As the weather warms up and the days get longer, your skin needs change too. Heavy winter products can start to feel a little much, and your complexion might crave a fresh start. Spring is the perfect time to “spring clean” your skincare routine – to declutter, simplify, and give your skin what it truly needs for the new season.

We believe that healthy skin comes from consistency, simplicity, and the right products for your skin type. Here’s how to reset your routine this spring.

Step 1: Audit Your Products

Start by taking a good look at your skincare shelf. Check expiry dates, and don’t be afraid to say goodbye to products that are past their prime. Expired skincare can lose effectiveness, and sometimes even cause irritation.

Also pay attention to what you’re actually using. If a product has been sitting untouched for months, it’s likely not serving your skin anymore. Keep what works, and let go of the rest.

Tip: Most skincare lasts 6–12 months once opened. If you can’t remember when you bought it, it’s probably time to toss it.

Step 2: Simplify Your Routine

A glowing complexion doesn’t require a dozen steps. In fact, overloading your skin with too many products can sometimes do more harm than good.

Focus on the essentials:

A gentle cleanser to refresh and remove impurities.
A targeted serum to address your main skin concern.
A light moisturiser to hydrate without heaviness.
And of course, SPF every single morning.

Simplifying your routine can help restore balance, reduce congestion, and let your skin breathe again.

Step 3: Swap Heavy for Lighter Formulas

As the temperature rises, rich winter creams and occlusive products can start to feel too heavy. Switch to lighter, breathable textures that keep skin hydrated without clogging pores.

Choose a gel or lotion-based moisturiser instead of thick creams.
Try a hydrating serum with ingredients like hyaluronic acid or B5 for a fresh, dewy glow.
Opt for a lightweight sunscreen, especially if your skin tends to get oily or shiny in warmer months.

Product Tip: We love the Lira Clinical Bio Hydra Infusion for hydration and ClearChoice Sport Shield SPF 45 for high-performance daily sun protection.

Step 4: Treat Your Skin to a Fresh Start

A new season is also a great time to book a professional skin treatment to refresh your complexion. A gentle exfoliating facial, peel, or hydrating treatment can help remove dull winter buildup and kickstart that spring glow.

Just like your wardrobe, your skincare routine deserves a seasonal refresh. By clearing out the old, simplifying your steps, and choosing products that suit the warmer weather, your skin will thank you with clarity, balance, and glow.

Spring is the season of renewal, let your skin reflect it.
