Spring is in the air and it's time to shed the heavy layers of winter and embrace the light and fresh energy of spring. Just in the same way we spring clean our homes, we need to do the same thoughtful detox within our skincare routine to shed the remnants of winter and prepare our skin for the warmer months ahead. With these tips below, you achieve a healthy, glowing complexion that's ready to embrace the beauty of the season. Here's to radiant skin and a fresh start this spring.
Oil Cleanse Away Winter Build-Up:
- Winter weather, with its cold winds and dry indoor heating, can leave our skin feeling dull and dehydrated. Start your spring skincare detox by gently cleansing away the build-up of dead skin cells, excess oil, and impurities accumulated during the colder months. Oil cleansing is ideal for effectively removing dirt and debris without stripping the skin of its natural oils. Simply gently massage a cleansing oil or any of our carrier oils onto the face, and wipe away with a warm washcloth.
- Jojoba Oil: is a very versatile oil and can be used for any skin type and almost any skin issue and condition. It’s softening, soothing, anti-inflammatory and cleansing. Because of its amazing similarity to our own skin oils, Jojoba oil has the capability to encourage and support our skin to regain its natural balance.
- Sweet Almond Oil: Loaded with special essential fatty acids, Almond oil soothes the skin when it feels itchy and irritated, and can also help the skin repair itself.
- Fractionated Coconut Oil: is a very hydrating oil for skin. It doesn’t stain, won’t clog pores, and is very easily absorbed.
Dip into a Detox Bath
- Soaking in a nourishing bath filled with bath salts will not only ease your muscles and reduce stress – but the hot water also encourages you to sweat and gently eliminate toxins that are ready to be let go from past seasons. Further, our essential oil-infused bath salts bring the benefits and aroma of eucalyptus, lavender or grapefruit to your bath. These herbaceous aromas destress, relax or uplift your mind, while captivating salts relaxes your senses and nourishes your skin.
Exfoliate for Renewed Radiance:
- Exfoliation is key to sloughing off dead skin cells and revealing the fresh, radiant skin beneath. Incorporate a gentle exfoliant into your skincare routine 2-3 times a week to see softer, evenly toned, glowing skin. Our line of Sugar Scrubs contains an all-natural blends of essential oils paired with raw sugar cane and an indulgent blend of skin-loving ingredients that will give you the skin of your dreams.
Hydrate and Replenish:
- Hydration is essential for maintaining healthy, glowing skin year-round, but it's especially crucial as we transition into spring. Look to our carrier oils to nourish skin and properly hydrate skin or find your favorite hydrating moisturizer that replenishes lost moisture and provides a protective barrier against environmental stressors. Our Sweet Almond Oil is one of our favorites to use as a facial moisturizer because it’s suitable for all skin types and helps soothe dry skin. Consider incorporating hydrating serums into your routine for an added boost of nourishment.
As we transition into spring, take the opportunity to refresh and rejuvenate your skincare routine. Your mind and body will thank you – it’s time to get glowing!
