The New Year Calls For A Skincare Routine Refresh

Start With What You See

Firstly, have a look in the mirror. Now, we hear what you’re saying. Not many people are keen on the idea of getting up close and personal in front of the mirror for fear that they might end up seeing something they really would rather not. But, it’s an integral part of reassessing your skincare needs. 

Maybe your skin doesn’t have as much of a glow as it used to. Or you're noticing the overall tone could do with some improvement. Assessing these things will help when it comes to choosing which products to keep, which could actually be doing more harm than good. As well as which new products to look out for.

Refresh Your Routine

Next is an equally important step, take a good look at your morning routine and your evening routine. You want to take an objective look at it, Marie Kondo style. Ask yourself. How long does it take to do both? Especially your morning routine. How many products are you using? Could you be using less? These questions are important to ask yourself because you want to be using ingredients on your skin that really work for you. Quality over quantity is the aim of the game in the skincare world. 

Go Back to Basics

As we've seen, there are so many products on the market and the truth is it can all get a bit overwhelming, not just for us but for our skin as well. With the start of the new year, it could be a great opportunity to go back to basics with a simple cleanser, moisturiser and SPF to give your skin a little break. A great cleanser to go with is the SkinCeuticals Simply Clean Cleanser and for a moisturiser, the Obagi Medical Hydrate is a great one to use. For SPF, we would recommend the Murad City Skin Age Defense Broad Spectrum SPF 50. These are some great well-known products that can really give the skin a boost and help it to get the refresh it needs. 

Don’t Forget to Treat Yourself

Now we've got through the gruelling task of getting rid of some things and all that reassessing and being efficient. It’s time to treat yourself, after all, the new year is the time to be kind to yourself. We've spoken a lot about your skin, but what about your eyelashes, shouldn’t they get some love too? Some people are blessed with beautiful long lashes but in your close-up mirror looks, you might have noticed that your lashes could do with a refresh as well! But how do you get healthier lashes? This is where Revitalash’s Eyelash Conditioner comes in. 

This small and mighty tube is jam-packed with various peptides, lipids and extracts like green tea that will go the extra mile to condition and strengthen your lashes. Like the rest of your hair, your eyelashes need to be conditioned to remain long and strong. Simply apply the serum to clean dry lashes once a day and watch them become not only longer and softer but also stronger.
