Get Your Skin Ready for Spring

You’ve been taking good care of your skin all winter long, and now that fat robins are starting to hop around outside and signs of spring are upon us, it’s time to think about adapting your skin care regimen to reflect the change in the seasons. Spring cleaning is not just for your apartment: Your skin could use a good detox after the harsh winter months, as well.

Start by exfoliating – everything. Your face, knees, elbows… we’ve been hiding out under coats and scarves over the past few months, and it’s time to prepare our skin to be exposed to the world again. Get rid of flaky skin with a good body exfoliator. Apply a scrub in a warm (not hot) shower, give yourself a good rub (but be careful – the grains in some scrubs have jagged edges that can harm your skin) and finish up with a coat of nice body moisturizer or oil once you’re out of the shower. Try one with alpha-hydroxy acids to give your skin an extra glow.

Now for your face. If a spa day is not in your budget, try an at-home facial to detox your pores and rejuvenate your tired skin. Steam your pores open in the shower or over a bowl of warm water (be careful not to make it too hot! Steam can burn!), then follow up with a light facial scrub to gently remove dead skin cells. When you’re good and smooth, apply a face lotion and lip balm with SPF. Now that you’re probably going to be spending more and more time outside, you definitely don’t want to skimp on the sunscreen!

Finish up by treating yourself to a pedicure. You may not be wearing sandals just yet, but it’s not too early to start getting those rough feet and messy cuticles in order. Soak your tootsies in a tub of warm water and bath salts, then dry them thoroughly and apply a foot cream. Clean the residue off of your toenails with a pad soaked with polish remover so they’re oil-free and ready for polish. Two careful coats of color, a layer of top coat and you’re good to go. A girl always feels a little more cheery when she’s got color on her toes!  It may not be shorts weather, but at least your skin is prepped and ready for warmer weather to arrive.
