Hello, Lovely!​
Spring is the perfect time for renewal—not just for your home but for your skincare routine, too! This Self-Care Saturday, let’s refresh, simplify and declutter our skincare routine. ✨
🌿 Step 1: Sort & Assess
Check your skincare products for expiration dates and if the texture has changed. Throw out anything you haven't used in a long time. Get rid of those things that are not useful for your skin anymore.
🌸 Step 2: Simplify ​
Keep the steps in your skincare routine that really benefit your skin and get rid of steps or products that are redundant or no longer necessary. Your refreshed routine might include a gentle cleanser, a hydrating toner, a nourishing facial oil, and a simple moisturizer. Less is more!
🧴 Step 3: Refresh Your Skincare Routine with Spring Ingredients​
Spring weather calls for ingredients that are lighter, hydrating, and refreshing. Switch heavy creams for aloe vera, rose water, cucumber hydrosol, or a floral-infused facial mist. Try creating your own DIY brightening serum with ingredients like rosehip oil and neroli to give your skin that springtime glow!
🌼 Step 4: Clean Your Beauty Tools ​
Give your beauty tools some attention. Wash your makeup brushes, clean your jars, bottles your storage space. Spray with a touch of lavender or citrus essential oil spray for a fresh, clean scent.
💛 Step 5: Create Your Own Self-Care Ritual​
Now that your skincare is decluttered and refreshed, you might like to a relaxing self-care ritual.
