Xmas Skincare Survival

New Year’s Resolutions with a Twist!

Christmas is finally over and it’s time to gear up for New Year’s Eve. It’s easy to keep your mind occupied with plans and party favours and champagne, but New Year’s also means…... resolutions.  New Year’s resolutions are the boring bit that comes after all the fun, and we never really stick to them…but that shouldn’t stop us from trying!

As long as it helps to make strides in the right direction, it’s worth it but what should we all be focusing on this year?

In the spirit of New Year’s, we've come up with a list of New Year’s Resolutions that your skin will love.  Most people have at least one terrible skin care habit, and hopefully 2023 is the year in which that bad skin care habit gets kicked! So don’t just swear off chocolate, make your skin happy going into New Year!!

Top 10 New Year Skincare Resolutions.

Simplify your skincare routine – The most effective skincare routine is a simple and well thought out one. Think about the active ingredients you are using and whether they are the right ones for your skin. To many different steps can disrupt the skin barrier worsening redness and increasing sensitivities. A really good place to start if you have not had a proper skincare routine before is a good 4 step routine, cleanse, tone, serum and moisturise. Eminence Kombucha Microbiome range is wonderful for all skin types including sensitive and supports the skin barrier with 4 products.

  1. Incorporate a good quality vitamin C product into your routine – Vitamin C brightens and boosts glowing skin, it is good for all skin types, is a potent antioxidant and works perfectly layered under your morning SPF. Eminence Citrus & Kale Potent C + E Serum is a lightweight, advanced serum for all skin types. As well as promoting bright, glowing skin it improves the look of fine lines and wrinkles and reduces the appearance of free radical damage.
  2. Take your makeup off every night – It’s so easy to just go to bed with a full face of makeup particularly after a busy day or a few drinks! Your skin will reward you wholeheartedly if you make sure you remove make up at the end of every day and you’ll reduce annoying breakouts. Your skin will also appear less oily the next day as you’ll be cleansing your skin of pore clogging makeup leaving your skin clear and clean for the next steps of your skincare routine. Making this one of your New Year’s skincare resolutions will see healthier skin for minimum effort. Eminence Stone Crop Cleansing Oil is a non-greasy oil that removes impurities including every scrap of make-up restoring moisture and leaving the skin fresh, dewy and soft.
  3. Eat for healthy skin – After indulging over the festive period we can all look a little more sallow and tired. Increasing your antioxidant intake by eating lots of brightly coloured fruits and vegetables which work in the deep layers of the skin to protect collagen from ultraviolet light and damage from environmental stressors such as pollution. Paying attention to your intake of good fats such as oily fish like salmon is a great source of omega 3 and protein. If you’re vegan or vegetarian, cashew nuts, flaxseed oil and consider supplementing with algae omega 3 daily.
  4. Get hydrated from the inside out - Most importantly, hydration is key to glowing skin, it's pretty simple, hydrated skin looks plumper and feels healthier.  Adding cucumber, lemon or mint to your water makes it taste more interesting.
  5. Add an exfoliant to your skincare routine - Add an enzymatic or acid exfoliator to your skincare routine. When used correctly, they can be a great alternative to physical exfoliators and can work better on your skin depending on it's type. Look for products that are gentle enough for regular use and work brilliantly for all skin types. An enzymatic and acid exfoliant will help unclog your pores, and encourage healthy skin cell growth, contributing to fresher, smoother skin. Eminence Yam and Pumpkin Enzyme Peel accelerates the exfoliation process removing dead skin cells and reduces the appearance of pigmentation, fine lines and sun damage. It is a delicious purée of yam and pumpkin which leaves skin looking firm and radiant and Eminence Arctic Berry Peel and Peptide Illuminating System keeps your skin radiant in between spa treatments with a 3-step peel and peptide system to target ageing and hyperpigmenation, as well as sensitive, rosacea and acne prone skin.  Use one of these alongside your other products, and feel the difference.
  6. Use an SPF Everyday - SPF should be a crucial part of every skincare routine, especially if you work or spend time outdoors. I think it’s fair to say that we’ve all been a little lax with SPF in our skincare routines. Simply put, a good SPF is the best anti-ageing method there is. Eminence SPF products use Zinc Oxide which provides broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection.
  7. Get enough sleep – Dark circles under the eyes can be caused by any number of reasons. They could even be genetic! However, a lack of sleep can only exacerbate the issue, making the skin under your eyes look much darker. This could also make you look more tired. Therefore, to address this, one of your new year skincare habits should be to try and get at least eight hours of sleep a night. First, this will help you wake up refreshed and well-rested, improving the appearance of dark circles under the eyes and looking more radiant in general! Eminence Wild Plum Eye Cream contains iron rich wild plum which reduces the appearance of dark circle under your eyes.
  8. Make masks a part of your skincare routine – Putting on a skincare mask is so soothing, indulge in some self-care and emerge with a fabulous healthy glow. You can either make a sort of ceremony of it by taking a bath or having a glass of wine and watching a favourite TV show or if time is short simply go to bed with a creamy mask on. Eminence Organics have a fabulous range of masques for all skin types.
  9. Switch to clean, green beauty – Products that make you look great and feel even better should be at the forefront of all our minds. Eminence Organics uses only the best natural, organic and Biodynamic ingredients many of which are grown at the Eminence certified Organic farm in Hungary. Incorporating organic beauty products into your skin care routine is one step towards improving the health of our planet.

Get Your Skincare Organised!

In order to be able to achieve a New Year's resolution it is necessary to do at least a little bit of planning! The end of one year and the start of another is the perfect time for a serious declutter which allows us to take stock of what (if anything) we have in our skincare collection that is of any real use to us. So to prepare for your New Year's resolution success, have a good decluttering. Keep the good stuff and bin the bad, you'll be shocked at how little you have left after! Choose your skincare products wisely, ask yourself if it's right for your skin type and remember sometimes it's a good idea to pay a bit more for the right product. Think about how long products will last and how effective they will be on your skin. Finally, invest in some good storage. Baskets, cannisters, crates and shelving mean you can keep everything tidy and actually find them! Operate a one in, one out system with your baskets and cannisters so you are not tempted to start hoarding. This also means you have a good understanding of which products are most useful to you and you don't use products that are past their best on your skin.
