Spring is a time of renewal and rejuvenation, and what better way to embrace the season than with a thorough spring cleaning – for your skin and your skincare routine! Just like you declutter your home, it’s essential to refresh your skincare collection and habits to ensure healthy, radiant skin.
Here’s your guide to a successful spring cleaning for your skin:
Declutter Your Products
- Check Expiration Dates: Expired products can harbor bacteria and may not be effective. Toss anything past its prime.
- Say Goodbye to Old Sunscreen: Sunscreen typically expires after three years, or even sooner if exposed to heat or direct sunlight. Replace old bottles to ensure optimal protection.
- Examine Your Makeup: Makeup, especially liquid and cream formulas, can also expire. Discard anything that looks or smells different, or that you haven’t used in the past six months.
Clean Your Tools
- Wash Makeup Brushes: Dirty makeup brushes can harbor bacteria and lead to breakouts. Wash them weekly with a gentle cleanser or brush shampoo.
- Disinfect Makeup Tools: Clean eyelash curlers, tweezers, and other beauty tools with rubbing alcohol to prevent the spread of bacteria.
Refresh Your Routine
- Evaluate Your Current Products: As the seasons change, so do your skin’s needs. Assess your current products and see if they’re still appropriate for your skin type and concerns. Consider switching to lighter moisturizers and serums as the weather warms up.
- Introduce a Chemical Peel: A monthly chemical peel can help exfoliate dead skin cells, unclog pores, and improve skin tone and texture. At Feinstein Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery, we offer a variety of chemical peels tailored to different skin types and concerns.
Don’t Forget the Basics
- Wash Your Pillowcases: Pillowcases can accumulate dirt, oil, and bacteria, which can transfer to your skin. Wash them weekly in hot water to keep your skin clean and clear.
- Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water is essential for healthy skin. Aim for eight glasses a day to keep your skin hydrated and plump.
- Protect Your Skin from the Sun: As the weather warms up and you spend more time outdoors, don’t forget to protect your skin from the sun. Wear sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher every day, even on cloudy days.
