As the snow melts and the days grow longer in Farmington Hills, Northville, Novi, West Bloomfield, and Birmingham, Michigan, it’s the perfect time to refresh your skincare routine. Winter can leave your skin feeling dry and dull, but spring offers an opportunity to rejuvenate your complexion and embrace the season with confidence. Dr. David Baird of Farmington Dermatology is here to guide you through the best treatments and tips for glowing skin this spring.

Rejuvenate Your Skin After Winter

Winter weather often leads to dryness and flakiness due to low humidity and indoor heating. Start your spring skincare journey with gentle exfoliation to remove dead skin cells and reveal fresh skin beneath. Treatments like chemical peels or Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) Therapy can help improve skin texture and reduce pigmentation caused by winter conditions.

Hydration is also key—switch to a lightweight moisturizer that locks in moisture without clogging pores as temperatures rise.

Smooth Out Wrinkles with Botox

Spring is an excellent time to address fine lines and wrinkles that may have become more pronounced during the winter months. Botox is a popular treatment that relaxes facial muscles to smooth out dynamic wrinkles like crow’s feet and frown lines. With Dr. Baird’s expertise, you can achieve a refreshed and youthful appearance just in time for the new season. Treatments can last for up to 6 months, depending on your age, injection sites, and the amount of times you’ve had the treatment already.

Tackle Seasonal Acne

Warmer weather can trigger acne breakouts due to increased oil production and sweat. Your skin type, tone, and texture will cause a variance in the best treatment for your specific needs. Many patients can benefit from Intense Pulsed Light Therapy, though fair-skinned patients will be better candidates for this treatment as it targets pigmentation within the skin. To treat acne scars, most patients would be good candidates for treatments such as chemical peels or Morpheus8. The best way to know the right treatment plan for your skin is to schedule a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon, like Dr. Baird.

Protect Your Skin from Spring Sun

As outdoor activities increase in spring, so does exposure to harmful UV rays. Protecting your skin is crucial for preventing premature aging and reducing the risk of skin cancer. Dr. Baird recommends using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher daily and reapplying every two hours when outdoors.

Regular skin checks are also essential for early detection of any abnormalities. Dr. Baird has decades of experience diagnosing, treating, and preventing skin cancer in patients all throughout the eastern part of Michigan. Be sure to regularly check your skin for any new or changing dark spots, and consult with a specialist right away if you see any concerning areas on your skin.
