Spring is in the air and summer is just around the corner. The change in season is definitely welcome. However, the warmer temperatures and higher levels of humidity make it necessary to change some of the beauty products you are using. Heavy creams and oily products can be retired and switched out for lighter products. I recently went shopping with this very purpose.
