Spring Clean Your Skin

It is that time of year, when spring is in the air, that makes us want to spring clean our houses, but why just do it to your house and not your skin too? The lighter, brighter, longer days can bring attention to our skin. The general dull, lack lustre complexion that the winter can cause.

So, it is time to 'spring clean' your skin and with a few simple tips for your regime your skin can be glowing in no time revealing a radiant, refreshed and renewed complexion.

* Change with the season - I for one have always done this as my skin is dry, I always apply richer, more nourishing products during autumn/winter months and as long as my skin feels hydrated enough - dependent on our weather in more recent years - I then switch to lighter products for spring/summer e.g during winter months I will use a Cleansing Balm but in spring/summer a Cleansing Lotion.

* Exfoliate - exfoliating the skin x1/x2 per week helps to promote radiance by removing dry, dull dead skin cells giving us a healthy glow. As well as making the skin appear brighter, you will find your makeup will go on more easily and potentially last longer. Also, for you men you will find by exfoliating pre shave you will also get a closer finish.
* Apply a face mask - by applying a face mask (or masks, depending on your skin type) after exfoliation to fresh, new skin will help nourish, hydrate or, in some cases, purify the skin.
* Add an SPF - personally the tinted moisturiser I use all year round has a SPF15 and ideally everyone should do the same, but if you don't spring/summer is a good time to start when your skin is exposed to sunlight. Please note, it can be in any form you choose, not tinted moisturiser like myself.
* Switch to tinted moisturiser - why not ditch the heavy foundations of winter months and change to a lighter, natural looking tinted moisturiser which helps achieve a radiant glow and some can contain an SPF too.
* Declutter your products - time to 'spring clean' your products, including make-up too! Check all the products you have open and see if you use them still, are they out of date, are they what your skin needs? If not, bin them and replace them with lovely new products that your skin needs and will benefit from.
