Because your skincare shelf deserves a glow-up too.
As the seasons shift and the weather warms, spring cleaning isn't just for your closet—it's the perfect time to declutter your skincare routine too. Just like your wardrobe, your skin’s needs change with the seasons. Heavier creams, expired serums, and forgotten products? It’s time to sort through it all and reset for spring.
Here’s your step-by-step guide to refreshing your routine with intention—and making room for formulas that actually work.
Start with a Skincare Audit
Let’s be honest: most of us have at least a few half-used, forgotten products collecting dust in the back of a drawer. Start by pulling everything out—yes, everything—and giving your stash a full audit.
Check for:
✔️ Expiration dates – Most products have a shelf life of 6–12 months after opening. If it’s separated, smells off, or changed color? Toss it.
✔️ Open containers – If you can't remember when you opened it, it’s probably time to let it go.
✔️ Duplicates or unused products – Be real: if you haven’t reached for it in months, you're not going to. Simplify your lineup.
What to Toss
Say goodbye to:
-
Expired SPF – Sunscreen loses effectiveness over time. Toss anything older than 12 months.
-
Old acne treatments – Active ingredients like benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid degrade. Swap in something fresh and effective (like our Exfoliating Pads).
- Thick, heavy moisturizers – Save those rich creams for winter. Spring calls for lighter hydration.
What to Keep
Hold onto your:
-
Gentle cleansers – Like our Gentle Foamy Cleanser, which removes buildup without stripping your skin barrier.
-
Vitamin C – Brightens dull winter skin and protects against springtime UV exposure. Try our Antioxidant C + E Serum.
-
Hydrating toner – Our Hydrating Acne Toner is a year-round staple to balance and prep the skin.
Pro tip: Store essentials in a cool, dry place and keep lids tightly sealed to extend their shelf life.
Spring Clean, Simplified
Skincare doesn’t have to be complicated. A refreshed, minimal routine tailored to the season is better for your skin (and your sanity). This spring, give your routine the reset it deserves—keep what works, toss what doesn’t, and make space for products that bring real results.
