Dream Job
No matter your skin type, you’ve likely noticed that your skincare needs tend to evolve as the seasons tick by. That’s because external factors—especially temperature and humidity—affect the health and behavior of your dermis, and changes in your skin’s behavior can signal a need for a change in strategy. But you don’t have to overhaul your entire routine. One or two swaps are all you need to get your skin looking amazing again. And this season, the best beauty buys are available at Walmart. There, you can shop the picks that are best for your skin type without making a major dent in your baking account—a small miracle when it comes to your skin.
Below, find your spring skincare hero according to your skin type. Then, click on over to Walmart and add it to your cart. A springtime glow is well within reach.
If you’ve got dry skin…
While you may find your skin isn’t as dry in the spring and summer thanks to the uptick in humidity, you’re still going to want to make sure you’re exfoliating regularly. This bottle from Lancer Skincare uses microparticles to slough off dead skin, which allows your moisturizers to penetrate more deeply. Just make sure not to overdo it—exfoliating twice a week is more than enough to keep your skin happy.
If you’ve got oily skin…
It’s counterintuitive, we know, but even oily skin types need a moisturizer in the spring and summer. Why? Allowing your skin to dry out too much will actually cause it to overproduce oil. The trick is to find something lightweight and hydrating. The beauty of this moisturizer from By Terry is that it’s a gel formula made with hyaluronic acid, a powerful hydrator that also happens to be super lightweight.
If you’ve got acne-prone skin…
Warmer temps mean more sweat, which probably means more breakouts if you’re already acne-prone. The trick is to incorporate acne-fighting ingredients throughout your skincare routine. A gel cleanser is great to use 2 or 3 times a week to ensure your skin is being properly cleansed and treated. Mario Badescu’s is also incredibly gentle, which is a win-win.
If you’ve got combination skin…
The trick to keeping your combination skin looking fresh all season is simple: Make sure you’re giving it a deep cleanse at least twice a week. A facial cleansing device uses high-frequency vibrations to knock all the dirt and oil in your pores loose, leaving your skin squeaky-clean and prepped for the rest of your routine. It’s safe to use every day, too—especially if you find yourself extra sweaty in the spring.
If you’ve got sensitive skin…
Sensitive skin types tend to make out just fine in the spring, but a lightweight overnight cream can really help make sure you’re waking up with glowing skin. This one from Versed is lightweight and calming, making it excellent for sensitive skin types. Green tea helps to soothe, while coffee works to brighten, making this a true workhorse in your skincare routine.*
