Spring, Spring, Spring, Spring, SPRING!
Just the word makes me happy – it holds the promise of longer and warmer days, picnics, and tons of outdoors time. Of course, it’s also time to boost my beauty regimen — Winter always wreaks absolute havoc on my hair and skin, and it’s time to get back into gear! Here’s my to do list …
1. First and foremost, since I plan to be outside so often, I will be stocking up on my sunscreen. I adore Blue Lizard Sunscreen for myself and my son. It’s chemical free, and we’ve never been burned using this. Good, good stuff.
2. Getting a good haircut is next on my list. Just as the sun can damage hair, cool temps also tend to make my ends go haywire. It’s not a pretty situation right now!
3. Exfoliate and Moisturize! As I’ve mentioned, my skin does not like Winter. It hates Winter. Unless I keep on top of exfoliating, I run around with the flakiest skin ever, prompting my toddler to put his hands on my face and frown. Seriously.
Just as the weather starts getting better, my skin makes a turn around, but it still needs some extra attention, so I’ll be faithfully using my Claroderm cloth and pampering my skin with a light layer of Argan oil right before applying sunscreen.
4. Lighten up! It’s time for tinted moisturizer to make its comeback to my makeup lineup, as well as a lighter application in general. I tend not to wear as much makeup in warmer weather, and when I do I keep it simple. There will be a lot of my five minute routine going on!
There’s my list – what about you? What kind of beauty changes are you planning on making for Spring?
Where do you buy your sunscreen?
Leticia – at CVS, or Amazon.com
I’ve never ever heard of that brand of sunscreen, which is weird considering I live in Australia
then again, it wouldnt be the first time an Australian brand that touts their heritage doesnt even sell in Australia D:
Silhouette – what are some so-called Australian brands you don’t have access to? I’m curious!
