Spring is finally here! While some parts of the US may have experienced a late start to spring, it’s safe to say that the temperatures seem to be warming up and remaining more stable and spring-like. It’s time to finally toss those heavy, bulky coats, boots, and scarves to the side and make room for your new spring wardrobe and makeover! Are you prepared to soak up the sun and embrace the new spring season? Here are 3 tips to help you get started!
1. Prepare your skin! How’s your skin looking these days? Chances are it’s a bit pale, dry, and maybe even chapped from the winter. While the warmer temperatures will certainly help you to retain moisture, you may want to purchase a moisturizer to use every night before bed to further help your skin to absorb moisture. Beware of clogging your pores, though. Invest in a good face scrub that will deep-cleanse your pores and prevent your skin from getting too oily. Sugar and mineral salt based scrubs tend to work especially well for this purpose.
When you know you’re going to be outside for long periods of time, don’t forget to use the sunscreen! While we recommend using sunscreen on a year-round basis, it’s extra important during the spring and summer months when the sun is more visible and rays are stronger. This will help prevent you from burning, damaging your skin, and increasing your risk of developing skin cancer in the long-run. Sometimes people like to skimp out on the sunscreen so that they can achieve a natural tan. However, this not only puts you at risk for burning and damaging your skin, it’s also completely unnecessary. This spring, keep the sunscreen on and use a spray tan solution to achieve a healthy, glowing tan. It’s much easier and safer!
2. Choose an appropriate color palate. Sure, darker colors like browns, black, and grey may be great for the winter, but when you wear them in the spring it can look rather dreary and depressing. The world outside is full of color and your wardrobe should reflect that! Think pastels and bring colors like purple, yellow, and bright blues. You’ll want to toss your smoky eye look in favor of these brighter shades, too.
3. Dress for the occasion. Say goodbye to your heavy sweaters, coats, beloved Uggs, and crotchet scarves until fall! Instead, break out the miniskirts, sandals, and dresses! Spring is the perfect time to embrace lighter clothing and show a bit more skin. Don’t hide your body underneath tons of unnecessary layers, instead show if off and give it a chance to breathe. Your skin will thank you for it!
4. Don’t forget to accessorize! Not only is spring a great time to embrace bright colors and pastels and to dig out your favorite skirts, dresses, and sandals; it’s also the perfect time to have some fun with your accessories! With the sun ever more present and vibrant, you’ll want to pick up a pair or two of fun sunglasses to wear outside. Hats, silk scarves, and bold handbags also make great spring accessories. Or, you can kick it up a notch and embrace the floral trend this spring with a flower headband inspired by Coachella! Mix and match your accessories for more fun and unique styles.
