Spring Clean Your Routine: Skin Care Tips for a Fresh Start

Spring is a time of rejuvenation. We clean our homes, refresh our closets, and welcome that renewal feeling. As we give our spaces a little seasonal spruce up, we also need to consider our skin, which could benefit from a little spring cleaning as well. Just like the earth, our skin can awaken with new life. 

The image above outlines the six basic steps of a skin care routine: cleansing, toning, exfoliation, moisturization, sun protection, and nourishment. These six steps, with the proper products, can provide a balance that will help to maintain skin in its most healthy, fresh, and glowing state. 

How can you implement skincare steps this spring?

1.  Cleansers – Washing Away the Day

Every fresh start must begin with a clean slate. Cleansing is the first step, as it removes dirt, oil, and impurities. In the spring, cleansing counts as an important step in your regimen, as the warmth and humidity bring more sweating and exposure to environmental particles, all of which will leave your skin feeling a bit grimy. A gentle cleanser is super for spring when the temperatures bring humidity and wind. A sulfate-free cleanser will give your face a clean without stripping natural oils off your skin. 

2. Toning: Re-establish balance

Toning is a phase often ignored, but it is an essential step in balancing your skin's pH and minimising pores. After using a toner, your skin will be prepped to better absorb serums and moisturiser, and therefore capitalise on each phase of your routine. Consider it the middle point in your process - the bridging of the cleansing and nourishing elements of your routine.

3. Exfoliation: Buff winter dullness away

There is no better season than spring to slough off the dull layer left by winter. Gentle exfoliation removes dead skin cells, unclogs pores, and prepares the skin to show its brightness. Once or twice a week is often enough so as not to irritate.

4. Moisturising: lock in with hydration

Hydration never goes out of style. As the season changes, your skin may be ready for a lighter weight moisturiser than your usual, which will hydrate without weighing it down through those sticky spring and summer months. Aurella Belle's Collagen Moisturiser is a great answer for this; it deeply nourishes the skin, enhances elasticity, and helps to leave the skin feeling soft and plump without greasiness.

5. Sun protection: protect your glow

With more sun above, SPF becomes non-negotiable. Sun protection is a critical step as it protects against premature ageing; it is the most important skin-care step you will implement. A complementary product for SPF would be Aurella Belle's Face Mist Fixer. You can hydrate from it, whilst the moisture is protecting your make-up from fading throughout the day.

6. Nourishment & Protection: Feed Your Skin

Your skin not only needs hydration, but nourishment. Nourishment is much more than just hydration. Nourishment helps the skin and your routines by giving it an active treatment. A serum with a light texture, like reported in this article, Aurella Belle’s Face Serum, will deliver the good stuff directly to where it is needed - in this case, to address fine lines, dull skin, as well as increase overall surface radiance. 

In conclusion: A Season of Renewal 

Spring reminds us, renewal is not about change; it's about consistency and care. When you follow these six steps: cleansing, toning, exfoliating, moisturizing, sun protection, and nourishment, you help your skin to be gently renewed, just as nature inspires us. Tie in these steps with trusted products like Aurella Belle's Collagen Moisturiser, Face Serum, and Face Mist fixer, and your skin will feel as bright and rejuvenated as the world that is blooming around you. 

Your skin deserves a fresh start. This spring, let your skincare routine be as uplifting and renewing as the season.
