Spring Clean Your Skincare Routine

Winter is finally on its way out, and as the seasons change, so should your skincare routine! Just like you swap out heavy coats for lighter layers, your skin needs a refresh to shed winter dullness and prep for the warmer months ahead.

At Skin Deep in Fort Collins, we believe spring is the perfect time to reset, refresh, and refine your skincare routine with targeted treatments and ingredient upgrades that support your skin’s seasonal needs. Not sure where to start? Here’s how to spring clean your skincare routine like a pro!

1. Out with the Old: Declutter Your Skincare Shelf

Spring cleaning doesn’t just apply to your home—your skincare collection needs a refresh too! Over time, products expire, formulas lose their potency, and your skin’s needs change.

  • Check Expiration Dates: Most skincare products have a 6-12 month shelf life after opening. Toss anything expired, dried out, or with a funky smell.

  • Assess What’s Working: If a product isn’t delivering results, it’s time to swap it out.

  • Bring It to Your Esthetician: Not sure what stays or goes? At your next visit, bring your products and we’ll help you refine your routine for the new season.

2. Refresh Your Skin with Exfoliation

After months of dry, winter air, your skin is likely dull and congested. The changing of the seasons is the perfect time to gently slough off dead skin cells and reveal a brighter, smoother complexion.

🌟 Best Spring Exfoliation Treatments at Skin Deep:

  • Chemical Peels – Ideal for shedding winter buildup, boosting collagen, and brightening skin.

  • Microdermabrasion – Gently resurfaces skin to improve texture and allow better product absorption.

  • Dermaplaning – Removes dead skin AND peach fuzz for an ultra-smooth glow.

Pro Tip: Switch to gentle exfoliants with AHAs (like lactic acid) or enzymes to keep your skin glowing without irritation.

3. Lighten Up: Swap Heavy Moisturizers for Hydration-Boosting Formulas

Winter calls for thick, occlusive creams, but as the weather warms up, these can feel heavy and clog pores. Spring is the time to transition to lightweight, breathable hydration.

Look for:

  • Hyaluronic Acid – Delivers deep hydration without heaviness.

  • Niacinamide – Strengthens the skin barrier and reduces redness.

  • Gel-Based or Lightweight Cream Moisturizers – Keep skin hydrated without excess oiliness.

At Skin Deep, we carefully curate our retail selection to fit your skin’s unique needs. Our expert estheticians can help you choose lightweight hydrators, ceramide-rich creams, or SPF that won’t clog pores—because finding the right formula makes all the difference!

4. SPF, SPF, SPF! ☀️

Spring means longer, sunnier days, so if you’ve been slacking on SPF during the winter, now is the time to get serious! Even on cloudy days, UV rays contribute to premature aging and hyperpigmentation.

  • Use Broad-Spectrum SPF 30+ daily (yes, even when it’s cloudy!).

  • Reapply every 2 hours when outdoors.

  • Opt for SPF with antioxidants for added protection against environmental stressors.

Need an SPF that won’t clog pores or feel greasy? Northern Colorado’s dry climate requires sun protection year-round! Our estheticians can help you find the perfect one at your next Skin Deep facial!
