Whether you're a skincare pro or a newbie, these eight New Year's resolutions will lay the foundation for skin that not only looks and feels healthy. So let's kick off a year of giving your skin the attention and care it deserves.

With these 8 tips you can give your skin the perfect glow in 2024!

1. Simplify your skincare routine: Less is often more

An overloaded routine with too many active ingredients can weaken the skin barrier, lead to redness, and irritate the skin. So forget complicated skincare routines with countless products – the motto for the new year is: simplicity! Rethink your routine and focus on the essentials. High-quality products with a few, but carefully selected, active ingredients are the key to healthy skin. This gives it the chance to regulate itself and glow from within.

2. Make SPF your BFF

UV protection isn't an optional extra, but a must for every skin type – including you! The sun may be beautiful, but its rays are one of the main causes of premature skin aging, wrinkles, dryness, and skin damage.

Integrate high-quality sunscreen into your daily morning routine to prevent premature wrinkles and dryness. A high SPF is your strongest ally against premature skin aging and wrinkles – and also helps significantly reduce the risk of skin cancer.

3. Reduce unhealthy consumption

We all know that alcohol and nicotine are harmful to our health. And this also applies to the health of your skin. By avoiding these harmful substances , you not only support your skin's ability to regenerate, but also improve your overall health. Your skin will thank you by renewing itself from within, giving you a fresh complexion.

4. Drink plenty

Water is essential for elastic, strong skin. Fluid helps plump skin cells and maintain their elasticity. Drinking at least 1.5 liters of water per day is a good goal. In addition to its direct impact on your skin's appearance, good hydration also helps flush waste products out of your body more effectively, which can have a positive effect on the appearance of spots and skin irritations.

5. Improve your diet

A skin-friendly diet can work wonders. By consuming important antioxidants through food, you can nourish your skin from within. Make sure you get enough vitamins like A, B2 and C, as well as biotin, zinc and omega-3 fatty acids , while reducing your consumption of highly processed foods, excessive dairy products and sugar to strengthen your skin from within.

6. Give your skin space

Pimples, blackheads, and dry patches of skin can be very uncomfortable. However, frequent touching, manipulating, or scratching of the skin can lead to inflammation and infection, worsening skin problems. Try to touch your skin as little as possible and give it a chance to heal itself.

7. Stay consistent

Routines are another important component of your skincare routine, as some active ingredients, such as niacinamide, only develop their full potential after several weeks of regular use. Therefore, start and end each day with a skincare routine tailored to your skin's needs.

In the morning, you should apply an antioxidant serum , a light moisturizer , and sunscreen. In the evening, a moisturizer with regenerating ingredients is recommended. The more consistently you follow your routine, the more visible the positive changes in your skin's appearance will be.

8. Don’t forget to remove your makeup

If you wear makeup, it's really important to remove it thoroughly every night . Makeup and powder, especially when combined with sweat and dirt particles, can clog pores and lead to blemishes like pimples and blackheads. Therefore, thoroughly cleanse your face every evening with lukewarm water to remove buildup and dirt particles. Then, you can intensively nourish and moisturize your skin with a regenerating night cream .

Conclusion

With these eight resolutions, you can not only improve your skin health but also give your overall lifestyle a positive boost. Let's start the new year together with fresh, healthy skin and a radiant glow! Get started right after New Year's Eve and experience the difference a little mindfulness and care can make. This way, 2024 is guaranteed to be your skin glow-up!
