Ah, spring! The season of blooming flowers, chirping birds, and finally peeling off those heavy winter layers. With spring just around the corner we thought we'd give some important tips and tricks to keep you looking your best but just like the weather, our beauty routines need a little spring cleaning. Whether you're dealing with post-winter dryness or prepping for that sunny glow, we’ve got you covered. Here are some fun and practical beauty tips to help you blossom this season.
1. Out with the Old, In with the Glow
Spring is the perfect time to refresh your skincare and makeup routine. Say goodbye to the heavy, rich products of winter and hello to lighter, brighter options:
-
Exfoliate for a fresh start. Buff away dull, dry skin with a gentle exfoliator. Think of it as spring cleaning for your face.
-
Switch to a lightweight moisturiser. Your skin will thank you for the breathable hydration.
-
Update your SPF game. Warmer days mean more sun exposure, YES even in the UK it can be a problem, so opt for a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30. Typically us Brits can't get a break with the weather.
Pro tip: Declutter your beauty stash. Toss out expired products—spring is all about fresh starts!
2. Hair Care for Warmer Air
Spring can be a hair-raising season with increased humidity and unpredictable weather. Keep your locks in check with these tips:
-
Clarify and detox. Use a clarifying shampoo to remove build-up from winter styling products.
-
Add a hydrating hair mask. Repair and nourish hair that’s been battling the cold for months.
-
Try air-drying. Embrace your natural texture and give your heat tools a well-deserved break.
- Protect with a little hair oil. Like the hair mask hair oils can help with repair and nourish your hair but can also add that little extra protection as it helps to seal and replace lost natural oils when styling and shampooing.
Bonus idea: Add a floral accessory or a fun scrunchie to channel those spring vibes.
3. Makeup That Pops Like Spring Blooms
Spring is all about fresh, dewy, and colourful makeup looks. Here’s how to refresh your makeup bag:
-
Go for a luminous foundation. Swap heavy, matte formulas for lightweight, dewy options.
-
Embrace pastels. Think peachy blushes, lilac eyeshadows, and soft pink lips.
-
Highlight like a pro. Add a touch of shimmer to your cheekbones and inner eyes for that springtime glow.
Pro tip: Less is more. Let your natural beauty shine through—it’s what spring is all about.
4. Self-Care to Put a Spring in Your Step
Spring isn’t just for external beauty—it’s also a time to rejuvenate your spirit. Try these self-care ideas:
-
Take a nature walk. Fresh air and blooming flowers do wonders for your mood.
-
Pamper your feet. Get them sandal-ready with a scrub and a nourishing foot cream.
-
Sip on refreshing drinks. Trade hot cocoa for infused water or iced herbal teas.
Think of these rituals as a way to reset and recharge, just like the season itself.
