New Year, New Skin: Top Skincare Resolutions for a Radiant 2024

15 January, 2024

The start of the new year is the perfect opportunity to revitalise your skincare routine, setting the stage for a year of glowing, healthy skin. This year, we’ll focus on achievable, impactful skincare resolutions that will bring out the best in your skin and bring you real, tangible results.

Below, we’ll explore our 2024 skincare resolutions for a new and improved complexion!

Find a cleansing routine that works for you, and stick to it: A thorough cleansing routine is one of the foundations of good skincare. In 2024, we recommend committing to a routine of cleansing your face that works best for you. Dry skin will respond well to a gentle, hydrating formula, oily skin will love a balancing cleanser, and sensitive skin types should embrace a gentle, fragrance-free option. We have a range of cleansers to choose from, so you’re sure to find one that best suits you.

Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate: Hydration is crucial for maintaining skin health and vitality. Hydration plays a pivotal role in keeping the skin barrier intact and functioning optimally. This barrier is our first line of defense against pollutants, bacteria, and other external irritants. When the skin is well-hydrated, it appears plumper, more resilient, and less prone to fine lines and wrinkles. In addition to hydrating your skin externally, aim to drink at least eight glasses of water daily to assist in keeping your body hydrated from the inside out!

Embrace the Power of Active Ingredients: Incorporating active ingredients into your skincare routine will help target specific skin concerns better than basic formulations. Active ingredients like retinol, vitamin C, AHAs (alpha-hydroxy acids), and BHAs (beta-hydroxy acids) have been shown to significantly improve skin texture, tone, and overall skin health. These powerful ingredients work at a cellular level to deliver real benefits, elevating your skincare routine from basic maintenance to proactive, results-driven care. This year, take the time to understand these actives and how they can enhance your skin. Remember to introduce them gradually and always patch test new products to avoid irritation.

Don’t forget your SPF: One of the most important steps in your skincare routine should be a daily SPF. Sun damage is a leading cause of premature aging, hyperpigmentation, and, more seriously, skin cancer. This year, make it one of your resolutions to use a broad-spectrum SPF of at least 30 daily, regardless of the weather. Remember, UV rays can penetrate clouds and windows, so make sunscreen a non-negotiable part of your morning routine. Shop our SPF options now!

Prioritise Sleep: Never underestimate the power of a good night’s sleep. Prioritising sleep is fundamental for skin health as it’s during these restful hours that the skin undergoes repair and rejuvenation. Sleep deprivation can lead to exacerbated skin conditions like acne, eczema, and psoriasis. In 2024, aim for 7-8 hours of sleep per night and adopt stress management techniques like meditation, yoga, or simply taking time to unwind and relax.
