30 May Spring Skin Reset: Solutions for Seasonal Skin Struggles
Spring is a season of renewal—but your skin doesn’t always get the memo right away. The shift from winter’s dry air to spring’s rising humidity, longer days, and increased sun exposure can trigger a whole new wave of skin concerns. It’s not uncommon to feel like your complexion is a little off in those in-between months—flaky yet oily, dull but breaking out, or simply unpredictable.
At RefinedMD, we understand that seasonal transitions require more than just switching your moisturizer. Your skin behaves differently as the environment changes, and that means your treatments should, too. Spring is the perfect time to hit reset with professional, in-office options that clear, hydrate, and rejuvenate—prepping your skin for the glow and warmth of summer.
Why Spring Affects Your Skin
Winter is harsh. Heaters, dry air, and long months of bundled-up hibernation often leave skin parched, dull, and in desperate need of exfoliation. But as temperatures rise and moisture returns to the air, your skin can overcorrect—producing more oil, clogging pores, and breaking out. You’re also suddenly getting more UV exposure, which can stir up dormant hyperpigmentation or deepen sun spots from previous years.
The result? Skin that’s confused, congested, and craving balance. Here are the most common spring skin concerns we see—and the in-office treatments we recommend to support your skin through the transition.
- Post-Winter Dullness and Dehydration
After months of dry air and heavy moisturizers, many patients come in describing their skin as “flat,” “rough,” or “tired.” This isn’t just about hydration—it’s about buildup. When dead skin cells linger on the surface, your glow dims and your products can’t penetrate.
Recommended Treatment: DiamondGlow
DiamondGlow is a three-in-one powerhouse treatment that exfoliates, extracts, and infuses the skin in a single session. Using a real diamond-tipped wand, it gently resurfaces while delivering customized SkinMedica serums into freshly cleaned pores. It’s ideal for spring because it clears the buildup of winter without irritating sensitive, transitional skin—and the results are immediate: skin looks brighter, smoother, and deeply refreshed.
- Seasonal Breakouts
Many people experience more acne in the spring. As sweat increases and oil production ramps up, pores become more susceptible to clogging. Combine that with leftover congestion from winter and you’ve got the perfect storm for spring breakouts.
Recommended Treatment: BBL HERO Acne or MOXI
BBL HERO isn’t just for sun spots—it also has a setting specifically designed to combat active acne and inflammation. This targeted broadband light kills acne-causing bacteria and reduces redness, helping to calm existing breakouts and prevent future ones.
For patients with post-acne discoloration or textural concerns, MOXI offers a gentle laser option that smooths and evens tone without irritation or downtime.
- Uneven Tone and Hyperpigmentation
Pigmentation is often dormant during winter, only to resurface once UV rays start getting stronger. Spring is when many patients start noticing the return of freckles, sun spots, or melasma—even if they’ve been diligent about SPF.
Recommended Treatment: BBL HERO + Clear + Brilliant
BBL HERO is one of the most effective light-based treatments for addressing brown spots and uneven tone. It breaks up pigmentation at the source, gradually restoring clarity and balance to your complexion. For those dealing with melasma or more diffuse discoloration, Clear + Brilliant (specifically the Perméa setting) can target pigment gently and safely—especially for patients with darker skin tones or sensitivity.
- Enlarged Pores and Rough Texture
As your skin rebalances with the change in temperature and humidity, you might notice more visible pores or a rough surface texture. This isn’t just cosmetic—enlarged pores can trap oil and bacteria, leading to more breakouts and inflammation.
Recommended Treatment: Clear + Brilliant or Chemical Peels
Clear + Brilliant resurfaces the skin at a cellular level, refining texture and reducing pore size with each session. It also enhances skin tone and encourages healthy turnover, making it a great choice for spring skin renewal.
Chemical peels—particularly light to medium-strength options—can also help shed that winter layer and reveal smoother skin underneath, prepping your face for a more even, radiant glow as summer approaches.
- General Skin Confusion
If your skin feels like it’s flip-flopping between dryness and oiliness, or if you’re unsure where to even begin, you’re not alone. Seasonal shifts can be unpredictable—and sometimes what you need most is an expert eye.
