Created to be straightforward to replicate at home, the #SkinSpringing regime combines dermatologist-approved ingredients with facial massage methods, helping to recreate the advantages of a professional skin refresh without requiring costly treatments.
Dr Nora explains, “A seasonal skincare reset designed to support the skin barrier after winter stress, combining targeted skincare, internal nutritional support and techniques that stimulate circulation and skin renewal.
“During the colder months the skin barrier often becomes compromised due to low humidity, cold temperatures and indoor heating.

One products she reccomends is the Optimum Collagen Serum from Superdrug It’s a hardworking, science-backed serum built around a multi-tasking ingredient stack: plant-derived collagen amino acids, hyaluronic acid, polyglutamic acid, niacinamide, a stabilised vitamin C derivative, and Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38, a signal peptide that encourages the skin to ramp up its own collagen production. Together, they target the key markers of skin ageing: loss of firmness, dehydration, dullness and fine lines.
