As the seasons shift and temperatures climb, it’s the perfect time to reset your skincare routine. Warmer weather brings changes in humidity, sun exposure and oil production, meaning what worked in winter might not cut it in spring or summer. Whether you’re recovering from dry, winter-worn skin or prepping for the humidity ahead, refreshing your routine with skin-balancing staples like witch hazel can keep your complexion clear, calm and glowing.
Here are three easy ways to spring-clean your skincare and the T.N. Dickinson’s products that make it effortless.
1. Do a skincare audit
The first step in any seasonal refresh is to take stock of what you’re currently using. Some questions to ask yourself:
- Are my products still working?
- Is my skin feeling different than it did a few months ago?
- Could any ingredients be clogging my pores or irritating my skin in the warmer weather?
Thicker moisturisers and heavy cleansers that felt nourishing in winter might now be too rich, leading to congestion or shine. Likewise, some foaming cleansers or exfoliants might be too harsh for skin that’s already sensitised from sun exposure.
Tip: Swap heavy creams for lighter gels and look for hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid to maintain moisture without clogging your pores.
2. Re-introduce toner (or use it differently)
Toner often gets overlooked, but it can be your secret weapon for balanced, happy skin, especially during seasonal changes. A good toner helps rebalance your skin post-cleansing, preps it for the next steps and delivers targeted benefits depending on your skin’s needs.
Here’s how to find your perfect match:
- For oily or blemish-prone skin: Try the T.N. Dickinson’s 100% Natural Witch Hazel Toner. Made with clinical grade USP witch hazel and nothing else, this classic formula gently removes excess oil, refines pores and helps reduce shine, without stripping the skin.
- For dry or sensitive skin: The Alcohol-Free Witch Hazel Moisturising Toner is your go-to. Enriched with aloe vera, hyaluronic acid, vitamin E and rosewater it tones while hydrating and soothing. Perfect if your skin is still recovering from winter dryness or feels sensitive from environmental stress.
New season, new use: Try misting toner throughout the day for a cooling refresh or apply with a cotton pad in the morning to sweep away overnight buildup. Toners aren’t just a morning/evening step – they’re a multi-use staple for all-day freshness.
3. Use toner for more than just toning
Witch hazel toner isn’t just for the classic cleanse-tone-moisturise routine. It’s one of the most versatile skincare products you can own.
Here are a few ways to use it outside the usual steps:
- After a face mask: Clay or detoxifying masks are great for drawing out impurities, but they can also leave your skin feeling a little raw. Patting on some witch hazel toner afterwards can help calm and rebalance.
- Targeted spot treatment: Dab the 100% Natural Witch Hazel Toner on blemishes to assist with reducing redness and maintain hydration without the harshness of synthetic alcohol-based formulas.
- Scalp refresher: Greasy roots between washes? Witch hazel toner can help refresh your scalp and reduce buildup. Just dab it on with a cotton pad or use a spray bottle to lightly mist the area and blot away.
On the go? Try the T.N. Dickinson’s Witch Hazel Cleansing Pads – they’re pre-soaked, travel-friendly and great for gym bags, handbags or glove compartments. Perfect for wiping down post-workout, removing makeup or giving your skin a midday reset during hot, humid days.
