Give yourself a springtime refresh. Your skin will thank you!

Houston – It’s that time of year to rejuvenate your skincare routine for a fresh complexion.

From dry, dead skin to excessive sweating, and product shelf life, Dr. Sherry Ingraham with Advanced Dermatology recommended springtime solutions to help you and your family refresh and reset. A good place to start is your bags. It’s time to clean up and clean out.

For your makeup bags, Dr. Ingraham suggests changing them out, getting new brushes, and throwing out makeup with a shelf life or products with expiration dates. Smell your mascara wand, if it’s funky, toss it. Spray some rubbing alcohol on a rag and wipe up your bag.

You can do the same for your gym bag. The rubbing alcohol will kill any bacteria before you use it again. Take all of its contents out and give it a good wipe. Wash your dirty clothes, towels, shoes, and bottles before your next gym session for a clean slate.

Spring cleaning should include your shower tools. Dr. Ingraham recommends changing the razor every two weeks. Loofas can be washed thoroughly with detergent and hung to dry.

Another tip for a Spring reset is to exfoliate to unclog pores and promote cell turnover. Hydrate to achieve a dewy, and youthful glow. Consider using products with hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid or glycerin. With longer days and increased sun exposure, don’t forget to up your SPF protection. It also helps to prioritize sleep and manage stress. Here are some products she recommends.
