New Year Beauty Routine
Start fresh this year with a new skincare routine to tackle the skin concerns that have followed you, such as dull skin tone, rough texture, and sagging facial lines.
Just as small, consistent habits lead to overall health, the same applies to your skin. If you wish to reset your skincare routine this new year, start by identifying your concerns and needs and revamping your daily skincare habits.
If brightening your skin is your goal, focus on serums containing Vitamin C, Arbutin, Niacinamide, or Tranexamic Acid. These ingredients help brighten your complexion and reduce pigmentation. Additionally, always apply sunscreen, even in winter. Choose a sunscreen that blocks both UVB and UVA rays, with SPF 50 and PA+++ or higher, and reapply throughout the day.
Winter’s dry air makes it easy for your skin to become dehydrated, so it’s essential to pay extra attention to hydration. In the morning, use a gentle pH-balanced cleanser to remove the sebum that accumulated overnight, then apply ampoules containing hyaluronic acid or panthenol to replenish moisture. For moisturizers, choose products with ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids to strengthen your weakened skin barrier and help your skin retain moisture. If dryness persists despite skincare, consider a "hydrolifting" treatment, which directly injects hyaluronic acid into the dermis for immediate hydration and the reduction of fine lines.
In the evening, focus on creating an anti-aging routine. When selecting a night serum or cream, look for ingredients like retinol, a well-known antioxidant that promotes skin regeneration and improves wrinkles and signs of aging. For a gentler option suitable for sensitive skin, consider bakuchiol, which offers similar benefits to retinol while being less irritating. Additionally, taking supplements like Vitamin C, E, Omega-3, and low-molecular-weight collagen can help improve skin elasticity over time.
By addressing specific concerns like skin tone, dryness, and firmness step by step with targeted products, you can gradually establish a new and effective beauty routine for the new year.

Redness caused by dilated blood vessels often results from sudden temperature changes. Use gentle products that calm and soothe the skin. Cooling sticks can help lower skin temperature and constrict blood vessels, while ceramide creams restore the skin barrier.
