After months of harsh winter weather, heavy skincare, and indoor heating, your skin is ready to exhale. As the seasons shift, so should your skincare – and Spring 2025 is the perfect time for a complete skin detox.
Think of it as your skin’s version of spring cleaning: shedding dull buildup, calming inflammation, and restoring balance so your complexion is fresh, dewy, and radiant heading into the sunnier months.
Here’s everything you need to know about seasonal skin detoxing, why it matters, and the top professional treatments to add to your spring beauty plan.
Why Your Skin Needs a Detox After Winter
During the colder months, your skin works overtime to protect itself – often resulting in:
- Dryness and dehydration
- Dead skin buildup and clogged pores
- Inflamed or reactive skin from temperature swings
- Dull, uneven tone and texture
By the time Spring arrives, your skin barrier is likely stressed, sluggish, and in need of a reset. A skin detox clears the way for healthier function, improved product absorption, and a smoother, brighter glow.
Step 1: Deep Cleansing Facial & Lymphatic Drainage to Awaken and Decongest
Your skin’s first step toward renewal begins with clarity – and that starts at the surface. Winter often leaves behind congestion, product buildup, and a sluggish complexion.
Our Deep Cleansing Facial with Lymphatic Drainage, performed by Master Medical Aesthetician Victoria Kartseva, is thoughtfully tailored to each patient’s skin. The treatment begins with a thorough cleanse, followed by an enzyme peel, exfoliation, and targeted extractions to decongest the skin. A hydrating mask and medical-grade LED light therapy complete the experience, working in harmony with lymphatic drainage massage to purify the pores, stimulate circulation, and restore your skin’s natural
This elevated facial combines her expert medical cleansing, exfoliation with a lymphatic drainage massage – a technique that encourages the flow of lymphatic fluid to:
- Reduce fluid retention and puffiness
- Eliminate toxins and cellular waste
- Boost oxygenation and nutrient delivery to the skin
- Support immunity and stimulate skin renewal from within
Pro-Tip: Book this facial at the start of Spring – if you haven’t already, there is still time! It resets your complexion and enhances product absorption – making every skincare step that follows work harder and smarter.
Step 2: Rebuild, and Strengthen the Skin Barrier
Once the skin is clear and replenished, the second step focuses on barrier restoration and deep cellular repair. After winter, the skin increases in sensitivity, dehydration, and fullness — all signs of a compromised skin barrier. Spring is the ideal time to rebuild skin integrity and reawaken collagen production through regenerative therapy.
At Ritual, our nurse practitioner team — Tracy, Amanda, and Layla — specialize in personalized, skin-strengthening therapies that promote long-term health and radiance.
Here are some of our most-requested spring skin reset treatments:
- Microneedling with PRP: After creating microchannels into the skin using SkinPen, we apply PRP topically to absorb into the dermis. This enhances repair, reduces inflammation, and support long-term barrier health.
- PRF (Bio-Gel) Injections: Tired, hollow under-eyes from winter fatigue? Tracy — our under-eye expert — uses platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) a concentrated blend of your body’s own platelets and growth factors, gently injected to temporarily improve volume and refresh the under-eye area. While results are subtle and build gradually over a few sessions, many of our patients love the more rested, hydrated look this treatment helps achieve.
- Skinvive by Juvederm: This injectable skin hydrator uses microdroplets of hyaluronic acid to enhance moisture retention, improve skin texture, and support a smoother, more radiant surface. Unlike dermal fillers, Skinvive doesn’t add volume — it restores the skin’s glow and bounce from within. It is a fantastic FDA approved alternative to Rejuran (not yet FDA approved for injection in the US).
Step 3: Nourish + Protect with Vitamin Injections
With the skin barrier reinforced and visibly refreshed it’s time to support your skin health from the inside out. Cellular nourishment, antioxidant defense, and recovery support all play a critical role in maintaining healthy, radiant skin
At Ritual, we incorporate targeted functional wellness injections to elevate your skin results and overall vitality. We recommend a one-month series of self-administered injections, given from the comfort of your home. Each is tailored to support cellular function, repair, and resilience.
- Glutathione Injections: Known as the body’s master antioxidant, glutathione helps brighten the skin, reduce inflammation, and protect against oxidative stress. It also supports detoxification, leading to a clearer, more even-toned complexion.
- NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) Injections: Essential for DNA repair and cellular energy production. As NAD+ levels naturally decline with age, supplementation helps improve skin vitality, support healing, and promote long- term skin resilience.
- Hydroxocobalamin (Vitamin B12) Injections: This bioavailable form of B12 boosts energy, supports red blood cell production, and enhances oxygen delivery — a key element in healthy skin cell regeneration.
Pro-Tip: For best results, we recommend pairing NAD+ and glutathione with your microneedling or PRF treatments. It’s a low-lift way to maintain your skin’s luminosity and energy throughout the season.
Step 4: Continue the Glow At-Home with ZO Skin Health
Professional treatments lay the foundation, but your at-home skincare routine is what keeps the glow going. To maintain and maximize your results, we recommend incorporating medical-grade skincare that supports barrier health, cellular turnover, and hydration.
ZO Skin Health, developed by Dr. Zein Obagi, is our go-to for Spring — with targeted products that treat function, not just surface concerns.
Our own Practice Administrator, Valentina, swears by this simple 3-step ZO regimen to keep her skin radiant year-round::
- ZO Gentle Cleanser: A daily cleanser that lifts dirt, oil, and impurities without stripping the skin — perfect for all skin types and ideal for post-treatment care.
- ZO Exfoliating Polish: Recognized by Elle magazine as a cult-favorite, this exfoliating uses ultra-fine magnesium crystals to address dead skin cells, stimulate circulation, and reveal a smoother complexion.
- ZO Complexion Renewal Pads: These toning pads refine pores, control oil, and help balance the skin — leaving your complexion clear, refreshed, and ready to glow.
Pro-Tip: Professional treatments give your skin a fresh start — but your at-home regime is what keeps your progress consistent and long lasting. Our non-negotiable skincare recommendations always start at the basics — cleanse, exfoliate, and tone!
