🧴 Toss or Keep? Spring Cosmetic Clean-Out Guide

Why a Cosmetic Clean-Out is a Must

🚨 Expired products = potential skin problems – Old formulas can lose their power, change in texture, or even grow bacteria. No, thanks!

💆 Less clutter, more consistency – A streamlined routine means you’ll use your products instead of skipping steps.

🌷 Spring calls for a skincare switch-up – The heavy creams that saved you in winter might not be what your skin needs now.

Skincare products have an expiration date—are you using outdated products?

Step 1: The Big Sort – Keep, Toss, or Share?

Take everything out—serums, cleansers, moisturizers, masks—and sort into three categories:

✅ Keep: Your tried-and-true essentials that are still fresh and work for your skin.

❌ Toss Anything that has expired, dried out, separated, or has a funky smell (yep, it happens!).

🎁 Give Away: Unopened or barely used products that don’t fit your routine can go to a friend who might

love them!

Step 2: Check Expiration Dates & Quality

• Look for the PAO (Period After Opening) symbol or an expiration date on the packaging.

• If the formula looks off, smells different, or feels weird, it’s time to say goodbye.

Step 3: Store Like a Pro

To keep your skincare fresh and effective:

✅ Keep products in a cool, dry place—away from direct sunlight.

✅ Avoid the bathroom if it gets too humid (humidity = bacteria growth!).

✅ Organize by routine so your morning and night essentials are easy to grab.

Step 4: Refresh Your Routine for Spring

Now that you’ve decluttered, make sure your routine is spring-ready:

🌸 Swap heavy creams for lightweight, hydrating moisturizers

🌸 Add a gentle exfoliant to slough off winter buildup

🌸 Keep sunscreen front and center—UV rays are getting stronger!
