3 Steps for the Perfect Skincare Spring Clean
At freezeframe, we love a good spring clean. For us, it’s not just about throwing out the old and welcoming in the new, it’s also a period of reflection and assessment. How has your skin changed in the last 6 months? Does your current skincare routine meet all your needs?
How to Revamp Your Skincare Routine
1. Clean
Give your skincare tools a good deep clean. Take everything out of your bathroom cabinet and take the time to really wipe down the bathroom sink, cabinets, and clean your beauty tools.
Tip: It’s best to wash makeup brushes right after you’ve used them but who has time for that? If you can, wash them at least once a week.
2. Declutter
Most products can be used roughly 12 months after opening. However, products with active ingredients such as retinol may expire sooner.
Not sure when your skincare expires? Check the packaging for the above symbol. The number represents its expiry date. For example, 12M means you have 12 months to use it after opening.
If you struggle to remember the date of opening, try writing the month directly onto the container!
Dispose of any expired skincare and recycle and reuse where you can. Containers can be washed and repurposed while bigger bottles can hold flowers or plants.
You can also give away, exchange, or sell lightly used skincare products that you aren’t in love with friends or family or even sell online. Charities such as the Pink Cross Foundation Australia will also take lightly used or unused skincare products. Check out their website to see their conditions for skincare donations.
3. Reset and refresh
Rearrange products so that your daily routine is easy to access, then take a good look at what's left. What’s running low and what’s missing from your routine?
Stock up on well-loved favourites, or treat yourself to something new to celebrate the start of Spring.
