5 New Year’s Resolutions: How to Prepare Your Skin for the New Year

At the end of the year, it is customary to sum up the results and make plans for the future. Family, career, finances – the list is endless. Have you forgotten about the item called “taking care of yourself”? If suddenly yes, use the wishlist, which will come in handy in the process of preparing for the New Year.

Clean regularly

Twice a day, and nothing less, because cleansing is the foundation of skin care. It is it that prepares fertile ground for all subsequent funds and makes their work better and more efficient.

The skin is our largest organ. It keeps moisture in the body and does not allow infections, dirt and germs to penetrate inside.

The skin must be cleansed twice a day. Just remember and act.

If the skin is not cleansed, then blockage of the pores cannot be avoided. Throw in more bacteria and welcome inflammation and painful pimples. Plus, do not forget that foundation and other decorative cosmetics are better applied to well-cleansed and moisturized skin. Let evening and morning washing be the main commandment this year.

It is also worth adding regular exfoliation and cleansing masks a couple of times a week.

Use face masks

A face mask is a quick way to brighten up your skin.

If you haven’t already, we recommend that you start and apply masks at least twice a week. This will help prepare the skin for New Year’s Eve and form a good habit.

  • Cosmetologists recommend using moisturizing and restoring masks at least daily.

  • Cleansing and exfoliating – depending on the condition and, of course, the type of skin, but at least once a week.

Some day and night masks, as well as the impregnation of sheet masks, do not require rinsing, which is very convenient.

In the morning during breakfast or after cleansing in the evening, apply the mask and leave for the time prescribed by the manufacturer.

Moisturize thoroughly

Moisturized skin looks fresh, bright and supple.

Moisturize the skin – without it, you will not achieve its smoothness and softness. Water is life. The epidermis consists of about 70% water. Even a minimal loss of moisture leads to dryness, and then to dehydration. The skin itself will give a signal when things get bad.

In addition to discomfort, on the face with increased dryness of the skin, the following are possible:

  • feeling of tightness;

  • peeling;

  • irritation.

Keep a moisturizer on your bathroom shelf. Well, if it includes:

  1. vitamin E;

  2. hyaluronic acid;

  3. aloe extract;

  4. squalane;

  5. vitamin C.

Provide skin with night care

Let this year be the year of the night cream. If you haven’t developed the habit of applying a nourishing or moisturizing product at night, it’s time to rethink your beauty routine. Before going to bed, cleanse the skin well and apply the cream. At night, when the skin will be actively restored, the active ingredients will help it:

  • stimulate the production of its own hyaluronic acid;

  • restore the hydrobalance and protective barrier of the skin;

  • retain moisture in the epidermis.
