Every New Year that has passed, you’ve probably made some resolutions that turned out to be too difficult or lofty to follow through with, leaving you feeling like you achieved nothing. This year, instead of pledging to yourself to lose 50 pounds in 2 months or barring yourself from ever again touching junk food to your lips, try for some of these practical New Year’s beauty resolutions that you will actually be able to follow through on!
Have Sexy Hair
Many women have great hair, but do nothing with it. Kick off the new year by finding a flattering style for your hair. It doesn’t have to be difficult or time-consuming. A few passes with a large curling iron or some creative braiding can make your hair come alive and transform the rest of your appearance.
Get Creative With Your Nails
With such an endless variety of nail polishes available, it’d be a waste not to experiment. Delicate glitters can bring out the elegance in an outfit, whereas conservative pastels serve to subtly accent light colors and airy looks. You can also use different colors of polish to make patterns and designs on your nails like stripes, flowers and stars.
Out With the Old
Do you often find that you never dispose of makeup and tools, no matter how old they are? Many people don’t pay attention to the fact that makeup has an expiration date. When it gets old, its consistency and pigmentation can suffer, as well as its coverage. Furthermore, bacteria can accumulate in aged makeup, brushes and sponges and lead to acne outbreaks and skin irritation. You can find guidelines for discarding expired in this post.
In With the New
If you’ve resolved to be healthier in the new year, don’t forget to include your cosmetic routine! Traditional cosmetics are usually made with synthetic petroleum-based chemicals, preservatives, dyes and possible food allergens. These things can damage skin and cause allergies or other negative reactions. When you’re updating your beauty kit, choose natural makeup. Due to its popularity, it’s readily available anywhere cosmetics are sold. Look for labels that say “100 percent natural”, “hypoallergenic”, “organic” or “made from soy”. Mineral makeup is also a favorite among many women for its light texture and natural ingredients.
Give Your Skin a Gift
Out of all the products you use to keep your skin firm and youthful, there is one that stands apart, yet is woefully underestimated: Vitamin C. Vitamin C is a strong antioxidant with numerous important functions. One of those is to build and repair skin, hair and nails. Everyone knows that collagen is largely what makes up these things, but few realize that without vitamin C,there is little collagen synthesis, leading to dull and thin features. Taking a vitamin C supplement or using skin products containing it can help keep your skin, hair and nails in top shape!
The key to achieving your New Year’s beauty resolutions is to be realistic, stay positive and be persistent. Looking good shouldn’t have to be a job. If it’s not healthy or stresses you out, it’s not worth it. Stick to what you know will work for you and enjoy a happy and beautiful New Year!
