Get Fresh Every Day
Washing your face is the most important step in your makeup routine and overall skin care. It makes the canvas for the rest of your healthy skin regimen. For that, it’s important to know your skin type. For normal or oily skin, wash your face in the morning and evening sufficiently to remove pore-clogging makeup, bacteria, and pollutants. However, don’t wash more than twice a day; otherwise, it’ll dry up your skin. For dry skin types, skip the morning cleansing and wash your face at night to remove makeup. Don’t miss the area around your forehead and behind your ears, where excess dirt and grime accumulates. Always wash with warm water to maintain healthy and glowing skin. Doesn’t it take just minimal effort to look natural during this lovely spring season?

Prepping Your Skin
When the seasons change, you may also notice a difference in your skin. Spring is the best time to reassess your beauty regime. Opt for a lighter and balancing moisturizer, scrubs and cleanser to freshen and brighten the appearance of your skin. Make sure to use vitamin A and C face creams to boost, repair and hydrate your skin. Depending upon the pigmentation of your skin, the possibility of burning in the sun can vary and so should the percentage of the sun protection factor (SPF) in the sunscreen lotion. For daily use, sunscreen with SPF 20 will work best, but if you’re going to be outdoor for a longer duration, then use sunscreen with SPF 50 or higher.
Pamper Your Hair
Spring is the best time to let your hair be more natural, without styling. So, why not revitalize your hair to match the season of renewed life! Start with a quick trim to elevate your hair volume and feel as new as the season. Cutting the dead ends off the bottom of your hair will give new life to your gorgeous locks. Using the right shampoo, conditioner and hair styling products can add moisture back to your hair and give it the soft, vibrant look you want all spring long. You can also add an anti-frizz spray to your hair care routine to give you a smooth and sleek finish. It is always advisable to tie your hair back with a scarf; hair clips or headband on windy days to avoid split ends and static. Or pull it back into a ponytail for a quick and easy trendy style.

Put On Your Sunglasses
Most people link wearing sunglasses with the warm and summer weather, but sunglasses are something you should wear all year-round. The main reason why many people wear sunglasses during the spring season is to protect their eyes from bright sunlight. No amount of sun exposure is considered good for the eyes. Did you know your eyes can get sunburnt as well? Yes, you heard it right! It’s called photokeratitis. Symptoms of photokeratitis are blurry vision or a feeling of something dusty in your eye, such as sand. Fortunately, the consequences are only temporary, but they tend to be painful. Therefore, it is always advisable to wear sunglasses that block UVA and UVB light.
You are What You Eat
With winter ending and spring fast approaching, introduce new flavors to your plate. Spring is the best time to enjoy what Mother Nature gave us, starting with some of the freshest and most delicious fruits and vegetables available during the season. Fruits and vegetables are a must to get flawless skin for spring. They naturally contain all the minerals, vitamins, and antioxidants your skin needs to stay hydrated and fresh. These in-season vegetables and fruits of spring are ripe for picking, making for a delicious snack or an ultra-healthy meal. So, don’t wait any longer!

Do this, and you’ll keep healthy and happy throughout this lovely spring season.
Stay Hydrated
Last, but not the least! Drink plenty of water to hydrate your skin and body from within. Never forget to drink as much water as possible! If you want beautiful skin for spring, this is hands-down the most important beauty tip. The sun and heat can parch your skin, and make your complexion look shot. So, it’s essential to keep yourself watered both inside (with at least eight glasses of water) and outside (with a face spray) to cool off parched skin and keep you looking fresh throughout the day. A lot of people get tired drinking just regular water. If that sounds like you, you can fill your bottle up with any of the great alternatives to plain water, such as lemonade, smoothies, or a sweet infusion to your water to make drinking your daily ounces more enticing!
