Spring has officially sprung in Notting Hill. You’ve swapped your chunky knits for lighter layers, moved your workouts back outdoors, and maybe even ordered your first iced coffee of the season (we won’t judge if it was in March). But have you thought about your Spring skincare routine?
As the seasons change, so do your skin’s needs. At Young LDN, we’re here to help you make the shift smoothly and scientifically. Our experts break down exactly why transitioning skincare is important in spring/summer, what you should be using, and how our bespoke treatments can take your glow from “meh” to “model-off-duty.”
Spring is that magical time when your skin starts acting… different. The cold, dry winter air has retreated, replaced by rising humidity, warmer temperatures, and longer days spent in the sun. While this can feel dreamy for your mood, it’s not always smooth sailing for your skin.
Think of your skincare routine like your wardrobe—you wouldn’t wear your puffer coat to a rooftop brunch, right? Your skin deserves the same seasonal consideration.
Spring weather is unpredictable (we’re looking at you, London drizzle followed by blazing sun). These skincare staples are like your skin’s own personal weather shield—helping to balance, protect, and prep your face for the season ahead.
More than just an SPF. This one’s packed with brightening agents to keep pigmentation at bay while giving your skin a hydration hit. Ideal for city dwellers and sun-seekers alike.
If you’re all about multitasking, this is your ride-or-die. It gives broad-spectrum UV protection, primes your skin like a dream, and delivers a demi-matte finish. Perfect for those makeup-optional days.
This gentle cleanser feels like a warm hug for your skin. It removes excess oil, dead skin cells, and environmental grime—without disturbing your microbiome.
Say goodbye to winter dullness. This award-winning scrub uses ultra-fine magnesium crystals to reveal smoother, more radiant skin, instantly.
Think of this as your skin’s overnight security guard. This potent antioxidant serum works while you sleep to repair and strengthen the skin barrier, giving you a fresh start every morning.
Looking to level up your glow this season? Here are our top aesthetician-approved tips to protect, perfect, and simplify your routine this spring:
The sun is stronger now—even in cloudy London. Switching to a high-protection SPF 50 gives your skin a fighting chance against UV-related pigmentation and premature ageing.
Antioxidants like Vitamin C are your skin’s shield against environmental stress. They help prevent sun damage, even out tone, and supercharge your SPF. Look for one with a stable formulation and use it every morning.
Heavier creams can suffocate your skin as humidity rises. Trade rich winter textures for lightweight hydrators or gel-based moisturisers to avoid congestion.
Gentle exfoliation helps clear out dead skin and winter buildup, but go easy—especially if your skin is already sensitised. 2–3 times a week is plenty with something like ZO Exfoliating Polish.
Even oily or breakout-prone skin needs hydration. Use a hyaluronic acid serum under your moisturiser or SPF to keep skin plump and balanced.
Your products will work even better when your skin is professionally prepped. Treatments like our YL Bespoke to You, Fire & Ice, or Hollywood Carbon Spectra Peel are perfect for clearing congestion, boosting glow, and refining skin texture.
Your neck, chest, and hands are just as vulnerable to sun damage. Extend your skincare (especially SPF!) to these areas daily.
Home routines are vital—but nothing beats professional skin treatments when it comes to fast-tracking your results. Here are the Young LDN favourites that are perfect for spring skincare transitions:
Our signature service is designed around you. Whether your skin needs decongestion, hydration, or a brightening boost, we’ll hand-pick the right tools and products to deliver results. Think LED, cryotherapy, ultrasonic, oxygen infusion and more—tailored to your skin’s specific spring needs.
Nicknamed the “Instagram filter facial” for good reason, this gentle laser treatment is ideal for refining pores, evening skin tone, and kickstarting your skin’s renewal process. Great for post-winter pigmentation or dullness.
A celeb favourite for a reason. This two-phase resurfacing treatment blends fire (glycolic acid) with ice (cooling hydration) to instantly smooth, plump, and brighten—no downtime, just that red-carpet glow.
