Spring is finally here and it is time to bust out colorful eye shadow, pink and coral-hued lipsticks, and dewy, glowing skin! This is the perfect way to complement a season with perfect weather, lovely butterflies and magnificent blooms. Below are some of our tips on spring beauty essentials and the top spring beauty trends to try for 2016!
Skincare for Spring
The cold and dry months are finally over and it’s time to renew your skin to prepare for the upcoming Spring season. Exfoliate with a gentle scrub to get rid of dry and flaky skin left by the harshness of winter. This should unveil a fresh layer of skin that’s radiant. Make sure you are using a gentle scrub, and not one that contains nut shells or fruit pits. Those tend to cause microscopic tears in the skin which will make dry winter skin look more dull.
Don’t forget to moisturize your face and body to seal in moisture. Your skin produces more oils during spring time, so make product changes according to your skin needs. Store away the thicker creams you’ve been using for winter and switch to lighter moisturizers. You may also want to do an oatmeal and honey face mask or any of these natural recipes to rejuvenate your skin!
Warmer winds and sunnier days also mean that you should incorporate sun block into your skin care regimen. We’ve previously discussed the amount of SPF recommended for daily use, so go ahead and read that article here.
Don’t forget to also exfoliate and moisturize your lips!
Makeup for Spring
Spring is a wonderful time for makeup lovers who enjoy playing with bright and bold colors. Before you start doing so, take time to organize your makeup stash and throw away products that may be expired. Learn how to sanitize makeup and clean your brushes by reading this article here.
You might have to get new a foundation to suit your spring skin tone, or a BB cream for lighter coverage. Bronzer and illuminators are essential items to get a lovely glow perfect for the season.
As for eye makeup, feel free to experiment with color choices. If you’re a neutral lover, try on a pop of color by wearing colorful eyeliner or shadow on your upper or bottom lash line. On your lips, try hues of pinks, corals, and oranges. Believe it or not, your favorite bold, berry-toned lip color last winter also works for this year’s spring, as mentioned by MAC’s director of makeup artistry.
Hairstyles for Spring
Lastly, treat your tresses to a nourishing and repairing hair mask. Your hair might have become dry due to winter so it’s time to bring hydration back. You might also have to visit your stylist to get a regular trim to get rid of split ends.
Braids, side parts and textured hair are going to be big this spring. Braids will especially look cute to complement flowy sun dresses, and they also help to make you feel cooler during warm weather.
With those spring beauty trends in mind, go over your existing hair, skincare and makeup products and pick out spring beauty essentials that you will need this season. Enjoy!
