New Year Skincare Resolutions

The new year is the perfect opportunity to revamp your skincare routine. With a few thoughtful changes, you can lay the foundation for glowing, healthy skin all year. From upgrading your cleansing habits to supporting cruelty-free brands, these skincare resolutions are simple yet impactful steps toward achieving your best skin.

Make Cleansing a Priority

Cleansing is often overlooked, but it’s the foundation of every great skincare routine. Sleeping with makeup on can clog pores, irritate your skin, and contribute to premature aging. Make it a non-negotiable habit to remove makeup each night with a gentle yet effective cleanser.

Washing your face in the morning removes sweat and oil that accumulate overnight, preparing your skin for the day ahead. In the evening, cleansing clears away the buildup of makeup, sunscreen, and environmental pollutants. A double cleanse at night—starting with an oil-based cleanser followed by a water-based one—can provide a deeper clean and maximize your skincare results.

Consult a Professional for a Skincare Audit

With so many products and trends on the market, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed or make mistakes with your routine. You might be using the wrong products for your skin type, applying too many layers, or skipping crucial steps.

A skincare audit with a professional can inform you of the specifics of your skincare needs. They’ll assess your current routine and recommend adjustments based on your unique skin needs and goals. This personalized approach ensures that every product in your lineup works for you, saving time, money, and potential frustration. Consider scheduling an audit early in the year to start your skincare journey on the right track.

Commit to Daily Sunscreen

Sunscreen isn’t just for summer, it’s a year-round necessity. Even on cloudy days, UV rays can penetrate your skin, causing damage that contributes to premature aging, dark spots, and fine lines. During winter, snow reflects up to 80% of UV rays, increasing exposure when you’re outdoors.

Choose a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher and apply it every morning as the final step in your skincare routine. Reapply throughout the day if you’ll be outside for extended periods. For added convenience, look for moisturizers or makeup products that include SPF to streamline your routine.

Hydrate Inside and Out

Hydration is essential for maintaining plump, youthful skin. While drinking more water is a great start, your skincare routine should also focus on locking in moisture. Use products that feature hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, or aloe vera to keep your skin soft and supple.

Winter weather can be especially harsh, stripping your skin of its natural oils. Incorporate a rich, emollient moisturizer into your routine to prevent dryness and strengthen your skin’s barrier. For an extra hydration boost, try overnight masks or hydrating serums to replenish your skin while you sleep.

Get Your Beauty Sleep

Getting enough quality sleep isn’t just good for your body—it’s crucial for your skin. During deep sleep, your body produces collagen, repairs damage, and promotes cell turnover, all of which contribute to a brighter, more youthful complexion.

Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep each night, and enhance your evening routine with products that support overnight repair. Retinol creams, nourishing face oils, and hydrating masks can amplify your skin’s natural healing process, leaving you with a refreshed glow by morning.

Support Cruelty-Free Skincare
