Spring is the season of renewal—a time to refresh your space, reset your energy, and embrace new self-care rituals. While decluttering your home may be second nature, have you ever considered spring cleaning your skincare routine? Like our wardrobes, our skincare lineup needs a seasonal refresh to align with the changing environment and our skin’s evolving needs.
Ready to detox your beauty shelf and elevate your self-care ritual?
Here’s how to spring clean your skincare and create a radiant, balanced, and renewed ritual.
🌿Step 1: Declutter & Detox Your Products
The first step in refreshing your skincare routine is letting go of what no longer serves you. Take a moment to go through your products and check for:
Expiration Dates – Skincare has a shelf life! Using expired products can be ineffective (or, worse, irritating). Toss anything past its prime.
What You Use – Be honest: Are there products you’ve been neglecting? If something hasn’t worked for you, let it go.
This process isn’t just about organizing—it’s about creating space for what truly supports your skin.
🌸Step 2: Lighten Up for Spring
Just as we swap out heavy winter coats for lighter layers, our skin needs a seasonal transition, too! Spring brings warmer temperatures and increased humidity, so your routine can focus on lightweight hydration and renewal.
What to Keep or Add:
Luminous Berry Seed Oil – This lightweight, glow-enhancing oil is rich in vitamins A, C, and E, plus skin-loving omegas. It delivers dewy hydration without heaviness—and thanks to its high antioxidant content, it also offers an added layer of natural protection against environmental stressors and UV exposure. Always pair it with your SPF for complete protection!
Lunar Elixir Seed Oil—While spring is full of bright energy, your skin still needs deep overnight nourishment. Lunar Elixir is your nighttime reset: Bakuchiol helps boost cell turnover and smooth skin texture without irritation, making it the perfect seasonal companion as your skin renews with the rhythm of spring. And the calming scent? A gentle cue to unwind and reflect at the end of your day.
Energy Lift Gua Sha – A natural white quartz tool that sculpts, lifts, and promotes circulation—helping you start the season with a radiant and youthful glow.
Incorporate Sunscreen: If you haven't already, use a broad-spectrum SPF of 30 or higher daily to protect against increased sun exposure.
✨Step 3: Elevate Your Ritual with Mindfulness
Skincare isn’t just about what you apply—it’s about how you experience it. As you refresh your routine, turn it into a moment of self-care and reflection.

🌸Step 4: Refresh Your Tools & Space
Now that your skincare is refreshed remember the tools and environment that support your self-care ritual.
Wash Your Gua Sha + Facial Rollers— After every use, a gentle cleanse with warm water and a mild soap will keep them fresh and bacteria-free.
Clean and Sanitize Your Make-Up Brushes- Dirty makeup brushes accumulate bacteria, oil, dead skin cells, and product residue. When reused without cleaning, these contaminants can transfer to your skin, clogging pores and causing breakouts,
Swap Out Old Towels & Pillowcases – Clean, soft fabrics help prevent breakouts and irritation. Switch to a silk pillowcase to help reduce wrinkles and frizz!
Create a Skincare Sanctuary – Arrange your products beautifully, light a candle, and turn your routine into a peaceful, intentional ritual.
