Spring will be here before you know it. Get ready for a new season with some expert beauty tips from Sinead Norenius, licensed esthetician and founder and formulator of Beautisol. She shares her tips on how to spring clean your body from head to toe.
Head
Norenius suggests literally washing winter out of your hair. Use a clarifying shampoo to remove any build up and apply a gloss to bring back luster and shine. Try Clairol Natural Instincts Shine Happy or Frederic Fekkai Salon Glaze Clear Shine Rinse.
Face
Put your best face forward this spring by exfoliating to reveal fresh new skin cells. Try the Clarasonic Mia Skin Cleansing System or Olay's new Pro-X Advance cleansing system for deep exfoliation. Then show off your newly revealed skin by trading heavy foundation and concealer for self-tanner. This will even your skin tone rather than hiding your gorgeous face under too much foundation.
Body
After a winter spent under too many layers, in and out of the cold, dry air it's time to give your body a fresh start. Use a deep exfoliating scrub along with some exfoliating mitts to remove all your winter-weary, dull, dry skin. Give skin a good scrub with Fresh Brown Sugar Body Polish. Norenius also suggests using a self tanner on newly exfoliated legs to give them a subtle glow.
Feet
Before sandal season starts, get your toes ready for their close-up. Schedule a pedicure and take some time to exfoliate your feet. Try Bliss Foot Patrol to soften dry, rough skin. Once you're ready to show off your toes, add some spring-inspired polish in pretty pink or pale blue.
Other spring skincare tips
Perk skin up with a hydrating gel mask combined with gauze soaked in ice and placed over the mask. It feels great and the cool temperature from the ice gives your skin a pink dewy finish, Norenius explains.
Apply body lotion to super dry areas that are covered during the winter such as the elbows, knees and feet.
Ditch heavy foundations for self-tanner and peachy, pink blush.
Wash makeup brushes with brush cleaner or gentle shampoo.
Toss out expired sunscreen and other products that have seen better days.
