As we defrost from winter and the flowers begin to bloom, it’s the perfect time to refresh your beauty routine and bring your skin out of hibernation with trends that compliment the new season. If you’re a makeup minimalist - good news! Spring is all about letting your skin shine through. While it’s fun to follow trends, it’s also important to find a beauty routine that helps you feel most comfortable and confident in your own skin. Ready to glow? Read on to refresh your beauty routine.
SKIN IS IN
If you’ve been covering up your dull complexion throughout the cooler season, it’s time to shed your winter skin! Spring is all about radiating your natural beauty, so now is the time to focus on skin health more than ever. Increasing your water intake and swapping winter’s comfort foods for unprocessed, fresh produce will help you glow from the inside out. Now is also the perfect time to introduce regular exfoliation and skincare packed with Vitamin C to smooth, naturally brighten and protect your skin. Speaking of protection, if you’ve been lazy with SPF through winter, it’s time to re-introduce daily SPF as the sun becomes more intense to protect your skin from damage and premature ageing.
We recommend:
LAMAV’s AHA Face Exfoliant to clear dull skin, provide a deep clean and brighten your complexion.
LAMAV’s Daily Vitamin C Serum to even discolouration and boost radiance prior to moisturising. This daily serum is highly concentrated, containing Vitamin C and Antioxidant rich bio-actives that seriously boost brightening while strengthening collagen and elastin for a youthful complexion.
Our Anti-Dark Circle Eye Gel will instantly wake up tired eyes. This lightweight, refreshing Eye Gel can be used morning or night to reduce the appearance of dark circles and puffiness. Pair it with our Rose Quartz Roller for a soothing eye massage that will smooth and brighten dull skin prior to makeup application.
MINIMAL MAKEUP
Now that you’ve given your complexion a healthy boost, it’s time to show off your glow - not cover it up. With some simple makeup hacks, it is possible to achieve a healthy, flawless look without the heavy finish. If you’re into full coverage, now is the perfect time to swap out heavy foundations for more lightweight, hydrating formulas that enhance your natural beauty and keep your skin looking like skin.
If you don’t want to buy new foundation, try mixing it with your daily moisturiser to tone down the coverage and increase the glow. You’ll still achieve lightweight coverage to even out imperfections, with the added benefit of a dewy spring finish.
Spring is also an ideal time to invest in a natural BB cream, the perfect addition to compliment your daily skin routine throughout Spring and Summer. BB creams offer a no-fuss, time saving way to streamline your skincare and makeup routine by removing the need to apply multiple products before you run out the door. Depending on the specific formula, most will also offer a hydration boost and contain skin loving ingredients and a small amount of physical SPF that support a healthy complexion as your wear it throughout the day.
We recommend: LAMAV’s Award Winning, Organic BB Cream for a flawless, natural finish on the daily. This lightweight formula contains nourishing bio-actives to provide you with effective coverage and long-lasting hydration without the greasy residue. Suitable for all skin-types, it can be applied as is or layered with other products to compliment your skin type.

GOLDEN GLOW
Now that you’ve perfected your base, it’s time to bring your skin back to life with a natural flush of colour. Mineral Makeup is ideal for Spring, providing a radiant glow while delivering natural sun protection and bio-actives to nourish and protect your skin daily.

GLOSSY LIPS & BROWS
Nothing says fresh and healthy more than dewy, glossy makeup. Keep eyebrow hairs in place and add some natural shine by applying your favourite balm-based skincare product to a spoolie brush and pushing your brows upward and outward for an instant lift.
Don’t forget to plump and hydrate your lips with a few layers of your favourite balm.
We recommend:
LAMAV’s Intense Repair Eye Balm as it was specifically formulated to hydrate and firm the skin, leaving a protective layer over the skin as it absorbs. More than just an eye balm, it can be used to hydrate and protect any dry skin areas.
