Winter leaves marks not only on nature, but also on our skin. Cold air, indoor heating, and lack of moisture often lead to dryness, flaking, and loss of the skin’s natural glow. Spring is the right time to free the skin from everything that has built up over winter and prepare it for warmer days. This process doesn’t have to be complicated—with a few simple steps and natural products, your skin can glow again, which is why spring skin care is a very important factor.

Deep cleansing: The first step to fresh skin
During winter, the skin often becomes burdened with dead cells, impurities, and residue from heavy creams we use to protect against the cold. This combination can lead to clogged pores, loss of glow, and small imperfections. That’s why deep cleansing is the first and most important step to restoring freshness and the skin’s natural texture. However, it’s important to choose gentle, natural products that won’t further irritate the skin, but will remove impurities in a mild way.
Instead of harsh cleansers that often contain sulfates and alcohol, natural clay soaps are a perfect solution. Clays, such as green clay, are known for their powerful detox properties—they absorb excess sebum, remove toxins, and help reduce redness and inflammation. For example, a green clay soap not only deeply cleanses pores, but also hydrates the skin thanks to natural oils that balance its lipid barrier.
For an extra effect, it’s recommended to use the soap with a gentle circular facial massage to stimulate circulation and help the clay penetrate deep into the pores. After rinsing, the skin remains clean, smooth, and ready for the next steps in your routine. You can enhance this ritual by using a warm towel to steam your face before washing, which further opens pores and improves the cleansing effect.
DIY tip:
Prepare your skin for spring with a simple scrub you can make at home using natural ingredients. This scrub not only removes dead cells, but also refreshes the skin and restores its natural glow.
What you need:
- 1 tsp honey (preferably organic)
- 1 tsp ground oats
- A few drops of freshly squeezed lemon juice
Step 1: Prepare the mixture
In a small bowl, mix honey, ground oats, and a few drops of lemon juice.
Stir until you get a smooth, uniform paste.
You can grind the oats in a blender or a hand grinder so the texture is gentle and suitable for the face.
Step 2: Prep the skin
Before applying the scrub, cleanse your face with warm water or a gentle cleanser.
This will remove surface impurities and open pores, allowing the scrub to work deeper.
Step 3: Apply the scrub
Apply the mixture to a damp face, avoiding the eye area.
Using your fingertips, massage the skin in circular motions for 1–2 minutes.
Focus on the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin) or areas where you notice dryness and impurities.
Step 4: Rinse and refresh
Rinse the scrub off with warm water, gently patting your face dry with a towel.
After that, apply a hydrosol, such as our lavender hydrolat, to soothe the skin and provide extra hydration.
Step 5: Finish care
Finish your routine by applying a lightweight moisturizer or serum. Flora – Lavender face serum, which deeply hydrates and soothes the skin, leaving it soft and refreshed.
Note:
Use this scrub once or twice a week to avoid over-exfoliation.
If you have sensitive skin, reduce the amount of lemon juice or leave it out entirely.
If you don’t have time for experiments or DIY solutions, our Orange facial soap with green clay is an ideal choice. With the addition of orange and pomegranate essential oils, this soap not only cleanses but also refreshes the skin, giving it a radiant look.

Hydration: The key to healthy skin
Spring skin care requires adjusting hydrating products so the skin stays healthy and radiant during warmer days. During winter, we often use rich, heavy creams that protect the skin from cold air, but when spring arrives, such products can become too much—especially if your skin tends to be oily or prone to clogged pores. That’s why switching to lighter formulas is a key step in a spring routine.
Lightweight hydrating formulas, such as hydrosols, let the skin breathe while providing needed moisture without a greasy feel. Hydrosols are natural products obtained by plant distillation; besides refreshing, they often have additional soothing and regenerating properties. Our lavender hydrolatfor example, is a perfect choice for spring care—it not only refreshes and hydrates the skin, but also helps soothe irritation and redness thanks to lavender’s antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.
How to use lavender hydrosol for best results:
- Morning care: After cleansing, mist lavender hydrosol directly onto the skin to prep it for your day cream or serum.
- During the day: Keep it in your bag and use it as a refreshing mist when your skin feels dry or tired, especially on warmer days.
- Evening routine: After removing makeup, apply the hydrosol to soothe the skin and prep it for night care.
Besides being practical and easy to use, lavender hydrolat it comes in glass packaging, supporting environmental sustainability and nature preservation. A few sprays on the face and neck not only refresh the skin, but also give a moment of aromatherapy relaxation thanks to lavender’s gentle scent.
Usage tips:
- Hydrolat use as a toner after cleansing.
- Mist it over makeup during the day for extra freshness.

Exfoliation: Restoring natural glow
Exfoliation is key to removing dead cells, improving skin texture, and supporting natural regeneration. Regular exfoliation helps the skin breathe, reveals a healthy, radiant look, and allows hydrating products like serums and creams to penetrate deeper and work more effectively. Still, it’s important to choose gentle exfoliants that won’t irritate the skin, especially if it’s sensitive or prone to redness.
Red exfoliating soap with raspberry seeds is a perfect combination of natural ingredients and a gentle exfoliating effect. Ground raspberry seeds act as a natural abrasive that gently removes dead cells, while mica crystals further refresh the skin and leave it smoother. Thanks to plant oils like coconut and olive, this soap doesn’t dry out the skin—it nourishes and hydrates it at the same time.
How to use the exfoliating soap:
- Wet the skin with warm water to open pores and prep it for exfoliation.
- Apply the soap directly to the skin or rub it between your palms to create a rich lather.
- Massage the skin in circular motions, focusing on dry or rough areas like elbows, knees, or heels.
- Rinse thoroughly with warm water and finish by applying a moisturizer or hydrosol.
Extra care tips:
- Use the exfoliating soap once or twice a week to avoid over-exfoliation.
- If you have very sensitive skin, lather the soap in your hands first, then gently massage onto the face or body.
- Combine exfoliation with our lavender hydrosol to soothe the skin and add extra freshness after exfoliation.
Exfoliation doesn’t have to be harsh to be effective—with natural products like Red exfoliating soap, the skin stays smooth, soft, and healthy, and you can enjoy a simple, effective care ritual.

