New Year, New Glow: Skincare Resolutions You’ll Actually Stick To


Skincare Goals

It’s here again—the New Year! A fresh start, a chance to reset, and, let’s be honest, probably another long list of resolutions that we hope we’ll stick to this time around. But let’s make one promise to ourselves that we can actually keep: giving our skin the love it truly deserves.

Whether you’re a skincare newbie or a full-blown skincare obsessive (we see you with your 10-step routines), 2025 is your year to up your skincare routine. From breaking bad habits to embracing glow-boosting practices, these resolutions aren’t just easy—they’re totally doable. Ready to glow?


Contents:




1. Hydration is Everything—Inside and Out


If your skin’s been looking a little dull lately, chances are it’s thirsty. Like, really thirsty. Hydration is the foundation of great skin, and while guzzling water helps (keep that water bottle handy), your skincare routine is where the real magic begins.


How to Nail It: Add a hydrating serum to your routine—look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid or glycerin to lock in that moisture. And don’t forget your moisturiser! If you've got dry patches, treat yourself to a soothing sheet mask. Your skin will thank you with that dewy, fresh-faced glow.


2. Sunscreen Isn’t Just for the Beach...


If we could shout this from the rooftops, we would. SPF is non-negotiable. Rain, shine, or snowstorm, those sneaky UV rays are always lurking, waiting to cause wrinkles, sunspots, and premature aging. Want your skin to stay youthful for years to come? Sunscreen. Every. Single. Day.


How to Nail It: Make it part of your morning routine. Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30 (or higher) that suits your skin type. And yes, reapply—especially if you’re spending time outside. Your future self will be so glad you did.


3. Drink Your Way to Better Skin with Skinade


Glowing skin isn’t just about what you put on your face—it’s also about what you put in your body. That’s where Skinade comes in. This award-winning collagen drink isn’t just delicious (hello, peach and mangosteen); it’s also a game-changer for your skin.


Why You’ll Love It: Packed with 7000mg of marine collagen peptides and a powerhouse of vitamins, Skinade boosts your body’s natural collagen and hyaluronic acid production. Translation? Smoother, firmer, more hydrated skin in just 30 days. Oh, and did I mention it helps with stronger nails and healthier hair too? Glow-up goals achieved!


4. Break Up with Bad Skin Habits


We all have our skincare guilty pleasures—falling asleep with makeup on, picking at spots, over-scrubbing like it’s a sport. Sound familiar? It’s time to call it quits. These habits might feel harmless, but they’re secretly sabotaging your skin.


How to Nail It: Make small changes that stick. Implement a simple skincare routine that you can stick to and that matches your lifestyle. Ahem...book an appointment with me to create a personalised skincare routine to suit you. For breakouts, use a spot treatment and step away from the mirror. And when it comes to exfoliating, less is more—stick to 1-3 times a week, tops.


5. Simplify Your Routine


If your bathroom shelf looks like a beauty aisle threw up on it, it’s probably time to declutter. The truth is, your skin doesn’t need a million products—it needs the right products. A simpler routine is not only easier to stick to but also way more effective.


How to Nail It: Go back to basics. Cleanser, moisturiser, sunscreen—that’s your holy trinity. From there, add a serum that targets your skin concerns, like vitamin C for brightening or retinol for anti-ageing. Keep it simple, consistent, and stress-free.


6. Pamper Your Skin Like It Deserves


You deserve a little you time, and so does your skin. Whether it’s a quick face mask after a long day or treating yourself to a routine skin peel, these little acts of self-care can make all the difference.


How to Nail It: Set aside one day a week for a mini spa session at home. Gua sha massage, an overnight treatment, or even just a calming candle and your favourite face mask—whatever makes you feel relaxed and refreshed. Bonus points if it includes a bubble bath. Don't forget to book a skin peel every quarter with yours truly to maintain your skin health and skincare efforts too.


7. Don’t Forget About Your Neck and Hands


We focus so much on our faces, but what about our neck and hands? These areas can be just as vulnerable to ageing, dryness, and sun damage—so don’t leave them out of your skincare routine.


How to Nail It: When applying your products, extend them down to your neck and chest. And don’t forget to slather on some hand cream with SPF. Trust me, this small step makes a big difference. Or dive deeper into the collagen and book a Profhilo® hand rejuvenation session with me for faster, effective results.


8. Start (or Stick With) Retinol


Retinol gets a bad rap for being “too strong,” but it’s honestly one of the best things you can do for your skin. Think of it as your all-in-one solution for wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and dullness. Yes, it takes a little getting used to, but the results? Totally worth it.


How to Nail It: Start slow—a low-concentration formula once or twice a week is perfect for beginners. Sensitive skin? Consult with a skincare specialist like myself to recommend and prescribe advanced skincare products specifically for sensitive skin. And don’t forget SPF during the day (retinol makes your skin more sun-sensitive).


9. Listen to Your Skin


Your skin has its own way of telling you what it needs—whether it’s a breakout, dry patches, or extra oil. The key? Pay attention and adjust your routine accordingly.


How to Nail It: If your skin feels dry, swap your cleanser for a creamier one or layer up on moisturisers. If it’s breaking out, simplify your products and look for calming ingredients like salicylic acid or niacinamide. Be patient and kind to your skin—it’s doing its best!


10. Make Skincare Fun Again


Skincare shouldn’t feel like a chore. It’s your time to unwind, relax, and do something good for yourself. Here's how to add a little sparkle to your glow-up routine!


How to Nail It: Try new products that make you excited about your routine, like a glittery face mask or a tool like a jade roller. Play your favourite playlist or audiobook while you get ready. Turn your skincare into a ritual you actually look forward to.
