3 New Year's Resolutions For Radiant Skin

Small tweaks or additions to your everyday life can positively affect your health and wellness as you lead into the new year! One way to switch up your routine is to focus on different ways to take your skincare to the next level. Adding in a new product or applying a face mask once a week are habits that will make your skin look and feel amazing. We have listed 5 simple, yet effective steps to add to your skincare routine to make 2023 the year for growth and self-care!

Moisturize every day and exfoliate every week!

You may be skipping out on moisturizer because you have oily skin or are prone to breakouts.  But skipping moisturizer can actually make breakouts worse since dry skin “signals” your oil glands to produce more oil, which can cause congestion. There is also the option to use an oil-free moisturizer if breakouts or shininess are an issue.

Moisturizing every day helps wrinkles look less noticeable as well as soothes the skin that has been impacted by advanced treatments such as retinoids. Exfoliating, and sloughing off surface skin cells, is also something to consider adding to your routine. Clearing dry and dead skin cells consistently will help unclog pores, prevent acne, increase product absorption, and more for a radiant glow.

Wear broad-spectrum sunscreen, even when it’s cloudy outside.

SPF is the number one defender against premature aging and should always be the last step in your skincare and makeup routine. Sunscreen also helps prevent skin cancer when used as directed along with other measures like wearing sunglasses, staying in the shade during peak daylight hours, and wearing long sleeves. But always remember to apply SPF even when it's cloudy or rainy outside because sunlight will penetrate through the clouds which can still cause damage.

Don’t forget your eyes!

Squinting and frowning can cause a lifetime of damage to your eye area because the skin around your eyes produces far less natural oil and is thinner than the rest of your face which makes it more likely to develop crow’s feet and fine lines along the under-eye area. It has also been found that the lines around your eyes can age a person faster than wrinkles that appear in other areas such as the neck, forehead, and along the mouth.
