Winter to Spring Skincare: How Dr Olivia McCormack Switches Her Routine
As the weather warms, the products that carried you through winter can start to feel heavy and unnecessary. Dr Olivia McCormack of Wellface explains how she adjusts her own routine for spring, from swapping to a lighter cleanser and moisturiser to reapplying SPF and gradually bringing back stronger active ingredients, with the reasoning behind each change.

If you're using the same skincare all year round, you're doing it wrong. I'm Dr Olivia, dentist and practitioner here at Wellface, and this is what I'm doing to change my skincare routine from winter into spring. Already, I've changed from my creamy cleanser to something more gel and lighter weight-based.
This is my favourite all year round, to be honest with you, but especially now, something more lightweight to remove excess oils, bacteria and makeup. We love it. Next up, I'm changing my moisturiser.
So we don't need any more that deep hydration, heavy, heavy products are no longer needed. Something more lightweight, something that's really just going to give you that nourishment to the skin, hyaluronic acid base, but really light in consistency, perfect for the sunnier weather. I'm also, of course, always reapplying my SPF.
So when we're outside, guys, the sun is shining, we must be reapplying our SPF. We should be using that all year round, but more so now than ever, get used to that reapplication, please, to protect your skin from the sun and pigmentation as well that we've worked all year round to treat. And lastly, winter sometimes calls for us to pull back on our active ingredients.
And now that the weather's changing, now's the time to up those things again. So introducing your stronger exfoliants, your active vitamin A, for instance, that's what I'm doing this time of year to get myself summer ready. Thank you.
