How to Transition Your Bodycare from Winter to Spring
As the weather warms up and the days grow longer, it’s the perfect time to refresh and revitalize your bodycare routine. After the dry, cold winter months, your skin may feel a little lackluster, and it’s time to give it the rejuvenating boost it deserves for the new season. Spring is all about renewal, and just like the world outside, your skin deserves to bloom.
Here’s how you can smoothly transition your bodycare from winter to spring, so you can feel fresh, hydrated, and glowing all season long.
1. Exfoliate to Reveal Fresh Skin
Winter can leave your skin feeling dry and dull, thanks to the cold air and indoor heating. The first step in your transition is to exfoliate. Sloughing off dead skin cells will reveal the fresh, glowing skin that’s been hiding underneath.
How to do it:
- Choose a gentle scrub: During winter, your skin may have become more sensitive, so opt for a gentle exfoliator. Look for one with natural ingredients like sugar that is gentle on the skin but still effective.
- Body Scrubs or Dry Brushing: A body scrub can be an enjoyable way to scrub away the dullness, but don’t forget about dry brushing too! Brushing your body before a shower increases circulation and helps with lymphatic drainage, promoting healthy skin renewal.
- Exfoliate 2-3 times a week: You don’t need to overdo it. Exfoliating a couple of times a week will keep your skin smooth without irritating it.
2. Embrace a Refreshing Scent
Winter calls for deeper, richer scents—think vanilla and cinnamon. As we move into spring, it’s time to embrace fresher, lighter fragrances that reflect the blooming season. Think florals, citrus, and fresh herbs for a clean and invigorating scent profile.
How to do it:
- Switch your body wash and lotions: Swap your winter body wash for a refreshing scent, such as lemon, lavender, or rosemary. These fragrances are energizing and pair well with the brightness of spring, and can be found in our collections like Relax™ or Tired Old Ass™.
- Body mists: Light body mists or sprays are perfect for the spring weather. They’re not as heavy as perfumes, but they still offer a lovely scent throughout the day. Try our floral Clear Skies Ahead™ Mist that's perfect for any spring day!
3. Nurture Your Skin with a Spring-Friendly Bath Routine
A warm bath can feel comforting in the winter, but come spring, you’ll want to focus on more refreshing, energizing bath products that can help rejuvenate your skin and invigorate your senses.
How to do it:
- Add refreshing mineral baths: Try adding mineral baths made with eucalyptus and rosemary. These ingredients not only invigorate your senses but also help soothe your skin after months of being bundled up in layers.
- Soothing scrubs for the bath: Consider adding a sugar scrub directly into your bathwater. This will help exfoliate the skin while you soak, leaving you with soft and smooth skin.
4. Mind Your Hands and Feet
The colder months can take a toll on your hands and feet, leaving them feeling dry and cracked. Spring is the time to show extra care to these often-overlooked body parts. Soft, hydrated hands and feet can complete the look of your freshly renewed body.
How to do it:
- Regular moisturizing: Make a habit of applying foot lotion at night to keep your feet moisturized and soft.
- Add a scrub: Don’t forget to exfoliate your hands and feet too! You can any of our sugar scrubs.
5. Switch Up Your Shower Routine
The steamy, hot showers of winter might be a thing of the past. As the weather warms up, consider adjusting your shower routine to avoid stripping your skin of its natural moisture.
How to do it:
- Opt for lukewarm showers: Hot showers can dry out your skin, so try switching to lukewarm water. This will help your skin stay hydrated and preserve its natural oils.
- Gentle body washes: Switch from creamy, heavy body washes to more refreshing gel-based washes. Look for one that contains natural ingredients like aloe or chamomile for soothing hydration without overloading your skin.
