Spring cleaning

Hello everyone!

Today is the first day of SPRING and it's officially spring cleaning season!

Spring cleaning is the practice of thoroughly cleaning a house in the springtime.  However, you don’t have to stop with cleaning your house; your skin care regimen needs some spring cleaning too.

1.  Spring cleaning is a great opportunity to clean out old beauty products.  Old products can harbour bacteria and lose their effectiveness.

Check the dates on your products and toss the following:

• Anything past the expiration date
• Products that have changed consistency, colour, or smell
• Mascara tubes older than three months
• Dry products
• Old make-up brushes and sponges
• Anything with an SPF older than one year 

2.  Spring is a good time for deep exfoliation.  Here are three DIY exfoliation recipes that will leave your skin ready for dresses and sandals:

Nourishing body scrub

Yummy facial scrub

Simple hand/body scrub

3.  Adjust your skin care routine to reflect the season.

• Higher temperatures result in oilier skin.  It’s important to use a lighter moisturiser during spring and summer.
• Use a lighter foundation and lighter, brighter make-up colours.
• Sunscreen is important all year, but it is essential in the spring and summer. 

I hope you find this helpful.  If you have more beauty tips for transitioning from winter to spring, leave them in the comment section.  

Happy first day of spring!
