Spring Skincare Tips: Our Skin vs. Humid Weather
April in Hong Kong brings with it unstable weather and spells of stifling humidity. When weather conditions zap between humid and dry, hot and chilly, our skin, unable to adapt, can grow sensitive and prone to oiliness, dryness, redness and other signs of irritation.
This is why adjusting our skincare regime in spring season is as delicate a move as it is crucial.
Spring Season Skincare Tip ① Gentle Cleansing
The warmer spring temperatures, coupled with the Hong Kong humidity, can aggravate sebum secretion, which is often accompanied by skin sensitivity caused by seasonal changes.
While heavier oil production might prompt the urge to give your face a thorough scrub, it's actually a better idea to go for mild cleanser formulas and avoid products with a heavy soap base, as excessive cleansing can damage your already sensitised skin barrier. Proper deep cleansing helps to improve your skin's absorption capability, doubling the effect of the skincare that follows.
Gentle Face Cleanser for Spring | Torhop Kaamos Black Salt Foaming Cleanser
This Torhop facial cleanser purifies pores with a formula of 35% New Zealand salt, which lathers into a black salt foam rich in minerals to absorb sebum and blackheads. And because our skin doesn't want to be left tight and stripped after a cleanse, the Kaamos cleanser is infused with a botanical blend of Finnish birch sap and 5 types of plant complexes to protect our natural moisture barrier.

Spring Season Skincare Tip ⑤ Don't forget sunscreen!
The sun may not be at its strongest during spring season, but as the days grow longer, the skin's exposure to sunlight and UV rays naturally increases.
