Enhance Your Spring Glow with a Radiant Beauty Routine


As the world blossoms into spring, it’s time to rejuvenate your beauty routine after the trials of winter. This is your moment to reassess, not just restock. Think of it as a gentle reset – an opportunity to truly understand what your skin, body and hair need to flourish. Here’s your mini beginner’s guide to embracing the season with grace and glow.

Refresh your beauty collection

Step 1: Sort & organise

Gather every product from your beauty arsenal – that includes your purse, gym bag and even your beauty fridge -lay them out on a spacious surface to easily sort through.

Step 2: Keep the essentials, let go of the rest

Your beauty products should reflect who you are. Say goodbye to anything that you no longer use. Spring beauty trends are favouring fresh, clean looks, so you can do away with some extra products.

Step 3: Check for expiration

Even if a product hasn’t passed the expiry date on the label, there are signs that a product is no longer good for use. If the texture has changed, it smells off, or it causes irritation, it’s time to let it go. Anything you haven’t used in the past year? Into the discard pile.

Step 4: Use what suits you

Use skincare products that suit your skin’s needs. When your skincare aligns with your skin’s unique needs, your skin’s outer layer will feel more comfortable and your complexion more radiant.

Step 5: Organise & prioritise

Keep your everyday essentials within easy reach, and sort everything else by category (makeup, haircare and so on). This not only streamlines your routine but also adds a sense of calm and efficiency to your life.

Step 6: Treat yourself

After all that spring cleaning, you can reward yourself with a bit of shopping. Restock your essentials and consider new additions that align with your refreshed spring routine, lifestyle and budget.

Revitalise your hair, scalp, skin and body

Spring isn’t just for tidying up your space; your skin, hair and body deserve a refresh too. Incorporate a multi-purpose exfoliator into your weekly routine to slough off dead skin cells from head to toe to unveil a smoother, brighter you.

Sunscreen: your daily must-have

We might not be in the heart of summer and temperatures might still be mild, but the sun’s rays are stronger than you think. With warmer days ahead, sun protection is non-negotiable (although, you should be rocking daily SPF through the colder, cloudier seasons too) to combat the harmful sun rays, apply an SPF of 30 or higher every morning and reapply before stepping outdoors.

Add eye cream

As the sun gets brighter, squinting becomes more common, which can lead to fine lines around the eyes. Combat this with an eye cream rich in antioxidants and peptides to protect against UV damage and smooth out existing wrinkles.

Stay hydrated

Hydration is the foundation of glowing skin. Drinking water does wonders, but your skincare routine needs to keep pace. Opt for a hydrating cleanser, toner, serum and moisturiser to maintain your skin’s natural moisture balance. Antioxidants, which help neutralise harmful free radicals in our bodies, can help to protect against signs of premature ageing. This includes nutrients like vitamins C and E.

Switch to lightweight formulas

In warmer weather, your skin craves lighter textures. Transition to oil-free, water-based products that hydrate without weighing you down. Ingredients like hyaluronic and glycolic acids ensure light hydration and are suitable for most skin types. These formulas will keep your skin balanced and radiant as the days grow longer.

Embrace movement

Exercise is your skin’s best friend. not only does sweating help to unclog your pores, but moving also helps with the skin’s circulation. Whether it’s a brisk walk in the spring air or a calming yoga session on the lawn, find joy in movement and your skin will thank you.
