As the seasons change, so should your skincare routine. Spring is the perfect time to refresh your beauty regimen, ditch old habits, and embrace new, effective practices to keep your skin healthy and glowing. Just as we declutter our homes, it’s time to spring clean our skincare routine and give our skin the fresh start it deserves. Here’s how to do it!

1. Declutter Your Skincare Collection

Before adding anything new to your routine, start by taking inventory of your current products. Check expiration dates, discard anything that’s past its prime, and get rid of items that you no longer use or that have been causing irritation. Expired products can harbor bacteria and lose their effectiveness, so a clean slate is essential.

2. Lighten Up Your Moisturizer 

Winter calls for heavy, hydrating creams, but spring’s milder weather means you can swap out rich moisturizers for lightweight, water-based formulas. Our Face The Hydration face moisturizer is just what your spring skin care routine needs! Rich in omega 3 & 6 fatty acids, it delivers 24 hours of moisture and is great for day and night use!

3. Switch to a Lighter Cleanser 

If you’ve been using a heavy, creamy cleanser for winter, consider switching to a gentle foaming or gel cleanser for spring.This helps remove excess oil and sweat without stripping the skin of essential moisture. Our Grace Hydrating Cleanser is infused with rich proteins and amino acids that easily absorb into the skin. 

4. Never Skip Sunscreen

Sunscreen is a year-round essential, but with longer, sunnier days ahead, it’s time to be extra diligent. Choose a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher and make it a non-negotiable step in your morning routine. Our Zinc Block is the perfect light weight formula that absorbs quickly and sit well under makeup.

5. Introduce Antioxidants

Spring is the perfect time to incorporate antioxidant-rich serums like Vitamin C into your routine. These can help brighten your skin, fight environmental damage, and even out your skin tone. The G’night N’Brighten will be your go to if you need a new serum! With rose hip, Vitamin C and essential fatty acids, this will moisturize, firm your skin, and lighten hyperpigmentation.

6. Hydrate from Within

With the change in seasons, it’s crucial to stay hydrated. Increase your water intake and incorporate hydrating foods like cucumber, watermelon, and leafy greens into your diet. Well-hydrated skin starts from within!

7. Out With the Bad Habits

Spring is a time of renewal, so say goodbye to skincare mistakes like sleeping in makeup, skipping SPF, and over-exfoliating. Replace these habits with healthier alternatives that promote long-term skin health.

8. Refresh Your Makeup and Tools

Spring cleaning extends beyond skincare—wash your makeup brushes, replace old beauty sponges, and toss expired makeup products. Clean tools prevent breakouts and ensure your products apply smoothly.

9. Embrace a Minimalist Approach

Sometimes, less is more. Instead of piling on too many products, stick to a simple yet effective routine with quality ingredients tailored to your skin’s needs. Spring is all about renewal and letting your natural glow shine through.

By making these simple changes, your skin will be refreshed, radiant, and ready to take on the new season. Happy spring cleaning!
