With spring just around the corner, here’s how to refresh your skincare routine for the new season, as recommended by our #legend100s

“My focus in spring is sun protection and maintaining an even complexion. Beauty of Joseon’s Rice + Probiotics SPF applies beautifully and feels moisturising enough for daily wear. The Panthecell Cica Cream Mist is perfect for hydration touch-ups throughout the day. I’ve also been using VT Cosmetics’ PDRN Capsule Cream to maintain that clear, glass-skin finish. The Ordinary’s salicylic acid is something I use on rough areas or as a gentle nightly exfoliant. It helps make-up sit better the next morning and supports long-term blemish prevention. I also love the ReFa Fine Bubble shower head, which makes a noticeable difference to both scalp cleansing and overall skin condition.”

“With the recent shifts in weather, my skin has become especially sensitive and my rosacea has been flaring up, so I’ve simplified my routine as much as possible. I alternate between my trusted Cetaphil Foaming Cleanser and the Dr. Althea Green Relief Amino Gel Cleanser, followed by the Dr. Althea 345 Relief Cream. I also swear by Rhode’s Glazing Milk. It’s light, soothing and perfect for sensitive skin, and finish with Cetaphil’s Calming Moisturiser. What I’ve learnt recently is that if your skin is sensitive, it’s best not to overcomplicate things.”

“With the arrival of spring in Hong Kong, my skin has been craving lighter, brighter care, so I’ve been keeping my routine fresh and simple to match the season. I use the Clé de Peau Concentrated Brightening Serum. It gives such a beautiful glow without feeling heavy and perfect for these brighter days. For extra pampering, I choose between the Lumi Cica Calming Moisture Mask and the La Mer Treatment Lotion Hydrating Mask. They both feel like a mini spa moment that soothes and hydrates instantly. Sunscreen is a must for me, and I’ve been loving the Avène one lately because it’s lightweight, non-greasy, and I apply it every single day, even when I’m mostly indoors or the sky is overcast. Lately I’ve also been dipping into PDRN after my cousin brought back some treasures from Korea! I’m trying the Medicube PDRN Pink Peptide Serum and it’s still early days, but the plumpness is promising. And for the nights, I finish with a thin layer of La Mer Eye Cream to gently tackle those fine lines, though I also love the Drunk Elephant Eye Serum which is super light and refreshing for spring.”

“Hong Kong’s spring can swing between dry and humid, so I gravitate towards products that hydrate without feeling heavy. The Caudalie VinoHydra Moisturising Mask is my go-to whenever my skin feels tight, keeping it soft and supple. The Premier Cru Eye Cream brightens and smooths without being overly rich – especially helpful during busy periods. I reapply protection throughout the day with the Vinosun SPF50 stick, which is invisible, non-sticky and ideal for humid weather. For daily care, I layer the Premier Cru Cream and Serum which they are both lightweight yet nourishing. They can keep my skin balanced and resilient through the seasonal transition.”

“In spring, I prefer lightweight layers that still offer proper repair and support. The AP Beauty Dual Repair Lift Cream is light yet nourishing, helping maintain firmness as the weather shifts. Grown Alchemist’s Skin Renewal Toner is my quick hydration boost between studio sessions and meetings. After late nights, I turn to the Biodance Bio-Collagen-Real Deep Mask to restore glow, and the CurrentBody LED Mask is key to maintaining long-term skin stability. I finish with a rose quartz gua sha ritual. Just a simple massage to boost circulation and reduce puffiness.”
