Embrace a Fresh Start with a New Year Skin Reset

As we bid farewell to the old year and welcome the new, it’s the perfect time to embark on a journey of self-care and renewal.

What better way to kickstart the year than with a rejuvenating skin reset? The past year might have left its mark on our skin, but with a mindful approach and new year self-love, we’ll unveil a radiant, refreshed complexion. Let’s explore some simple yet effective steps to give your skin the reset it deserves.

1. Cleanse and Detoxify:

The foundation of any effective skin reset is a thorough cleanse. Start by removing the remnants of last year with a gentle yet effective cleanser suitable for your skin type.

We love Erborian Cleansing Water. A gentle cleanser that will remove makeup, leaving skin instantly refreshed, cleansed and moisturised.

If you have oilier skin, we recommend trying Erborian’s Black Charcoal Mousse.  This daily cleanser enriched with Charcoal gently cleanses to eliminate impurities.  Pores will look and feel tighter and excess sebum is kept at bay.

Consider incorporating a detoxifying mask, like Apivita Propolis Express Face Mask into your routine to draw out impurities and leave your skin feeling revitalized. This step helps to eliminate toxins and pave the way for a clean slate. 

2. Hydration is Key: 

One of the most vital aspects of a successful skin reset is proper hydration. After cleansing, replenish your skin with a hydrating moisturiser. Opt for products containing hyaluronic acid, glycerin, or other hydrating ingredients to lock in moisture. 

We recommend L’Occitane Aqua Ultra Thirst-Quenching Cream for glowing moisture & softness all day, as well as Apivita Aqua Beelicious Comfort Hydrating Cream. This cream can be applied as an ideal make up base, that nourishes and restores skin’s texture.

Consider using a facial mist, like Kora’s Balancing Rose mist throughout the day to keep your skin refreshed and well-hydrated.

3. Exfoliate for Renewal: 

Say goodbye to dead skin cells and unveil a brighter complexion by incorporating exfoliation into your routine. Choose a gentle exfoliator like Pixi’s Peel & Polish to slough off the old, making way for new and radiant skin. Regular exfoliation also enhances the effectiveness of your skincare products by allowing them to penetrate more deeply.

4. Nourish from Within: 

A true skin reset involves nourishing your skin from the inside out. Pay attention to your diet, ensuring it is rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Incorporate foods like fruits, vegetables, and omega-3 fatty acids to promote healthy skin. Don’t forget to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. 

We love Dose & Co’s Collagen Blends to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines and increase skin hydration. The range includes high dose collagen which boasts between 10g – 20g per serving; for hair, skin and nail support.

5. Sunscreen, Always: 

Shield your skin from the damaging effects of UV rays by making sunscreen a non-negotiable part of your skincare routine. The new year is the perfect time to recommit to sun protection. Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen like Mary & May’s Vegan Primer Glow Sun Cream SPF50 and apply it diligently, even on cloudy days. 

6. Mind-Body Connection: 

Lastly, remember that your skin’s health is closely tied to your overall well-being. Incorporate stress-relieving activities into your routine, such as meditation, yoga, or a soothing bath. A calm mind contributes to a radiant complexion.

Cheers to a new year and a revitalized you!
