Spring Cleaning for Your Skin

Originally posted April 11, 2012

As the season changes, we need to do some spring cleaning for our make-up, brushes, and skin care products. Angie has some great tips for bringing your make-up drawer up-to-date. 

This is a good time to check for expired make-up. Anything that has changed color or consistency needs to be replaced. Remember that mascara needs to be replaced more often than other products - about every 3 months.

Your brushes may need some attention, too. Brushes should be cleaned about once a month to prevent bacterial growth. Use a mild soap & water, then reshape them and let them air dry. To maintain them, spritz them once a week with either a brush cleanser or rubbing alcohol.

Skin care products also follow the color & consistency rule. If it's changed, replace it. Give them a sniff test, too. These products have a shelf life of about 1 year, so anything older than that should be tossed.

For your face, we recommend a deep cleansing facial as a great jump-start to prepping your skin for the summer months. Your esthetician can evaluate your skin and tell you if you need to make any changes to your Bioelements regimen to keep you glowing til fall.
