Summer Glow: How to Transition Your Skincare

Posted by Sarah Bacon on

Spring and early Summer in New Zealand marks the perfect time to shift your skincare from cold-weather care to warm-weather readiness. Winter often leaves skin dry, flaky, or dull, so the goal in spring is to restore vitality, lock in hydration, and prepare for the challenges of summer.

Here’s how to make a seamless transition:

1. Lighten Your Moisturiser

Winter skincare often relies on rich creams to combat dryness. As humidity rises, heavy textures can feel suffocating. Switch to a lighter moisturiser that still delivers nourishment without clogging pores.
👉 Velettà Nourishing Moisturiser, enriched with avocado and argan oils, provides lasting hydration in a featherlight finish.

2. Exfoliate Away Winter Build-Up

Dead skin cells can accumulate during winter, leaving skin looking grey and uneven. Exfoliation is the fastest way to restore radiance. Choose a formula with AHA lactic acid or salicylic acid to gently resurface and refine.
👉 Velettà Youthful Glow AHA Radiance Treatment smooths, brightens, and resets your skin.

3. Double Down on Antioxidants

Spring means more time outdoors, which brings more UV exposure and environmental stressors. Antioxidants are crucial for protecting collagen and maintaining an even tone.
👉 Velettà Bioactive Illuminating Serum is rich in plant-based antioxidants to shield and revive your complexion.

4. Hydrate From the Inside Out

Skin hydration isn’t just about topical products. With warmer weather, it’s easy to become dehydrated, which shows up as tired, dull skin. Drink plenty of water, add hydrating foods like cucumbers and berries, and pair these with a topical hydrator.
👉 Velettà Youthful Glow Intensive Hydrating Treatment offers a surge of moisture for thirsty skin.

5. Refresh the Eye Area

Late nights, pollen, and sunshine can leave eyes looking tired. A targeted eye cream helps reduce puffiness and smooth fine lines.
👉 Velettà Revitalise Eye Cream restores brightness and firmness.

6. Prioritise Sun Protection

SPF is non-negotiable in spring and summer. Make sunscreen your final skincare step every morning and reapply when outdoors.


Takeaway: Transitioning your skincare from winter to summer is about balancing nourishment with protection. By swapping textures, introducing exfoliation, and leaning on antioxidants, you’ll enjoy a healthy, luminous glow right through to the warmer months.
