This spring, we’re looking forward to soft, glowing skin, bold lip colors, and shimmering eyes. Spring’s makeup trends offer a fresh, vivid palette of colors and some truly eye-catching application techniques.

But before you start experimenting with watercolor eyeshadow or blush draping, you’ll need to trade in winter skin care routines for gentler treatments that bring fresh, glowing spring skin to the surface.

Here are our top five tips to get you ready for spring:

1. Exfoliate
   Scrub away the buildup of dry, dead skin cells that have accumulated over the winter with a good exfoliator. If your skin needs a little help, try microdermabrasion. Follow up with a facial mask a couple of times each week.
2. Moisturize
   Quench your skin’s thirst with an oil-free moisturizer that goes on light and smooth. With spring’s gentler weather, you won’t need the heavy, intense lotions you’ve been using all winter. Swap them out for lighter lotions that moisturize without looking greasy, even in high humidity.
3. Protect
   The sunny days of spring and summer can mean bad news for your skin as you soak up harmful UV rays. Use sunscreen every day, even if the weather is mild. Be sure to reapply before any outdoor activity.
4. Glow
   The delicate skin around the eye shows damage more quickly than other areas, especially when you’re constantly squinting into the sun. Get your glow back and combat those fine lines and wrinkles with an eye cream high in antioxidants and peptides. And don’t forget your sunglasses.
5. Deep Treat
   It’s always a good idea to kick off the spring season with a facial to help bring glowing skin to the surface. Facials treat winter skin with professional exfoliation, deep moisture treatments, skin cancer screenings, and personalized skin care tips. Plus, your esthetician will recommend new products targeted to the needs of your skin.

Every new season kicks off a new skin care regimen. If you need help deciding which treatments and daily routines will be best for your skin, talk to your esthetician. With winter’s dryness scrubbed away, you’ll be able to enjoy glowing fresh skin all season long. And when you’re ready to try spring’s latest makeup trends, you won’t have to worry about blemishes and dry patches.
