🌸Spring Clean Your Skincare Routine: Say Goodbye to Acne for Good
Glowing Skin
As the seasons change and nature comes back to life, it's the perfect time to hit reset - not just for your home, but for your skin too. Spring is a season of renewal, making it the ideal moment to refresh your skincare routine and finally say goodbye to stubborn acne for good. If you've been struggling with breakouts, clogged pores, or dull skin, this guide will help you declutter your skincare habits, eliminate hidden acne triggers, and simplify your regimen for clear, glowing skin.
Refreshing Skincare for Clear Skin
Winter can be rough on your skin. Cold weather, indoor heating, and heavy moisturizers often lead to congestion, dryness, and a buildup of dead skin cells. As the temperature rises and humidity returns, your skin’s needs begin to shift. This is the best time to refresh your skincare products and adjust your routine to support acne-free skin.
Here’s how to refresh your spring skincare routine:
Switch to lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizers that hydrate without clogging pores.
Incorporate a gentle exfoliant (like mandelic, salicylic acid or lactic acid) 2–3 times a week to slough off dead skin and prevent pore blockage.
Add antioxidants to protect your skin from environmental stressors and promote healing from past breakouts.
Clean out expired products - old makeup, expired sunscreens, and half-used serums may be doing more harm than good.
Spring is also the perfect time to book a professional facial or chemical peel to help remove winter buildup and jumpstart your clear skin journey.

Eliminating Hidden Acne Triggers
You may be doing everything “right” in your routine, but if acne keeps popping up, there could be hidden triggers sabotaging your progress. Let's uncover a few common culprits:
1. Dirty Makeup Brushes & Pillowcases
These can harbor acne-causing bacteria. Wash brushes weekly and swap out pillowcases every few days.
2. Overusing Active Ingredients
Too much of a good thing (like benzoyl peroxide or retinol) can irritate the skin, leading to inflammation and more breakouts. Ease into these ingredients slowly so your skin has time to acclimate. If your skin ever feels like its wind burnt when it gets wet- take a break for a few days and start up again.
3. Hair Products
Styling products like gels, dry shampoo, and oils can transfer to your face and clog pores—especially along the hairline and forehead.
4. Diet and Hydration
Diets high in sugar and dairy have been linked to acne in some individuals. Staying hydrated and adding skin-supportive nutrients like zinc and omega-3s can make a big difference.
5. Touching Your Face
Even if your hands are clean, constant touching can transfer oils and bacteria. Be mindful, especially during allergy season!
Identifying and removing these triggers can have a huge impact on the health of your skin.
Simplifying Routines
More isn’t always better—especially when it comes to skincare. If your routine has too many steps or conflicting ingredients, your skin may become overwhelmed and prone to breakouts. Spring is the time to simplify and streamline.
Build a simple, acne-fighting routine:
Cleanser: A gentle, sulfate-free cleanser that removes dirt and excess oil without stripping the skin.
Toner (optional): Alcohol-free formulas with salicylic can help clean out pores and calm inflammation.
Treatment Serum: Look for one targeted acne-fighter to start like salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, or adapalene—don’t use all three at first.. slowly add one active ingredient at a time and let your skin adjust.
Moisturizer: Always use a moisturizer, even for oily skin. Choose something oil-free and lightweight.
SPF: Protecting your skin from UV damage helps prevent post-acne marks and premature aging. Zinc based sunscreen is best for those with acne prone skin. Zinc is healing and calms the skin in addition to protecting it from the UV light. Make sure to put plenty on!
Stick to a consistent morning and evening routine, and avoid switching products too often. Give each new product at least 4–6 weeks to show results.
