1. Spring Clean Your Skincare Shelf

Just like decluttering your home, it's time to give your skincare shelf a good once-over. Toss out anything that's older than your youngest child's age in months, and while you're at it, maybe reassess that neon blue eyeshadow from 2002. It might not be the comeback year for that just yet.

Checking the PAO (Period After Opening) symbol on your skincare products is like having a chat with your mammy about the expiry date of the milk in the fridge. She'll remind you, "Sure, it's been there longer than your last relationship, it's time to let it go!" Just like mammy's advice, the little jar with the number followed by the letter 'M' on your lotions and potions isn't there for decoration.

It's the skincare equivalent of a polite nudge to toss it out before it starts smelling like last last week's leftover Chinese takeaway.

So, if you've got a cream that's been lounging around for 24M but it's been in your cabinet since the Eurovision we actually won, it's time to bid it farewell.

Remember, skincare products aren't like fine wines; they don't get better with age. They're more like that carton of milk you forgot at the back of the fridge. So, do your skin (and your nostrils) a favour: check those PAO stickers and keep your skincare collection as fresh as your complexion should be.

2. Hydration is Key

With the changing seasons, your skin's needs shift as well. It's like how you swap your heavy winter coat for a light rain jacket; your skin craves lighter, more hydrating products.

Think of hydration as the cup of tea for your skin – it soothes, comforts, and prepares you for anything... including unexpected visits from the in-laws.

While our Drench Hyaluronic Acid Serum may not prepare you for that, but it will definitely give you a dewy glow that will have them saying "Jaysus you're looking well!"

3. Embrace Antioxidants

Antioxidants in skincare are like having a good natter with an old friend – they leave you feeling refreshed, protected, and ready to face the world.

Look for products packed with vitamin C or E, perfect for tackling those pesky signs of aging without having to consult a magic potion.

With that said, the Undress Gel Cleanser is packed with antioxidants and has been described by our customer as a 'magic potion', so that could work too.

4. Sun Protection - Yes, Even In Ireland!

You read that right! Even in Ireland, where sun sightings are as rare as a quiet pub on St. Patrick's Day, sun protection is a must.

UV rays are sneaky; they can find you even through clouds, much like Mam can find out you've been out when you said you were 'just staying in'.

We don't currently have a product with SPF in our range because it's a regulatory minefield and will take a while to get right, but you can bet your Konjac Sponge that we're working on it!

5. Gentle Exfoliation

Speaking of Konjac Sponges, it's time to talk about gentle, effective exfoliation.

Out with the old and in with the new, they say. Gentle exfoliation is like spring cleaning for your face, sloughing off dead skin cells and making room for new growth.

Just don't overdo it – remember, it's a skincare routine, not a home renovation project. Konjac sponges (or at least 100% natural ones) are made from the root of the Konjac plant, which has been cultivated in Asia for centuries.

The vegetable fibres of Konjac sponges are naturally porous and become super soft when immersed in water, making them gentle enough to use on all skin types, even sensitive skin.

So while it may feel like aeroboard when you buy it, as soon as you put it in water it becomes a luxuriously soft, yet powerful cleansing weapon that will help remove dead skin cells.

6. Mind your diet.

Listen, we all love to indulge a little at Easter, and that's fine - life is about balance, but what you put in your body is just as important as what you put on your skin.

Eating a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats is like the wholesome Irish stew for your skin. Nutritious, comforting, and exactly what you need.

In conclusion, let this Easter be a time for renewal, not just for nature, but for your skincare routine as well. Keep it simple, effective, and lighthearted, because, at the end of the day, laughter is the best anti-aging remedy.

Here's to looking as radiant as the Connemara coast after a spring shower!
