At home skincare secrets
The best results will always come from a combination of in-salon treatments and an effective at-home regime that includes high quality products, and healthy clean beauty habits. Here are some simple changes you can make this spring that will go a long way in helping you achieve your skincare goals this season.
Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate
As the weather shifts, switch from heavy winter creams to lightweight, hydrating products that won’t clog pores. Drink plenty of water and use serums with hyaluronic acid to retain moisture and keep your skin plump.
Pro tip: Drink 2L of water a day for maximum hydration.

Gentle Body Exfoliation
Exfoliating is essential for achieving a smooth, flawless base. In addition to your physical exfoliant (like a glove) once a week, start introducing a light exfoliation 2-3 times a week with a chemical exfoliant (AHA/BHA). This will help remove any build of dead skin cells and improve skin texture. Dry brushing is also a great way to stimulate circulation and encourage lymphatic drainage throughout the body.
Sunscreen is a Must
No matter the weather, SPF50+ should be a non-negotiable step in your skincare routine. Sunscreen helps prevent pigmentation, sunburn, and long-term damage from harmful UV rays.
Our favourite SPF: Aspect SPF 50+
Switch Up & Clean Out Your Makeup
It's time to declutter your makeup bag and deep clean your brushes. Bacteria can build up on makeup tools, causing breakouts. Swap out heavy foundations for lightweight tinted moisturisers or BB creams and consider throwing out old mascaras and any products that come into consistent contact with your skin. You’ll be surprised to learn most products only have a shelf life of up to 6 months, 12 at most.
Incorporate Antioxidants
Antioxidants, like vitamin C, protect your skin from environmental stressors. Use a vitamin C serum in the morning to brighten your complexion and defend against free radicals which become more prevalent in Spring as the seasons change.

Upgrade Your Bed Linen & Towels
Fresh, breathable fabrics like cotton or linen are essential for healthy skin. Wash your sheets and pillowcases weekly and use fresh towels every few days. Consider switching to a silk pillowcase to reduce friction and keep your skin (and hair!) smooth.
Small changes that go a long way, Spring is the perfect time to hit reset and refresh your skincare routine. By incorporating one or more of these few simple tips, you’ll have smooth, flawless skin ready for a total-summer glow.
Remember, consistency is key, so for best results, make sure to incorporate these as habits in your daily routine.
