How To Get Good Skin For The Year Ahead
Share
You might be fed up of breaking out, or, perhaps, it’s the fact that your skin’s dehydration levels are causing your complexion to act out of turn. At this time of year, skin knows no boundaries, and no, it’s not just down to the fact that you ate too many mince pies over the Christmas break.
Right now, routine can be a distant memory for some. This blurry period between the end of Christmas and the start of the New Year can throw you all out of flux, but don’t let it do the same to your skin. Here’s how to beat the lull and make your skin the best it’s ever been…
Refine & Renew
PAYOT Gelée Gommante Douceur – Melting Exfoliating Gel
If you don’t exfoliate regularly, your current skincare set up can a complete waste of time (as you could well be just moisturising dead skin). Start by introducing a weekly exfoliator into your routine, just like PAYOT’s Melting Exfoliating Gel.
Without abrasive particles, the luxurious, gel-oil texture of this gentle but effective PAYOT exfoliator refines skin. How? It uses the combination of natural enzyme AHAs to buff away dead skin cells and dry patches for a smooth, soft finish that paves the way for radiant results in minutes; while making your current routine even more effective!
Give Yourself A Glow Up
Is your skin feeling fatigued? It’s easy to fight the effects of dullness and dehydration with Vichy’s latest launch: LiftActiv Hyalu Mask. Packed with skin-plumping hyaluronic acid, an injection-strength dose of 1% to be precise. In only 5 minutes, this skin rebooting treatment evens out your skin, smoothing away any roughness or dull tones – it’s the perfect quick fix!
The Bright ‘Eye’dea
Eucerin Anti-Age Hyaluron-Filler Eye Cream SPF15
From the age of 25, our collagen levels start to dip; therefore lines begin to form. With under and around the eyes being the most delicate and thin, this area tends to show fatigue, tiredness and ageing first, that’s why it’s essential to include an eye cream in your everyday routine.
Eucerin’s Hyaluron-Filler Eye Cream uses the tiniest hyaluronic acid particles to penetrate and plump out the formation of deep wrinkles. Another benefit? The fact it has the daily bonus of SPF15 to protect your eye contour from pollution and other harmful particles that want to disrupt your skin’s overall radiance.
Your Daily Dose of Repair
La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Hyaluronic Acid Serum
Without switching up your whole routine, the Hyalu B5 serum will be just what your complexion needs to feel just as good as it looks. A reparative tonic for anyone and everyone that feels their just not getting the results that they want, this powerhouse serum transforms the texture of your skin in only one day.
To keep your skin looking fresh, the combination of vitamin B5 stimulates your skin’s repair process. Madecassoside is what kick’s your collagen synthesis into whack for a firmer, bouncier finish. To top it all off, the molecule of the moment, hyaluronic acid drip feeds your skin, providing adequate moisture all day long.

Don’t forget…
1) Don’t skip SPF
Your skin needs to be protected against UVA and UVB rays to retain its health and youth.
2) Drink plenty of water!
As boring as this sounds, H20 is one of the most effective ways to keep your skin’s bounce.
3) Workout without makeup on
Simple, but super effective!
4) Keep your routine simple
Less is always more.
5) You are what you eat
Be sure to include lots of green vegetables, carrots and omega 3-rich fish in your diet to help boost your collagen production.
