As the seasons change and the days grow longer, your skin needs a fresh start too! The transition from winter to spring means shifting from heavy, ultra-hydrating routines to lighter, breathable skincare that keeps your skin balanced and glowing. At Peak Scents, we believe in supporting your skin naturally through these seasonal shifts. Here’s how you can transition your routine with some of our favorite plant-based skincare essentials.
1. Gentle Exfoliation for a Fresh Start
Shedding dry winter skin is essential for a radiant spring complexion. Our Konjac Sponge offers gentle exfoliation without stripping your skin, buffing away dullness to reveal a fresh glow. Safe for daily use, even on sensitive skin, with or without cleanser, our Konjac Sponge effectively cleans pores by lifting dirt, excess oil, and impurities, making it great for all skin types including acne prone. Infused with charcoal or turmeric for added detoxification, using a Konjac Sponge boosts circulation, encourages cell turnover and promotes skin renewal by gently stimulating blood flow for a healthy, glowing complexion. Crafted from the Konjac plant’s root, these eco-friendly sponges are biodegradable, compostable and 100% natural making it a sustainable skincare choice.
2. Balance and Hydrate with Rose Phyto³ Babchi Serum
Our plant-powered formula offers all the benefits of retinol—without the irritation—or the side effects. This retinol alternative is safe for pregnancy and sun exposure making it a must-have for the season.
With its silky, fast-absorbing texture, our Rose Phyto³ Babchi Serum is the perfect lightweight formula for spring, helping your skin stay balanced, hydrated, and radiant.
At the heart of this serum is 4% Bakuchiol, a clinically proven botanical extract from the Babchi plant that mimics the effects of retinol while being gentle on sensitive skin. It works in harmony with 4% Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) to brighten, even out skin tone, and refine pores, making it perfect for those seeking a youthful, luminous glow without the risk of redness or peeling.
To further enhance its skin-replenishing power, we've infused this serum with:
Organic Rosehip & Raspberry Seed Oils – Packed with antioxidants and essential fatty acids to nourish, protect, and improve elasticity
Hyaluronic Acid & Peptides – Deliver deep hydration, plump the skin, and support collagen production for a firm, smooth complexion
Alpine Rose & Organic Aloe – Soothing botanicals that calm inflammation and strengthen the skin barrier
Vitamin C & E – Potent antioxidants that brighten and protect against environmental stressors
The addition of essential oils of Rose, Geranium, Palmarosa, and Frankincense not only enhances skin renewal but also provides a luxurious, spa-like experience with every application.
3. Nourish and Protect with Facial Oils
While lightening up your skincare routine, reach for versatile oils! Unlike heavier creams, our Rose Phyto³ Facial Oil and Power Repair Skin Therapy Oil absorbs easily, balancing both dry and oily skin types, enhances skin elasticity, reducing the appearance of fine lines, and supports a healthy, luminous complexion. They lock in moisture and deliver essential nutrients to your skin. Layering products—starting with serum, followed by facial oil, and a light moisturizer—ensures your skin stays nourished and balanced as the weather shifts. Our Rose Phyto³ Facial Cream provides lightweight-yet-powerful essential moisture while absorbing easily, making it a great swap out for your winter cream. Spring is also a great time to switch from heavier body creams to easy wearing alternatives like the luxurious blend found in our Peak Scents Organic Body Oils.
4. Embrace the Sunshine
With increased sun exposure in spring, Vitamin C becomes an essential part of your skincare routine. It helps protect against environmental damage, brightens the complexion, and supports collagen production. Our Hyaluronic + C Serum contains ascorbyl palmitate, a non-irritating, fat-soluble form of vitamin C that is gentle on sensitive skin while still delivering powerful antioxidant benefits. Unlike traditional ascorbic acid, ascorbyl palmitate is more stable and less likely to cause irritation, making it ideal for daily use.
Of course as we spend more time outdoors, sun protection is more important than ever.
5. Face Masks for Detox and Replenishment
A weekly mask treatment can work wonders in bringing back your natural glow. Our Power Repair Fruit Enzyme Lift Mask harnesses the power of fruit-derived alpha hydroxy acids and enzymes to gently exfoliate, dissolve dead skin cells, and promote a brighter, more even complexion. Packed with papaya and pineapple enzymes, this mask boosts cell turnover, leaving your skin feeling smooth, refreshed, and radiant—just what you need after the months of cold and drying winter.
For skin that craves deep hydration and soothing care, our Almond Honey Clay Mask is a must-have. Pink kaolin clay provides gentle detoxification, drawing out impurities while maintaining essential hydration. Naturally rich in minerals, it helps to soothe sensitive skin, improve circulation, and promote a healthy glow. Infused with nourishing almond milk, antioxidant-rich honey, and calming aloe vera, this mask helps to restore moisture, reduce redness, and strengthen the skin barrier. Its rich, creamy texture delivers intense nourishment, making it the perfect post-winter treatment for dry or stressed skin.
6. Boost Your Glow with a Face Mist
Spring weather can be unpredictable, so keeping your skin balanced throughout the day is key. A quick spritz of our Rose Phyto³ Facial Mist or Power Repair Face Mist hydrates, soothes, and refreshes your skin, whether you’re at home, in the office, or out adventuring.
Spring Forward with Radiant Skin
Making small adjustments to your skincare routine can help your skin transition smoothly from winter to spring. By incorporating lighter hydration, gentle exfoliation, and sun protection, you’ll keep your skin healthy, glowing, and ready for the sunny days ahead.
