Springtime Skin: Transitioning Your Routine to Fit the Season
As the earth awakens from winter’s slumber, so does our skin. The shift from cold, dry air to the warmth and humidity of spring calls for a fresh approach to your skincare rituals—one that focuses on renewal, hydration, and protection. This season is all about shedding the old, refreshing your routine, and embracing your most radiant springtime glow.
Spring Skin Shifts: What to expect
Spring brings increased moisture, more sunlight, and fluctuating temperatures. Here’s what you may notice:
Less dryness as humidity rises
More oil production as your skin adjusts
Increased sun sensitivity with more time spent soaking in the sunshine
To keep your skin balanced and thriving, let’s talk about how to adjust your routine for the season of renewal.
Shed Winter Skin with Gentle Exfoliation
Just as nature sheds the old to make way for fresh growth, our skin too benefits from a little renewal. Regular exfoliation helps slough off the dry, dull layer that often builds up during the colder months, leaving your complexion brighter and smoother.
What to use: Choose gentle exfoliation over harsh scrubs—think fruit enzymes, lactic acid, or finely milled scrubs.
How often: 1-3x a week, depending on your skin type and sensitivity. If you have sensitive skin, aim for once a week, while oilier or more resilient skin may handle more frequent exfoliation.

2. Lighten Up Your Moisturizer
Heavy creams that keep your skin nourished in winter may feel too thick as the weather warms. Swap them for a lighter, water—based or gel moisturizer that hydrates without weighing skin down.
Look for: Hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, and lightweight oils like jojoba.

3. Hydration is Key—Inside & Out
Spring air can be unpredictable—some days are warm and dewy, others breezy and drying. Keep your skin supple by locking in hydration.
How to hydrate:
Use a facial mist with cucumber or colloidal silver throughout the day.
Layer hydrating serums under your moisturizer (hyaluronic acid is a must!)
Drink plenty of water!!
MiraBee Ritual: Whisper affirmations into your water before drinking it to create a positive flow of energy.
4. Sunscreen is Non-Negotiable
I know we hear this all the time, but with the return of sunshine, daily SPF is absolutely essential. Even if you were diligent in winter, now’s the time to level up your sun protection.
What to use: Broad-spectrum SPF 30+ (mineral sunscreens with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide are gentle on the skin and the planet) Reapply every two hours if you’re outside.
MiraBee tip: Press sunscreen into your face instead of rubbing to avoid a white cast.
5. Spring Clean Your Skincare & Tools
Just like you refresh your home for spring, your skincare deserves a reset too.
Time to check:
Expiration dates on skincare products
How often you wash your makeup brushes (hint: it should be weekly!)
If you need to swap out old sponges or washcloths

6. Get Consistent with Your Beauty Treatments
As the days get longer and the weather continues to warm, our energy rises, making it the perfect opportunity to establish your daily rituals and systems that will carry you through the season. If you’re looking for longer-lasting results by summer, now’s the time to commit. Whether that’s sticking to your monthly waxing schedule for smooth, hair-free skin, or treating yourself to a monthly facial to achieve a glowing, radiant complexion. Building consistency now will help you feel more confident as the summer months approach.
