Hello, spring! Well….almost. This season inspires a fresh start. It’s the perfect time for decluttering our homes, reorganizing our spaces, and embracing new beginnings. But have you thought about giving your beauty routine a bit of spring cleaning, too?

Say goodbye to the heaviness of winter. Hello lightness of spring. Your skincare, makeup, and body care deserve a refresh, also. Let’s clear out the clutter, make room for radiance, and step into the new season with a glow! And we can get it done together in 6 easy steps.

1. Out with the Old: Declutter Your Beauty Collection

When was the last time you checked the condition of your skincare and makeup? Old products can lose their effectiveness and may even house bacteria! Toss anything expired, dried out, or products you haven’t used in over a year. Did you know that your mascara should be replaced every three months? For savings and convenience, purchase your mascara with the subscription plan. You’ll never have to think about it again. Every three months, a new wand will be delivered to your door.

While you’re at it, give your makeup brushes, sponges, and beauty tools a good cleanse. Clean tools = happy, healthy skin! Otherwise, you’re at risk of developing acne.

2. Refresh Your Skincare for the Season

Your skin’s needs change with the weather. Harsh winter winds, cold temperatures, and use of heaters required heavy winter creams. They can now be swapped for lighter, hydrating formulas that let your skin breathe.

If you’re using the JAFRA brand, little to no adjustments will be necessary. However, if you’re using the Revitalize Longevity Creme, you may want to experiment with the Revitalize Longevity Balm for spring/summer. Or use the balm during the day and the creme in the evening.

If your complexion has been looking dull, a gentle exfoliation will help slough off winter’s dryness and reveal that fresh spring glow. And don’t forget SPF—longer days mean more sun exposure. Your skin will thank you for the extra protection! Remember, skin goes beyond the face. Include body sunscreen, as well.

3. Clean and Organize: Your Beauty Spring Cleaning

Is your beauty counter overflowing with half-used products? It’s time to clear, clean, and organize! Wipe down your bathroom shelves, clean out your makeup bag, and rearrange your beauty must-haves so they’re easy to find. A clutter-free space makes your daily routine more efficient. You can put the darker colors aside for now.

4. Lighten Up Your Makeup Look

Speaking of darker colors. Spring is all about soft, fresh, and glowing beauty! I like to switch out foundations for a lightweight skin glow face cream. But when I want the professional makeup look, I stick with the light-weight, buildable Royal Radiance Foundation. Play with soft pastels and floral-inspired makeup shades for eyeshadow. Or my fave, beach-inspired hues. And don’t forget to check your lipsticks. This is the perfect time to switch darker winter hues for a fresh, fun spring color!

5. Refresh Your Fragrance and Body Care

Your winter body care might need an update, too! Switch to lighter, uplifting fragrances—think florals, citrus, or fresh, clean scents. Treat your skin to an exfoliating body scrub, a silky moisturizer, and of course, SPF for those outdoor adventures. While you’re at it, check your everyday essentials. Deodorants, shower gels, and lotions, hair care products need to be fresh, too.

6. Simplify with Smart Beauty Choices

Spring is a great time to streamline your routine. Think multi-purpose products, fresh formulations, and clean beauty options. Before buying something new, take inventory of what you really need—choosing wisely means less waste and more intentional beauty! Afterall, we are called to be good stewards of our money.
