Can you feel it? The birds are singing, the snow is melting, and the sun is peeking out like, “hey, what’s up?” Yep, you guessed it, Spring is here!

And you know what that means? It’s time to let go of the old and welcome in the new. And what better way to do that than with a little Spring cleaning? Now, I know what you’re thinking, “Ugh, cleaning? No thanks.” But hear me out because Spring cleaning isn’t just about decluttering your home and freshening up your living spaces. It’s also the perfect opportunity to give your beauty routine a little love.

Why is Spring Cleaning Important, You Ask?

Spring cleaning is your chance to breathe new life into your living space and make it shine like the superstar you know it can be.

Say goodbye to clutter and hello to a more spacious and stress-free environment. By getting rid of things you don’t need or use, you’ll free up space for new opportunities and experiences. Plus, let’s be real, who needs all that extra baggage weighing them down anyway?

Not only will your space look better, but it’ll also feel better too. A clean and organized living space can do wonders for your mental health and creativity. So, let’s get to work. It’s time to sweep away that dust, organize those knick-knacks, and make your home the haven of relaxation and productivity you deserve.

How to Spring Clean

Okay, it’s time to whip your beauty routine into shape for spring! Follow these steps to get started:

Step 1: Chuck the Old Nail Polish

It’s time to get rid of the dead weight. Go through your nail polish collection and toss anything that’s past its prime or just taking up space. 

Some quick facts about nail polish life: 

• Nail polish shelf life once opened is 24 months for nail base and nail colors
• Top coats vary from 18 months – 24 months
• Always keep nail polish in cool space and away from the sun to maximize shelf life

You see, as much as we love our colorful and vibrant nail polishes, they don’t last forever. Over time, the ingredients in the polish begin to break down and become less effective. 

When you use an expired nail polish, you’re not only getting a lackluster and gloopy application, but you’re also exposing your nails to potential health risks.

Expired nail polish can become a breeding ground for harmful bacteria and fungus, which can lead to nasty infections and other health issues. Plus, who wants to deal with a smelly and clumpy mess when you’re trying to glam up your nails? It’s time to toss that crusty nail polish and make room for the good stuff.

Step 2: Do a Product Audit

It’s no secret that beauty products can be expensive, and we all have our reasons for wanting to hold on to them — Maybe it’s the cute packaging, the limited edition release, or the eco-friendly refillable container. Whatever the reason, it’s important to know that using expired products can actually harm your skin and nails instead of helping them.

Over time, active ingredients in skincare and nail products can lose their potency and effectiveness. This means that the longer you hold on to that bottle of lotion, the less effective it becomes at addressing the specific needs of your skin and nails. And, let’s be honest, nobody wants to waste their hard-earned money on products that are past their prime.

So, let’s make a pledge to use our products in a timely manner, especially during the season in which they are most effective. That way, we can ensure that our skin and nails are getting the proper care and nourishment they need to stay healthy and beautiful. Let’s say goodbye to expired products and hello to fresh, effective, and healthy beauty routines!

Step 3: Keep It Natural

It’s time to say goodbye to those harsh chemicals and hello to natural, plant-based ingredients that are gentle on your skin and the planet. 

Get rid of anything that’s filled with sulfates, parabens, and other harmful ingredients. These chemicals can strip your skin of its natural oils and lead to irritation, breakouts, and even long-term health problems. No, thank you — we don’t need that in our lives.

Instead, let’s go for natural, plant-based ingredients that will give you the glowing, healthy skin you deserve. There are so many amazing ingredients out there, like aloe vera, chamomile, and lavender, that will nourish and soothe your skin without any of the harmful side effects. Not to mention, these ingredients are often sourced sustainably, which means they’re good for the planet, too.
