Ever looked in the mirror in May and thought, “Why does my skin still look like winter?” You’re not alone. In Canada, May is when we finally shake off the cold, dry air—but our skin and hair often need help catching up. As the season changes, so should your beauty routine.
At Allure by Harp, we believe that beauty starts with simple, intentional care. Whether you’re dealing with dry skin, dull hair, or just a lack of glow, these five tips will help you feel like you again—just in time for spring blossoms and longer sunny days.
1. Exfoliate—Gently but Consistently
Months of indoor heat and dry air can leave your skin looking lifeless. In May, gentle exfoliation is your secret weapon to remove winter buildup and make room for radiance. Just don’t overdo it—2–3 times a week is plenty.
Want a deeper clean with zero guesswork? Try our HydraFacial MD® for instant hydration and a radiant glow.

2. SPF: Your Skin’s Daily Shield
Canadian May weather can be deceiving—cool breezes mixed with powerful UV rays. Don’t let mild temperatures fool you. Sunscreen is a must, even on cloudy days.
🧴 Use an SPF 30+ daily—even under makeup.
“Protecting your skin today is the ultimate investment in your future face.”
3. Hydration: Water Isn’t Enough
May air is still dry in many parts of Canada, and your skin needs a little extra TLC. Switch to lighter moisturizers for the warmer months, and don’t forget to lock in hydration with serums or professional treatments.
Want that next-level dewy glow? Our microneedling service can do wonders.

4. Don’t Ignore Your Scalp
Seasonal hair shedding is real—especially after months of dry air and beanie weather. If you’re seeing more hair in your brush this spring, you’re not alone.
💆♀️ Our TED Hair & Scalp Therapy is non-invasive, needle-free, and perfect for restoring strength and volume where it matters most.

5. Update Your Makeup Routine
Canadian spring means layering—yes, even in your beauty look. Say goodbye to full-coverage matte finishes and hello to fresh, breathable makeup. Think creamy textures, flushed cheeks, and that lit-from-within glow.
