Our go-to spring step-by-step facial treatment
As the seasons shift, your skin is ready for a fresh start. Just like your home deserves a spring clean, your skin thrives when you give it a little extra attention—and that doesn’t have to mean a dozen new products or overwhelming routines.
Here’s my tried-and-true method—a simple but powerful step by step facial treatment to renew, refresh, and protect your skin this spring. Whether you’re creating a moment of self-care at home or coming in for a treatment, this 3-step facial care ritual is the blueprint for a simple routine that provides glowing, balanced skin.
Facial Step One: Oxygenate to Let Your Skin (and Soul) Breathe
Every skin treatment I offer begins with one of the most essential facial steps: a double steam cleanse. This isn’t just about removing surface impurities—it’s about creating space for your skin to breathe, soften, and open up.
At home, you can mimic this by using a warm towel compress or a facial steamer. Add a few drops of rosemary or mint essential oil to awaken the senses and boost circulation. Deep breaths in, slow exhales out. Oxygenation increases blood flow, encourages cellular renewal, and preps your skin to absorb the next steps more effectively.
If you’re looking at booking a facial at Energy with Julie, this step is customized to your skin type and current condition. I make sure to choose the right cleansers and techniques for your needs, so you receive optimal results. You’re not just getting a cleanse—you’re getting a professional reset.
Facial Step Two: Shed to Gently Release What No Longer Serves You
The second step in our 3-step facial care approach is all about gentle exfoliation—no scrubs, no harshness. I use a papaya + pineapple enzyme mask from PCA Skincare to softly dissolve dull, dead skin cells. Enzymes are smart: they only remove what your skin is ready to let go of, leaving you with a smooth, glowing complexion without irritation. If you’re curious about PCA Skincare you can shop it here.
This method is perfect for spring when your skin is still recovering from winter’s dryness and buildup. Clearing that away makes room for hydration and radiance.
When you come in for a treatment, I tailor this exfoliation step to match your unique needs. That’s the beauty of a custom skincare treatment plan—it changes with your skin’s rhythms.
Facial Step Three: Protect to Lock in the Glow with Mineral SPF
After exfoliation, your skin is fresh—and more sensitive. The final (and most often overlooked) step in any facial is protection. I always finish with EltaMD’s tinted SPF. It’s lightweight, mineral-based, and filled with light-reflecting particles that protect from UV rays while adding a subtle glow.
Even in spring, sun exposure ramps up fast. A good broad-spectrum SPF with zinc oxide is a non-negotiable. It helps prevent damage and locks in all the goodness from your facial.
