As we step into a fresh year, it’s the perfect time to revamp your skincare routine and adopt habits that will keep your skin glowing all year long. Glowing skin isn’t just about what you put on it—it’s about how you treat it. Adopting a healthy skincare routine and focusing on natural glowing skin can make all the difference. Here are ten easy habits to glow up in 2025:
1. 🩴 Double Cleanse Daily
The first step to a radiant complexion is clean skin prepared to absorb the rest of your routine. Double cleansing removes makeup, sunscreen, and daily grime so your skincare products can penetrate and work effectively.
Incorporating the double cleansing method is one of the most effective skincare tips for maintaining healthy, radiant skin. Start with an oil-based or gel cleanser to dissolve impurities, followed by a gel or cream based cleanser to refresh your skin.
2. 🎀 Wash Your Hair First
Hair products can clog your pores and lead to breakouts on your face and back. Always wash and rinse your hair before cleansing your skin in the shower. This way, you’re rinsing away any residue before it can cause trouble. Especially important for acne clients.
3. 💄 Toss Expired Products
Old skincare and makeup, especially expired skincare products, can harbor bacteria and lose their effectiveness. Check expiration dates regularly and declutter your vanity to ensure you’re only using fresh, active products.
You can add a small label to make it easier for yourself. When in doubt throw it out - changes in texture, color, or scent can be harsh for the skin.
4. 🪵 Brush Teeth Before Cleansing
Brushing your teeth first prevents toothpaste residue from sitting on your skin, which can cause irritation and breakouts around your mouth. Make this simple switch to keep your skin clear.
5. 🥒 Stay Hydrated
Hydration is key for plump, glowing skin. Incorporate strategies for hydration for glowing skin, and learn how to hydrate skin effectively for optimal results. Enhance your water intake by adding a pinch of sea salt for electrolytes, fresh berries for antioxidants, or turmeric for anti-inflammatory benefits and nutrients.
6. 🧊 Ice Your Face
Icing your skin is a natural way to reduce puffiness, soothe inflammation, and even smooth fine lines. Use an ice cube or a dedicated facial ice roller in small circles full face for about a minute. Think of it as at-home cryotherapy! Boost circulation, promote lymphatic drainage, minimize wrinkles, and soothe breakouts for FREE.
7. 👁️ Apply Eye Serum First
Lightweight eye serums should go on before other facial serums, creams and oils. This ensures they penetrate deeply and address fine lines, puffiness, and dark circles effectively.
Pro-Tip: don't use heave eye creams as they can lead to milia which are hard to remove.
8. 🩴 Stay Consistent
Great skin doesn’t happen overnight. The impressive before-and-after results often showcased on social media require a dedicated commitment to both an effective homecare routine and a professional treatment protocol.
Stick to your skincare routine and be patient—results take time, but your dedication will pay off. Delaying treatments, picking your skin and wearing makeup to bed are all habits that lead to skin aging.
9. 🔥 Skip Hot Showers
Hot water can strip your skin of its natural oils, leaving it dry, irritated and sometimes flaky. Understanding the effects of hot water on skin is essential for maintaining skin barrier protection and overall skin health. Opt for lukewarm water instead to preserve your skin barrier.
10. 💜 Prioritize YOU
Your skin reflects your overall well-being. Protect your energy, set boundaries, and invest in yourself. Make healthy decision as frequently as possible but also have balance and give yourself grace! When you feel good, your skin glows naturally.
