Keiko Suyama's recommendations for spring

Les recommendations de Keiko Suyama pour le printemps

Spring is a transitional season: the air becomes drier, UV rays intensify, pollen is everywhere... and our skin feels it. It becomes more fragile, sensitive, and prone to imbalance. Here are the keys to adapting your skincare routine and getting through the season beautifully.

1. Protect and Repair the Skin Barrier

Why?

In spring, the skin's barrier function weakens. It becomes more permeable to external aggressors such as pollution, pollen, and UV rays. Strengthening it is essential to maintain healthy, comfortable, and radiant skin.

Key Ingredients:

  • Ceramides: strengthen the protective barrier
  • Hyaluronic Acid & Sacran: deep hydration
  • Collagen: supports firmness

Recommended Products:

Waphyto Regena Lotion Serum
Sacran, intense hydration
Eau de Ki Lotion
hydration & purification
REY Tokyo Dual-Energy Serum
water/oil balance, barrier function

2. Cleanse gently, yet effectively

Why?

In spring, pollen, dust, and sebum accumulate more easily. Proper cleansing helps remove these impurities without irritating the skin.

Key Tips:

  • Cleanse morning and night with a gentle foam or soap
  • Remove makeup thoroughly every day

Recommended Products:


3. Protect from UV Rays and Prevent Dark Spots

Why?

UVA rays, which are responsible for skin aging, are already strong at the beginning of spring. Daily protection, even moderate, is essential to prevent dark spots and dull complexion.

Recommendations:

  • Protect in the morning with SPF care
  • Treat dark spots and prevent melanin production
  • Repair in the evening with brightening ingredients

Key Ingredients:

  • Niacinamide – evens out the skin tone
  • Alpha-arbutin – blocks melanin synthesis

Recommended Products:

STAR LIGHT Brightening Serum
Yuzu + Arbutin + Niacinamide
SUN SHELTER SPF
Sunscreen – High Protection SPF50

3. Reduce Stress and Boost Circulation

Why?

Springtime stress can disrupt hormones, encourage dark spots, and weaken the skin. By stimulating blood circulation (especially the scalp), you can reduce stress, improve tissue oxygenation, and restore radiance.

Recommendations:

  • Scalp massage
  • Gentle stretching, walking, yoga
  • Thermal relaxation at the end of the day

Recommended Tools:

Scalp Brush KENZAN by uka
different intensities
Rebirth Serum for Scalp
medicinal plants
KOBAKO Brush

5. Move and Reconnect with Nature

Beyond skincare products, spring is a call to slow down, ground yourself, and breathe. Go for a walk, stretch, admire the blooming cherry blossoms... Your skin—and your mind—will thank you.

Take care of yourself, gently.
