Spring Clean Your Skincare: How to Refresh Your Routine

Just like swapping winter boots for strappy sandals and ditching heavy coats for linen layers, your skincare routine deserves its own seasonal refresh. Spring is a natural reset, and your glow? It’s ready to bloom. 

Here’s how to give your skincare shelf a clean slate (without the chaos), reintroduce balance, and make room for radiant, dewy skin all season long.

1. Purge with Purpose

Let’s start with some tough love. If you haven’t checked the expiration dates on your products in a while, now’s the time. Just like your almond milk or that mystery jar in the fridge, skincare has a shelf life.

Here’s your quick toss-it checklist:

• Changes in texture, smell, or color? Bye.

• That SPF from last summer? Expired.

• Anything past 6–12 months (especially if it’s natural and preservative-free)? Time to part ways.

Your skin deserves fresh, active ingredients, not expired formulas that can cause irritation or breakouts.

2. Lighten Up

Warmer weather means more humidity in the air, which lets you ease up on the heavy-duty moisturizers. Ditch the rich winter creams and swap in lightweight, breathable formulas that still lock in moisture.

We’re loving

• LUN’s Serene Rosehip Face Oil, a featherlight blend of squalane and rosehip that deeply nourishes without feeling greasy. Perfect under SPF or as a dewy base for your “clean girl” makeup days.

Pro tip: Layer your skincare thinnest to thickest. 

Think: hydrating toner → antioxidant serum → face oil → SPF.

3. Hydration Is Still Queen

Don’t be fooled by the seasonal shift, just because it’s not snowing doesn’t mean your skin isn’t thirsty. The key now is balanced hydration: keeping your skin plump and dewy without overwhelming it.

How to keep your skin in its hydration era:

• Use a gentle, pH-balanced cleanser (like our upcoming botanical cleanser 👀)

• Spritz on a mist or essence after cleansing to boost moisture absorption.

• Lock it in with a non-comedogenic oil or gel moisturizer.

4. Spring Skin Habits = Spring Energy

While you’re decluttering your shelf, consider a mini ritual refresh too:

• Wash your pillowcases weekly (trust us).

• Clean your beauty tools (your gua sha stone included).

• Embrace gua sha massage to boost lymphatic drainage and wake up a winter-weary face.

• And, of course, sunscreen every single day (yes, even when it's cloudy).

Ready for a glow-up?

Spring is the season of renewal, and your skin is no exception. A few simple swaps and mindful upgrades can leave you looking, and feeling, fresh, radiant, and ready for all the sunny days ahead.

Let your glow blossom.