DIY body scrub with coffee and coconut oil – step by step
This natural scrub not only removes dead skin cells, but also improves circulation, leaving the skin smooth, softer, and refreshed. Caffeine from coffee stimulates the skin, while coconut oil deeply hydrates, and lavender essential oil adds a soothing effect and a pleasant scent.
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp ground coffee (fresh or used, well dried)
- 1 tbsp coconut oil (preferably unrefined)
- A few drops of lavender essential oil
Step 1: Prepare the mixture
In a small bowl, mix ground coffee with coconut oil. If the coconut oil is solid, gently melt it for a few seconds in the microwave or over steam, but make sure it doesn’t get too hot. Add a few drops of lavender essential oil and mix well until you get a thick paste.
Step 2: Prep the skin
Before applying the scrub, take a warm shower to soften the skin and open pores. This step helps the scrub work more effectively and allows active ingredients to penetrate better.
Step 3: Apply the scrub
Take a small amount of the prepared mixture and apply it to damp skin. Using your fingertips, massage in circular motions, focusing especially on rougher areas like elbows, knees, and heels. Avoid sensitive areas of skin or areas with open wounds.
Step 4: Rinse
After massaging for 2–3 minutes, rinse the scrub off with warm water. Use a soft towel to pat the skin dry, avoiding rubbing.
Step 5: Final hydration
After exfoliation, the skin is ready for deep hydration. We recommend applying a lightweight natural oil or moisturizer, such as our Flora – Lavender face serum, which is also great for the body. This will help keep the skin soft and hydrated.
Extra tips:
- Use this scrub once a week for best results.
- If you have sensitive skin, first test the scrub on a small area to make sure it won’t cause irritation.
- You can store the remaining mixture in a glass jar, but use it within a week so it stays fresh.
Natural sun protection
Although the spring sun feels mild and pleasant, UV rays can cause significant damage to the skin if it isn’t properly protected. Sun exposure without proper protection can lead to dehydration, dark spots, premature skin aging, and, in the worst case, damage to deeper layers of the skin. That’s why it’s essential to include SPF products in your daily routine, even on spring days when the sun isn’t at its strongest.
However, protection is only one piece of the puzzle—skin regeneration after sun exposure plays an equally important role. After a day outdoors, the skin needs extra care to calm down and recover. That’s where our Supreme natural cream, which, thanks to its rich formula with shea butter, mango butter, and vitamin E, provides intensive hydration and soothes irritation.
How Supreme natural cream supports skin regeneration:
- Shea butter deeply hydrates the skin and helps restore the lipid barrier, making it softer and more resilient.
- Vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant, helps neutralize free radicals created by UV exposure, preventing damage to skin cells.
- Plant oils and medicinal herbs in the cream further nourish the skin, reduce redness, and speed up the regeneration process.
Usage tips:
- After sun exposure, cleanse the skin with a gentle cleanser to remove sweat and impurities.
- Apply Supreme cream to the face and body in gentle circular motions, focusing on areas most exposed to the sun, such as shoulders, arms, and décolletage.
- Use the cream daily for a long-lasting feeling of hydration and protection.
Besides being suitable for adults, this cream is also ideal for children and people with sensitive skin, eczema, or psoriasis, making it a universal choice for the whole family. An additional advantage is that it contains no water, parabens, silicones, or other harsh ingredients, so it’s completely natural and gentle on your skin.
The right combination of protection and regeneration is the key to healthy, radiant skin during spring days. With our Supreme natural cream, your skin will be cared for, soothed, and ready for all the challenges sunny weather brings.

Aromatherapy for complete balance
Don’t forget that skin care isn’t only an external process—it’s just as important to care for the mind. Our everyday life is often filled with stress and a hectic pace, which can negatively affect not only our mood but also skin health. That’s why creating a relaxing atmosphere at home can be a key step toward overall well-being.
Aromatherapy, as part of natural care, offers many benefits—from reducing stress and anxiety, to improving sleep, to creating a sense of inner peace. Scented candles made from natural soy wax and enriched with essential oils are a perfect way to bring harmony into your space. Their gentle flame and pleasant scents create a warm, soothing atmosphere that encourages relaxation and positively affects mood.
How to use scented candles for aromatherapy:
- Place the candle in the room where you spend the most time, such as the living room or bedroom.
- Before lighting, trim the wick to 7–10 mm to ensure an even burn and prevent smoking.
- Let the candle burn until the wax melts across the entire surface—this ensures optimal scent throw and extends the candle’s lifespan.
- Use the candle for 2–4 hours for best effects, then extinguish it and enjoy the lingering scent.
Besides candles, dried lavender flowers in sachets are ideal for wardrobes, drawers, or bedside tables. Their natural scent not only freshens the space, but also helps calm the mind and prepare for restful sleep. These small lavender sachets fit easily into any corner of the home, providing a long-lasting, gentle scent of nature.
With scented candles and aromatherapy extras, your home can become your personal sanctuary—a place to relax, recharge, and gather energy for new challenges. Aromatherapy reminds us that self-care is more than external care—it’s creating balance between body, mind, and spirit.
