4. Lighten up your moisturizer for great spring skincare
Spring and summer bring increased humidity to the environment (nature’s moisturizer). Heavier beauty products may be too occlusive.
Change from a moisturizer that you scoop from a jar to a lighter version such as Vaseline Intensive Care Cocoa Radiant lotion, specially formulated with 100% pure cocoa butter and micro-droplets of Vaseline Jelly to help heal dry skin while revealing its natural glow.
5. Spring Clean: toss & declutter
Spring cleaning your closets, kitchen and pantries is important, right? Well, it is also important to do the same for your beauty cabinet.
Take note of the product once the seal is broken and it is opened. The product becomes exposed to bacteria, air, and light. This can cause breakdown over time making the product less effective.
Even products that remain sealed can break down due to storage conditions (heat, humidity, light). This could have occurred prior to your purchase.
Many beauty products are not regulated by the FDA and are therefore not required to have an expiration date.
