Reset Your Skin: Update Your Beauty Routine In 2018
Text by Faye Remedios
For skin like porcelain, you need to have a stellar skincare protocol. Here’s our anthology of the best options out there to ensure that you ring in the New Year with a breathtakingly fresh complexion
Coming Clean
For a radiant visage that’s impervious to the toll all your New Year partying takes on your skin, you need to get your basics right. Switching up your usual cleanser for micellar water can be a real game changer. Bonus points? It does away with having to use harsh tap water on your skin.
Our pick: The Garnier Micellar Oil-Infused Cleansing Water
Perfectly Polished
To mimic the effects of a precious few extra hours of sleep, you need a scrub to literally slough away the signs of tiredness. And we all know, exfoliating your skin can help your skincare products penetrate almost 20 per cent better. Pick a gentle formula that is microbead-free.
Our pick: Alanna Desiccated Coconut and Saffron Body and Face Scrub
Salon-worthy Skin
A good moisturiser can work to rejuvenate even the most faded complexions, and ensure that your epidermis is left glowing. Choose wisely and it can be as good as a vitamin shot for your face.
More than any other part of our body, late nights and hectic days leave their mark around your eye area. To combat this, you need a potent cream that will ensure that the skin around your eye is smoothed and refreshed.
Our pick: Forest Essentials Red Banana Flower & Potato Starch Under Eye Serum
The Fatigue Eraser
To prolong your holiday glow or even fake a just-back- from-vacation one, try a treatment that works hard while you rest. Look for one that plumps and reenergises to leave you revitalised.
A nutrient-packed product that also shields your skin from the ravages of pollution is just what your skin needs to brighten, refresh and impart a hydrated, dewy glow.
