Transition Your Skincare from Winter to Spring and Summer With E45

E45 shares six simple ways to help your skin stay healthy from winter to spring and summer.

1. Start with a Skincare Spring Clean

Not all skincare products last forever.¹ Before you make any changes to your skincare routine, take a moment to check expiry dates on all your products and throw out anything that smells off, has separated, or has been lurking in the back of the cupboard untouched for months. Don’t forget to have a look through your skincare tools and accessories – dirty brushes and sponges can cause acne breakouts, rashes, and skin infections.²

2. Choose a Light Moisturiser with SPF

As temperatures rise, your skin naturally produces more oil, which can cause breakouts or irritated bumps.^3a Swap buttery creams for lighter moisturisers that hydrate without clogging your pores.^3b Remember, it can take just 15 minutes in the sun for your skin to start burning and the damage caused is permanent, ⁴ so always use an SPF.  

E45 Daily Protect Moisturiser SPF 30 is a lightweight face cream for dry, sensitive, and eczema-prone skin.^5a It hydrates for 24 hours while protecting against sun damage and everyday environmental stress.^5b

3. Apply a Night Cream

While you sleep, your skin’s blood flow increases and cell regeneration is at its peak, making it the perfect time to boost hydration.  Night creams help by locking in moisture and creating a protective layer, so you wake up with soft, refreshed skin.⁶

E45 Face Night Cream is packed with moisturisers, emollients, and antioxidants to restore your skin barrier and lock in hydration without clogging pores.^7a It includes nourishing oils like macadamia, almond, jojoba, and shea butter, plus glycerine to help balance and rehydrate your skin overnight.^7b

4. Rethink Your Cleanser

Cleansers are designed to lift away dirt, oil, leftover makeup, and dead skin cells by breaking them down so they can be rinsed off. ^8a A good cleanser should do all of this gently, without damaging your skin or causing irritation. ^8b If your cleanser is causing your skin to feel tight, dry, or itchy after washing, it’s likely too harsh.^8c

The E45 Face Foaming Cleanser⁹ for everyday use is dermatologically testedand gentle on skin. Designed specifically for facial care, it’s perfect for dry, sensitive skin and even suitable for those prone to conditions like eczema and dermatitis.⁹

5. Keep Your Skin Hydrated Inside and Out

Hydration matters in summer too, but you might want to swap heavy creams for something lighter.^3b A skin serum isn’t the same as a moisturiser like a lotion or cream.^10a It’s a lightweight, fast-absorbing highly concentrated formulation that is designed to dive deep into your skin.^10b Serums are great for tackling common skin concerns associated with ageing.^10c

E45 Hydrating Face Serum¹¹ delivers, deep lasting hydration. An ideal moisturiser, it repairs the skin barrier, locks in moisture, and keeps skin healthy.¹¹

6. Don’t Ditch the Barrier Creams

Not every winter product needs to be packed away. Barrier creams and balms still have a role to play in tackling dry skin when the weather starts warming. Lips dry out easily because their skin is thinner and more sensitive^12a and without oil glands, they can’t stay moisturised like the rest of your skin.^12b

The E45 Lips & Dry Skin Balm¹³ provides targeted hydration, softening and nourishing dry, chapped lips and small dry skin areas. Suitable for use on your body, face, and hands, it’s perfect for the whole family. Enriched with lanolin, Vitamin E, and Beeswax, it helps lips and skin regenerate, leaving them smooth and comfortable.¹³

Your face isn’t the only thing that needs attention this season. E45’s range includes the fast-absorbing E45 Daily Care Hydrating Lotion,¹⁴ the deeply moisturising but lightweight E45 Daily Care Rich Lotion,¹⁵ and the E45 Moisturising Lotion,¹⁶ which helps protect against dryness, roughness, redness, and flaking.
