polymorphous Light Eruption

• Milky Lotion Cleanser or Gentle Foaming Cleanser cleanse skin without causing irritation
• Balancing Toner soothes and hydrates itchy, dry or sensitive skin
• Enriched Body Cream and Renewal Calming Cream contain anti-inflammatory and barrier repair technologies that calm itching, burning and stinging while strengthening a compromised skin barrier
• Ultra Shield SPF 50 has broad-spectrum protection against UV light, plus contains anti-inflammatory botanical ingredients to reduce redness
• Wear UPF clothing and a wide-brimmed hat while outside to guard against overexposure to sunlight while skin adjusts to additional UV light

Switching to a Spring Regimen
Spring is an ideal time to update a regimen for warmer weather 

• We recommend a cleanser for skin type to gently remove dirt, oil and makeup without disrupting pH or stripping skin of necessary oils
• Add a Lytic product for skin type; Keratolytic Technology unclogs pores and improves skin texture without causing inflammation
• Consider adjusting your Renewal Facial products to a lighter emolliency; Renewal formula for the same benefits with less heaviness
• Enriched Firming Mask is a highly emollient weekly mask, formulated with a proprietary blend of barrier lipids to enhance hydration, stop destructive inflammation and reduce redness to rejuvenate dull, sallow-looking skin
• Wear sunscreen daily; Epionce sunscreens combine anti-inflammatory properties plus broad-spectrum UV protection
• Renewal Body products provide the correct amount of hydration needed for the unique skin on the body and extremities to prevent drying and uneven skin tone
