Spring "Clean" – Declutter Your Old Skincare (and Make Room for a Healthy Glow)
May 28, 2025

Spring is the perfect time to refresh, reset, and yes—clean. While you're deep-cleaning closets and opening windows, don't forget your skincare collection. Some of those bottles have been hanging around a little too long…
Let’s talk about what really needs to go.
Skincare Has an Expiration Date—And So Does Efficacy
We know you’re a pro when it comes to reading ingredient labels and choosing clean, clinically backed skincare. But even your most beloved products can lose their potency over time—especially serums, exfoliants, and anything with active ingredients like peptides, antioxidants, or retinoids.
And let’s be honest: that half-used jar of moisturizer from last summer? If it’s been opened longer than 18–24 months, it might be doing more harm than good.
Aged products can cause irritation, breakouts, or simply stop delivering results. That’s not what your skin deserves.
Your Spring Checklist: What to Toss (and Why)

✔️ Anything past the Period After Opening – Look for the tiny jar icon on the label that says “12M” or “24M.” If you’ve had it longer than that, it’s time to let go.
✔️ Products with changed color, smell, or texture – Weird texture, funny smell, or yellowing? Nature’s way of saying "it's time."
✔️ Sunscreen from last year – SPF can lose its effectiveness. And since sun protection is your skin’s #1 anti-aging ally, it’s worth using one you can trust.
✔️ That serum you wanted to love but never worked for you – We know you’re loyal, but your skincare routine should spark joy (and results). Don’t let guilt keep underperformers in the mix.
**Pro tip: Try to avoid dipping your fingers into your skincare jars as this can introduce bacteria. Instead use a clean skincare spatula. And remember that it's not uncommon for natural skincare to separate a bit. That spatula will come in handy!
