Once spring hits, revamping your beauty routine to match your mood—think lighter and brighter—is more than just fun. It can also be a time to discover a new It ingredient for your skin type or challenge, tap into innovations that can save you time, or level-up your current lineup—plus you might even find a few new favorites.
