How To Keep Your Skincare Resolutions In 2024 

Embarking on a skincare journey to look younger this new year…But not sure how you’ll stick to your resolution? Well, you’re not the only one.  

In fact, studies show most people abandon their New Year’s resolutions by the end of March. 

Which is why we’ve put together a simple guide to help you achieve your skincare goals effortlessly in 2024. 

Whether your resolution is to get clearer, spot-free skin or reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. It’s all easier than you think. So keep on reading…

Set Specific Goals

When starting off, limit your goals to two or three, to avoid overwhelming yourself. Start with something small and realistic. 

Instead of setting a goal for better, younger-looking skin, be more specific. Here’s some ideas to get you started:

✅Cleanse & moisturise every day

✅Use SPF every day

✅Stop going to sleep with makeup on

✅Exfoliate once or twice a week

✅Start using an eye cream every night

These goals are more easy to track and feel less daunting to achieve. Start with a couple and slowly build up.

Simplify 

Complex routines can feel overwhelming, especially at first. Instead, start with a couple simple steps. 

Focus on the essentials: cleansing, moisturising, and SPF protection.

This way you can  build the base for a successful skincare routine. Without taking on too much  at once. 

It might seem slow, but this ensures sustainable progress. Mastering one step before moving to the next, making it easier to stick to.

After a few weeks, you can  add more targeted care. Such as a dark spot cream or a skin tightening serum. Follow this for a few weeks before adding a further step if you’d like. 

Bonus tip: take before and after photos to keep track of your progress and motivate yourself! 

Consistency Tips

Staying consistent can be challenging. So here are a few tips to help you follow your routine no matter what

1. Set Reminders. On your phone, tablet or watch. An alarm in the evening can quickly remind you to cleanse and apply your moisturiser before bed. 

2. Skincare Station. Try keeping all your skincare products in one place, such as a bathroom shelf. 

3. Prepare For Setbacks. Design a plan which accounts for potential challenges, such as an illness or busy days. If you’re too weak or tired for a whole routine, maybe just stick to washing your face. And don’t worry if you skip a few days. Just try to get back on track when you can. 

A Fresh Start 

Following your routine daily isn’t the only thing to help you achieve your goals. In fact, the tools you’re using could also play a huge role…

Pillowcases, eye masks, makeup brushes, even your phone screen. All these come in contact with your skin daily. 

So with the new year, make sure they are clean. As they could be harbouring bacteria, setting your skin goals back without you even realising. 

And don’t forget to check the product expiration dates. Expired products could stop you  seeing the results you’re after. 

Get Support

Enlist the help of friends or family. They can hold you accountable or even remind you to apply that SPF in the morning. 

You could also partner up with a friend who has similar skincare resolutions. This way you can form new habits, track progress and celebrate successes together.

And if you have any questions, Dr. Sister is always happy to hear from you and help you on your journey.
