With the end of 2022 rapidly approaching (HOW can it be the end of the year already?!) many of us are starting to think about New Year’s resolutions and changes that we want to make to herald the start of a new trip around the sun. Here at Pure Beauty, we think that your skincare is a great place to start, especially with two and a bit years of mask wearing and spending too much time indoors still leaving its mark on our complexion. With this in mind, we thought we’d share with you five of the best skincare resolutions that you can make this 31st December:
I Will Drink More Water
We know this is a subject we’ve brought up MANY times before, but it’s a fact that a lot of people simply don’t drink enough water and this can have a profound effect on your skin. Dehydrated skin will often present as having a lack of radiance and intense, persistent tightness. As well as upping your water intake to between two and three litres per day, we recommend adding Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Moisture Essence to your skincare routine. It is a hydrating essence that is clinically proven to double skin’s moisture content whilst smoothing the look of fine lines for a youthful glow.
I Won’t Sleep in my Make-Up
One of the biggest favours you can do for your skin, aside from drinking water, is making sure you don’t sleep in your makeup. Sleeping with makeup on traps dirt and pollutants inside the skin which can result in breaking down collagen and elastin in your skin. This can speed up the ageing process and leave you with fine lines and wrinkles. Prolonged wearing of makeup during sleep can also clog pores, potentially resulting in acne. Decleor Neroli Bigarade Cleansing Milk is a light-textured lotion that removes make-up and impurities to leave skin exceptionally clean.
I Will Take a Targeted Supplement
Looking after your skin is about much more than what you put ON your body – what you put IN it is just as important. While we’d recommend eating a balanced diet with plenty of vitamins and minerals and a balance of protein, carbs and healthy fats, we know this isn’t always possible. That’s why we’d recommend adding Elemis Pro-Collagen Skin Future Supplements to your daily routine. This supplement is designed to support improved hydration, luminosity, firmness, elasticity, and minimise the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by ensuring your skin gets all of the right nutrients.
I Won’t Give Up After a Month
Be honest; how many times have you made a New Year’s resolution and given up on it after a month? In fact, a study revealed that TWO THIRDS of us give up on our resolutions within the first month, and this is often nowhere near long enough to see results from a new skincare routine. Persevere as long as you can and you’ll have a much better chance of seeing good results.
I Will Wear Sunscreen
We’ve said it, Baz Luhrmann has said it, your Mum has probably said it a million times – YOU NEED TO WEAR SUNSCREEN! Wearing sunscreen is one of the best and easiest ways to protect your skin’s appearance and health at any age. Used regularly, sunscreen helps prevent sunburn, skin cancer and premature ageing. There’s a sunscreen out there for every skin type and it takes less than 30 seconds of your day to protect yourself against huge amounts of damage. If you don’t already, make 2023 the year you wear sunscreen every day.
