As we embark on a new year, it’s the perfect time to reflect on our habits and make positive changes, especially when it comes to skincare. A healthy skincare routine is not just about achieving flawless skin; it’s a commitment to self-care and well-being. To help you kick off the year with a radiant and healthy complexion, here are 10 skincare resolutions from SkinCision By Allen Rezai MD.
1. Consistent Cleansing
Start the year off right by committing to a consistent cleansing routine. Cleansing helps remove dirt, oil, and makeup, preventing clogged pores and breakouts. Opt for a mild cleanser such as SkinCeuticals Gentle Cleanser Cream – non-foaming, mild skin cleanser that efficiently removes impurities and long-wear face and eye makeup without any traces of residue. It’s important to have a cleanser suitable for your skin type to avoid stripping away essential oils.
2. Daily Sunscreen
Sun protection is a non-negotiable step in any skincare routine. Make it a resolution to wear sunscreen every day, even on cloudy days. UV rays can cause premature ageing and increase the risk of skin cancer, so choose a broad-spectrum SPF of at least 30. One of the most loved and popular aftercare sunscreen at SkinCision By Allen Rezai MD is SkinCeuticals Advanced Brightening UV Defense SPF 50 – this sunscreen is an ultra-lightweight, residue-free formula which combines broad spectrum UV protection with a potent blend of discolouration targeting ingredients for brighter, more even complexion.
3. Hydration Habit
Hydrated skin is healthy skin. Incorporate a moisturiser into your daily routine to keep your skin supple and nourished. Consider using a hydrating serum or overnight mask to give your skin an extra boost of moisture. Hydrating B5 Gel by SkinCeuticals is a go-to when it comes to moisturising and replenishing nutrients the skin needs to feel smoother and appear younger. This oil-free moisturiser combines vitamin B5 with hyaluronic acid to help bind moisture to the skin.4. Exfoliation Excellence
Regular exfoliation helps to slough off dead skin cells, promoting a brighter complexion. However, be mindful not to overdo it, as excessive exfoliation can irritate the skin. Choose an exfoliant based on your skin’s needs and sensitivity.5. Mindful Makeup Removal
Remove your makeup every night to allow your skin to breathe and regenerate during sleep. Leaving makeup on can lead to clogged pores and breakouts. Use a gentle makeup remover or cleansing oil to effectively remove all traces of makeup.6. Clean Makeup Brushes Regularly
Keeping makeup brushes clean is essential for maintaining healthy skin and achieving optimal makeup application. Dirty brushes can harbor bacteria, oil, and old makeup residue, leading to skin irritation, breakouts, and even infections. Regular cleaning not only prevents bacterial buildup but also ensures that makeup is applied smoothly and evenly.
7. Healthy Lifestyle Choices
Your skin’s health is closely linked to your overall well-being. Make resolutions to stay hydrated, eat a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, get enough sleep, and manage stress. These lifestyle factors significantly impact the condition of your skin.8. Customised Skincare Routine
Invest time in understanding your skin type and concerns.

Incorporating home-care aftercare products that addresses specific issues and best complement the treatments you have is a win-win situation for you and your skin goals this 2024.9. Natural Beauty in 2024
Perfect skin may be an unattainable standard, but your unique skin, with all its characteristics, is worth celebrating. It’s great that you are taking a positive habit and skincare routine with you as you welcome the new year but it is important to remember that having a healthy, glowing skin takes time and consistency. Take the opportunity in 2024 to liberate your face from makeup more often and showcase your skin’s natural beauty.
