Spring Cleaning for your Skincare Routine
Don't limit Spring Cleaning to just your house. Take this opportunity to also revamp your skincare routine so you can achieve #yourhealthiestskin this season!
#1 IF IT DOESN'T SPARK JOY, THEN DECLUTTER (S/O to Marie Kondo!)
Haven't used it in 3 months?
Not working for you?
Is this one of 10 moisturizers?
TOSS IT!!
Expired products:
Are ineffective (hello sunburns!)
Can cause harmful rashes (contact dermatitis) when their ingredients break down
Can overgrow bacteria
#2 COMMIT TO CLEANLINESS
Clean your makeup brushes!
When unwashed, they can harbour dead skin cells, bacteria
Wash your pillowcase & sheets once per week.
Use a fragrance-free detergent & avoid fabric softeners
#3 MASTER THE BASICS
Without these fundamentals, skin health and results are difficult to achieve or sustain
1) Cleanse
2) Moisturize
3) Sunscreen
#4 BUY NICE OR BUY TWICE
How our Dermatologists choose their products:
Quality over quantity
Look for scientifically proven ingredients
Tailor your regimen to your skincare goals
Choose multi-use, multi-ingredient products to simplify
#5 PREPARE FOR SPRING
Load up on sunscreen
You always need way more than you think!
Transition to lighter formulations
Replace creams/ointments with lighter gels/lotion-based formulas
Brighten up your products
Get ahead of pigmentation by proactively focusing on vitamin C, AHA/BHAs, azelaic acid, sunscreen and other brightening agents!
