Let’s admit it — we’re always eager to make New Year’s resolutions, but they have a reputation for getting broken. In fact, most people reportedly abandon their resolutions as soon as two months into a new year.
If you’re concerned about skincare, Lamelle Research Laboratories suggest that you commit to small, attainable goals that are easy to achieve, and make a great impact on the health and beauty of our skin in the long run.
2024 Skincare Resolutions
1. Remove your makeup before going to bed
After a long night, the last thing that you want to do is your evening routine, especially when you can simply collapse onto your bed.
Unfortunately, going to bed with makeup on can clog pores, leading to breakouts and leaving your skin looking lacklustre.
So, stick to your evening skincare routine every day, and always remove your makeup before going to bed – no matter how tired you are.
2. Apply SPF every single day
Your skin is vulnerable to sun-induced DNA damage all year round, regardless of the season. This means that you need to apply a broad-spectrum sun protection product every single day, even on overcast and rainy days.
So, when selecting an SPF, grab one with a superior formulation and additional anti-ageing benefits like Lamelle Helase 50. It protects against the full spectrum of sunlight, while the super-antioxidant Pycnogenol® destroys harmful free radicals to decrease the number of harmful enzymes that cause thinning and sagging of the skin.
3. Stay hydrated
Drinking water is good for the soul, and there are endless benefits to doing so throughout the day. Not only does it promote better digestion, help maintain healthy blood pressure, nourish your bodies and help them to function optimally, but it is also essential for hydrated skin.
The more water you drink, the more hydrated and plumper your skin will be, plus, as water helps flush out toxins, you’ll also enjoy a clearer complexion with fewer breakouts.
You can also keep your skin hydrated by incorporating hyaluronic acid into your skincare regime. This ingredient is known to hold 1000 times its own weight in water and is considered the very best option for dehydrated skin. Try Lamelle Correctives HA+ Serum, which contains five types of hyaluronic acid for maximum skin hydration benefits.
4. Focus on antioxidants
Free radicals can cause a lot of issues for your health, so to combat the effects of these harmful compounds on the skin and body, it’s important to ensure your diet and skincare regime is rich in high-performance antioxidants. When it comes to food, eat plenty of brightly coloured fruits and vegetables such as strawberries, oranges, bell peppers and tomatoes. Remember — the more intense and bright the colour, the higher the antioxidant presence.
Now, when it comes to skincare, vitamin C is your best friend. A powerful antioxidant with the ability to prevent and correct hyperpigmentation, increase the skin’s radiance and slow down the signs of ageing, vitamin C is a skincare must-have. Try Lamelle Correctives Vita C Lipid Serum. It features lipid-soluble vitamin C with jojoba and ginger root for a comfortable home treatment that delivers the skin benefits of vitamin C.
5. Stop touching your face
Harmful bacteria can be found all around us – from our cellphones to our car keys to our door handles, and yes, our hands.
Even if you’re diligent about washing your hands regularly, there will still be plenty of germs on your fingers throughout the day, and every time you touch your face, you’re transferring this bacteria onto your skin. The same goes for dirty cellphones and pillow cases – the bacteria they transfer to the skin is a leading cause of breakouts.
Try to avoid touching your skin as much as possible, and don’t pick at blemishes, as this may lead to infection. Clean your cellphone and wash your pillow case regularly – your skin will thank you for it!
If a breakout does pop up, please don’t fiddle with it. Rather, apply Lamelle Clarity Active Control, an effective anti-inflammatory gel spot treatment designed to calm the inflammatory processes so that the area can heal as quickly as possible.
Bottom line
Whether you’re a dedicated skincare fanatic or a beauty newbie, these simple resolutions are easy to follow and easy to maintain and will leave you with healthier, more beautiful-looking skin.
