Spring Cleaning: Purify Your Body, Mind, and Space

Refresh, Detox, and Glow: Embrace the New Season with Revitalizing Rituals

After the winter months, when the body and mind have been immersed in a slower rhythm, it is time to open the windows, take a deep breath, and welcome this new season, Spring, with energy and lightness. Spring cleaning is not just about tidying up interiors; it starts with oneself: purifying the body, mind, and environment for a new dynamic.

A purification ritual to start fresh

In many traditions, the change of seasons is marked by purification rituals. Palo Santo, the sacred wood from South America, has been used for millennia to cleanse negative energies and bring a serene atmosphere. Its woody and soothing smoke invites relaxation and promotes meditation.

Thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties, Palo Santo is also known to relieve joint pain, stress, anxiety, and even improve sleep quality. A breath of serenity that perfectly accompanies a moment of relaxation and refocusing.

Fasting: an internal cleanse with multiple benefits

Spring is also the ideal time to give the body a break. Fasting, practiced for centuries, helps rebalance metabolism and optimize vital functions. Among its many benefits, it helps detoxify the body, promotes healthier eating habits, allows self-reflection, and provides valuable mental clarity. It also plays a role in slowing aging and maintaining overall good health. A true rejuvenation cure to regain a body full of vitality. (Source: FFJR)

However, fasting should be supervised by health professionals and is contraindicated in certain conditions/pathologies (It is preferable to seek advice from your doctor).

A beauty ritual to reveal radiant skin

Just as it is essential to rid your home of toxins accumulated during winter, the skin also needs a deep cleanse. After the cold months that have put it to the test, it is time to offer it a gentle and effective routine.

• Deep cleansing with a double cleansing ritual for the face. Nothing is better than CLEANSE cleanser and extra-gentle soap to remove impurities without drying out the skin while respecting its protective skin microbiota.
• Gentle exfoliation with SCRUB, an ideal body scrub. It provides effective yet gentle exfoliation, leaving a protective film on detoxified skin.
• A glow-boosting treatment with MASK, a purifying face mask that tightens pores, rebalances the skin microbiota, and hydrates. The skin is detoxified and regains its radiance.

Small actions that make a difference

• Practice facial YOGA: In the morning, drain tissues by applying light pressure on the temples, behind the ears at neck level, and at the inner corners of the eyes near the brow bone. Several times a day, gently pinch the forehead, cheekbones, and chin to boost collagen production and revitalize tissues.
• Add lemon juice to one and a half liters of water daily for optimal hydration and a fresh complexion.
• Don't skip workout sessions, which speed up the elimination of accumulated impurities during the cocooning season, preferably during the day and outdoors to absorb vitamin D.
• Enjoy a homemade facial sauna session to push out toxins and clear clogged pores: a bowl of very hot water, a towel over the head, and closed eyes—you're all set. Finish with a refreshing cold water rinse on the face.
• Adopt a detox diet: Incorporate foods like asparagus, radish, artichoke, and draining herbal teas to help the body eliminate toxins and boost energy.

A fresh start for a bright season

Spring cleaning is not just about tidying up your home; it is a true reset for the body, mind, and space. By adopting these simple and mindful habits, you can create an environment conducive to serenity and well-being. It's time to leave winter energy behind and open the door to a season full of light and renewal.
