How to Spring Clean Your Skin

Spring is here and cleaning is on our minds. While we love clearing the clutter from our houses, there’s one feeling that we love even more — the feeling of clean, glowing skin. So before you start dusting the curtains and donating items to charity, make time for self-care.

Winter weather is harsh on skin, leading to a lot of dryness and irritation. If you’re wanting to shake off those winter blues and freshen up your face for spring, follow these simple skincare solutions.

Get a Deeper Cleanse

The key to any successful skin regimen is clean skin. If you’re looking to revive dull skin, dedicate time for deep cleaning. Ultrasonic skin scrubbing is an excellent way to improve your skin’s appearance.

Ultrasonic tools unclog pores, exfoliate dead skin, improve skin tone, infuse serums for better skin absorption, and polish and revitalize the skin. Basically, ultrasonic does everything needed to prep the skin for other products and to improve overall appearance. Who doesn’t want that?

Moisturize Like There’s No Tomorrow

While the harsh weather may be easing up, you want to keep moisturizing your skin so it stays healthy. The benefits of moisturizing are seemingly endless. Moisturizers keep your skin plump and firm, fighting off wrinkles.

They balance out issues like dryness or oiliness. They can reduce the appearance of blemishes. They protect your pores from pollutants. These are just a few of the benefits, so make sure you don’t skip this step in your daily regimen.

Polish Your Skin Until It Shines

Want to make your skin really shine? Microdermabrasion is an amazing way to smooth and brighten your skin to restore a youthful glow. If you haven’t tried microdermabrasion yet, it’s a gentle way to remove the top layer of your skin. At-home microdermabrasion tools can deeply exfoliate, buff away rough patches, improve skin radiance, minimize pores, and tone and tighten skin.

The best part is that they only take minutes to use, letting you get back to your busy day. So if you’re searching for a simple way to get an instantly softer and smoother complexion, microdermabrasion is a great choice.

Stock Up on Sunscreen

One of the last — and maybe most important — parts of your skincare is protecting your skin. This is one that many people forget. It’s also easy to tell yourself that you’ll only be outside for a little bit, so you don’t need it.

But if you want to avoid skin damage, invest in a good SPF moisturizer (at least 30 SPF) that will keep your face hydrated while protecting it from harmful rays. As an added bonus, SPF also protects your skin from aging, so your skin can stay youthful.

Kiss Winter Goodbye

And take care of your lips. If you dealt with chapped lips during the bitter cold, now’s the time to treat them. Invest in a moisture-rich chapstick that provides deeper hydration. Some good ingredients to look for are cocoa butter, beeswax, or shea butter.

Spring Clean Your Skincare Routine for Glowing Skin

Spring is the perfect time to refresh your skincare routine and declutter those shelves. Start by sorting through your skincare products and checking expiration dates. Expired products lose their effectiveness and can cause breakouts or skin irritation. If a product looks like an open jar past its expiration date, it’s time to get rid of it. Old products, especially ones with active ingredients like retinol or niacinamide, can degrade over time. Decluttering also helps you streamline your beauty routine, leaving only the essentials that meet your skin's current needs.

Clean Your Makeup Brushes and Tools

Don’t forget to spring clean your beauty routine by focusing on your makeup brushes and sponges. These tools can harbor bacteria and oils, leading to skin issues like breakouts. Make it a habit to clean your brushes once a week with a gentle brush cleaner. This not only helps maintain clear skin but also extends the life of your brushes. Makeup brushes and skincare tools like sponges need regular cleaning to prevent the spread of germs. Plus, using clean brushes ensures that your makeup applies smoothly, giving you that radiant complexion you’re aiming for.

Revitalize with Lightweight, Hydrating Skincare Products

With warmer months ahead, consider swapping thick creams for lighter, water-based moisturizers containing hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid. Spring is also the perfect time to introduce soothing ingredients like panthenol and leaf extract into your skincare routine, addressing any lingering dryness from winter while preparing your skin for the season ahead. As you spring clean your skincare routine, focus on products that will hydrate and protect your skin without feeling heavy.

Don’t Forget the SPF!

Finally, as you’re spending more time outdoors, remember to apply sunscreen daily. Look for products with at least SPF 30 to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. Not only does this prevent sunburn, but it also shields your skin from signs of aging. Whether you’re using a dedicated sunscreen or a moisturizer with SPF, this is a must-have step for healthy, glowing skin all year round.
