When the seasons change, your beauty routine needs to get change, too! Here are some of my essential Winter-to-Spring beauty swaps!
WINTER TO SPRING SWAP 1: GO FOR A GLOSSY LIPCOLOR
Ditch moody, matte lipsticks for a lighter, more airy gloss.
Make Up For Ever Artist Acrylip

Available in 10 bright and bold shades, this gloss is inspired by bold, high-pigment acrylic paints. The formula isn’t sticky or dying and it feels like a gloss but stays on like a lipstick. The brush has an innovative cushion applicator that allows for easy application.
WINTER TO SPRING SWAP: REPLACE YOUR MOISTURIZER
Switch from a thick, creamy moisturizer to a something lighter, like a hydrating serum.

WINTER TO SPRING SWAP: FIND A FLAKE-FIGHTING SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER

Chances are your legs are a little pale this time of year. This is a fool-proof and convenient way to get a perfect golden glow just in time for summer.

WINTER TO SPRING SWAP: PROTECT YOUR SKIN FROM THE SUN
Even though it’s not beach season yet, it’s important to wear face sunscreen every day and body sunscreen if you’re going to be outdoors for an extended period of time.
