Spring is that perennial time of renewal. It’s a season that beckons us to revitalize our body and surroundings and take a fresh approach to life. Whether you desire to breathe new life into your personal care regime, beautify your home décor or add some trendy new elements to your wardrobe, here are some spring pick-me-ups that’ll have you sitting pretty all season long.

SVELTA Tan’s Skin-Perfecting Self-Tanner (www.SveltaTan.com) – $38
The sun is shining, the temperature is rising and it’s time to put your best flesh forward…with a healthy tan, that is! SVELTA Tan is packed with potent natural ingredients designed to deliver a bronze sunless tan and make skin look flawless. Its natural formula uses botanically-derived, eco-certified DHA for a healthy and natural-looking tan, while mineral bronzers provide an instant boost of color for easy, streak-free application. In addition to a sultry glow, SVELTA Tan’s formula also delivers a wealth of key skin-perfecting botanicals including guarana, poppy, sacred lotus, aloe vera, and olive leaf. It also contains Camu-camu, which is rich in vitamin C and not only prevents free radical damage, but also is essential for collagen synthesis that keeps skin looking young and firm.

DermaSilk’s 1 Minute Wrinkle Erase Pen (www.DermaSilk.com) – $15
No time for a hardcore beauty regime? No problem! DermaSilk’s 1 Minute Wrinkle Erase Pen is a revolutionary treatment formulated to effectively minimize five key imperfections–forehead lines, “eleven” lines, crow’s feet, smile lines and marionette lines–for visibly more youthful looking skin. The 1 Minute Wrinkle Erase Pen optically plumps, diffuses and smoothes lines and wrinkles with its Micro-Diffusing Complex, which helps to reduce “crease” memory and lines. Use the pen-like applicator, which fits into any travel bag, for precise application every time. With one brushstroke applied to the desired area, fine lines and wrinkles appear to vanish.

Swell Skin’s Face Treatment Bar and Serum (www.SwellSkin.net) – $16 – $17
This two-product set—a face treatment bar and a concentrated Oil of Sea Buckthorn serum–is a simple, all-natural, multitasking skin care line purported to manage 90% of skin’s requirements. The products feature what the company cites as “the most powerful anti-oxidant in nature” that’s extracted from the Sea Buckthorn plant–a powerful workhorse with a 1,000-year history for healing and regenerating skin. The beauty bar will clarify skin for a clear, even-toned luminous glow. Once the face is clean, place the serum on any area where you would like to see an improvement. Many reportedly use the oil to minimize lines, acne, rosacea, eczema, rashes, age spots, burns, fight free radicals, moisturize and reduce inflammation.
