Spring is officially in the air as we finally welcome the Spring Equinox! The days are slowly getting longer, and if you’ve been paying attention, you might have noticed that flowers are starting to bud and bloom. And let’s be honest, we, too, are emerging from our winter hibernation, but not without dull skin and visible dryness.
Hey, it happens! That’s just what winter does. I don’t know about you, but winter makes us focus on cozying up and staying warm rather than…glowing up!
Now that spring is here, it’s time to shed those layers of both our heavy clothes and dull winter skin and refresh our skincare routine to match the seasonal shift.
We think the Spring Equinox is the perfect time to hit the reset button on your routine. It’s all about prepping your skin, bringing back the radiance, and starting fresh this season.
Sound like a plan? Keep reading because we’re diving into how to reset your routine for spring!
The Spring Skincare Mindset Shift
For those with ultra-dry or sensitive skin, winter is all about heavy-duty hydration and ultimate protection from the cold. We become obsessed with thick butters, layering moisturizers, nourishing oils, and anything that shields our skin from freezing winds and dehydrating indoor heating.
But once spring arrives, EVERYTHING changes. Warmer temperatures mean our winter go-to products suddenly feel too heavy. Instead, it’s time to shift towards lighter textures, more exfoliation, and refreshing ingredients to prep for sunnier days ahead!
Want to know what to swap, tweak, and add? Here’s your go-to spring skincare checklist!
1. Time to Lighten Up
When the clocks spring forward, it’s a sign your skincare needs to do the same! You don’t need to switch everything overnight, especially if you still have chilly days ahead, but moving towards lighter, breathable products will help your skin adapt to the new season.
Swap thick body balms for lightweight lotions that let your skin breathe.
✨ Try this: The Lotion is a perfect full-body swap, it keeps skin soft without overwhelming it in the spring heat!
2. Exfoliation Is Your Best Friend
Don’t get us wrong, we hope you’ve been exfoliating through the winter! But with extra dryness and sensitivity, you might have gone easy on it. Now? It’s time to turn up the dial!
That dull winter buildup? Say goodbye when you exfoliate 2-3 times a week. You’ll see an instant glow as your radiance returns!
✨ Try this: Our Facial Scrub is fantastic for your face, neck, chest, lips, hands, elbows, and even knees because head-to-toe glow is the goal for spring!
3. Springtime Ingredients to Love
Want to embrace the seasonal shift fully? Look for skincare with refreshing, renewing ingredients that help you glow from the inside out.
Spring-approved ingredients we love:
Aloe Vera – Soothes & hydrates
Rose Hydrosol – Calms & refreshes
Witch Hazel Extract – Balances & tones
✨ Try this: Either of our toners make a fabulous addition to your spring routine! Choose the Facial Toner for a refreshing boost or the Rose Toner to bring the essence of roses and spring directly to your skin!
