Top ingredients that you should be looking for in your spring skin care routine are vitamins B, C, E, ferulic acid and retinol/vitamin A. For hydration, look for hyaluronic acid, ceramides and peptides and for sun protection, use SPF 30+. These ingredients can help treat and prevent specific skin concerns, as well as be proactive with others. They can help to keep your skin hydrated (we can always use extra hydration as the weather gets warmer), brighten and even your skin tone. Antioxidants can also help protect the skin from the harmful free radicals that are caused by the sun's UVA and UVB rays and would be a great addition to your springtime skin care.
As for the ingredients you want to steer clear of in the spring: parabens, mineral oil and anything with heavy fragrance as those ingredients can potentially clog pores, agitate the skin and cause breakouts
