Winter to Spring Skincare: Tips for a Glowing Seasonal Transition

Updated 2/26/25

With the promise of brighter days and warmer weather on the horizon, it's the perfect time to transition your skincare routine to achieve your best, glowing skin for the months ahead.

Here are some tips to transition your skincare routine from winter to spring using the 7 Day Glow product line:

1.  Swap Heavy Creams for Lighter Moisturizers or Serums

As temperatures start to rise and humidity increases, it's time to lighten up your skincare routine. If you feel like your winter moisturizer is too heavy, try swapping it out for a lighter option like Defend Fortifying Moisturizer and Hydrate Probiotic Hydration Mist. Tip: Apply Hydrate Probiotic Mist immediately after cleansing, follow with serum/face oil and moisturizer. This mist delivers four types of hyaluronic acid to draw and hold moisture to your skin without feeling heavy. It’s perfect for giving your skin the hydration it needs without the weight of a cream.

Pro Tip: Apply Infuse Retinoic Face Oil with Collagen and Ceramides to damp skin right after washing or after spritzing with Hydrate Probiotic Mist. This technique helps you use less oil while still getting all the nourishing benefits of a face oil.

For those needing a little extra glow and hydration, consider using Illuminate Brightening Serum. This serum brightens your complexion, feeds the skin with our farm-made beauty complex, and strengthens the skin mantle. It also uses probiotics to balance the skin microbiome, giving your skin a super moisturizing boost with four types of hyaluronic acid.

2. Protect Your Skin with SPF 50+ Sunscreen

As the sun’s rays become stronger, it's essential to protect your skin. Apply a quality sunscreen with an SPF of at least 50 every morning, even on cloudy days. Choose a separate sunscreen rather than relying on moisturizers or makeup with SPF for full coverage.

3. Exfoliate for a Healthy Glow

Exfoliation is key to removing winter buildup and revealing fresh, glowing skin. Increase your exfoliation routine to slough off dead skin cells and refine your glow.

Use Ignite Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser for a gentle yet effective exfoliation. This cleanser removes impurities while refining your skin’s texture, leaving it smooth and radiant.

For a more intensive exfoliation, use Boost Resurfacing Treatment. This oil-based exfoliator helps you achieve a deeper exfoliation, refining your glow from within. Boost can be used in various ways, and we provide an easy-to-follow video tutorial to help you get the most from your products.

Important Tip: Once you start seeing results, it can be tempting to exfoliate more often. Resist the urge to over-exfoliate—you only need to remove the upper layers of buildup, not healthy skin. Once you see your glow, scale back to using an exfoliator just once a week. It’s much easier to increase frequency as needed than to fix damage caused by over-exfoliation.

4. Spring Clean Your Skincare Products

Just as we clean out our homes, it’s important to clean out old skincare products. While 7 Day Glow products stay healthy to use for up to a year from purchase, we recommend using opened products within six months.

Over time, exposure to air, touch, and temperature changes can introduce bacteria to your products, leading to clogged pores and dull skin. Here are some quick tips for a skincare refresh:

• Replace opened products every six months.

• Mark the open date on your products with a pen, so you know when it's time to replace them.

• Wash your makeup brushes weekly with regular hand soap, and dry them with a blow dryer.

• Store skincare products in a cool, dark place to keep them fresh longer.

• Avoid dipping fingers directly into jars—use a Q-tip or a tiny spatula instead.

• Avoid touching droppers directly to your skin to prevent contamination.

Remember, 7 Day Glow products are packaged to be used up within 4 to 6 weeks of regular use. This ensures that your products are always as fresh as possible and ready to deliver the best results.

Final Thoughts

Sometimes the simplest changes can have the biggest impact on your skin. By making a few minor adjustments to your skincare routine, you’ll be glowing all through the upcoming months and beyond. Transition with confidence using the 7 Day Glow product line for the ultimate glowing skin experience.
