What does spring cleaning your beauty mean?
It involves pulling all your products out, laying them out, and going through each one. Identify products that need to be tossed and products you can keep. This process allows you to clean out your drawers and spaces where you keep your products, reorganize, declutter, and make your storage more functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Tips for Spring Cleaning Your Skincare
Check expiration dates: Skincare products become less effective or, in some cases, can turn rancid if they've exceeded their expiry date. Go through each product and check the use-by date. If it's expired, it's time to throw it away. It is significant for sunscreens and serums that contain actives such as Retinol and Vitamin C.
Disinfect beauty tools: This should be done daily using beauty tools such as cleansing brushes or the NU-FACE lifting tool.. If they last cleaned some time ago, now is the perfect opportunity to clean and disinfect all your beauty tools.
Get rid of old, unused products: During your spring cleaning, you may discover products you forgot you had or even have doubled up in some cases. Are there products perhaps you even tried but didn't continue using because you didn't like them? It's time to declutter and set these aside.

Tips for Spring Cleaning Your Makeup
Toss expired products: As you did with your skin care products, go through your makeup and discard any old or expired products.
Wash makeup brushes: Your makeup brushes should be cleaned every week, so if you last did so a while ago, this is the perfect time to go through all your makeup tools and brushes and wash them well. If any look old, or the hair is falling out of the brushes, it's time to throw them away and get some new tools.
Organize makeup products: Remember any makeup you keep in your handbags. It may be time to get a new makeup pouch to keep your makeup organized in your handbag. If you keep makeup in your vanity or your bathroom, there are great organizers to help keep your makeup in order. Look for makeup storage organizers in your local stores, such as draw dividers, makeup containers and stands.
Evaluate current makeup routine for spring: Spring 2024 makeup trends indicate a minimalist approach to makeup. A light foundation that lets your inner skin glow, with just a hint of blush and a pop of colour on the lips, is all you will need for spring. Graphic eyeliner for those wishing to add interest or ombre lips are two trends to look out for in 2024.
Remember to store products properly.
Skincare and makeup should always be stored away from direct sunlight in a cool and dry drawer or cabinet.
