It's time to bid farewell to old and unhealthy skincare habits and embrace the new year to refresh your beauty and skincare game. While 2024 introduced us to unique and innovative skincare regimens, let the year 2025 be all about more personalised care, focusing on using the right products tailored to the specific needs of your skin, rather than simply chasing fleeting trends.
But, how do you find your perfect skincare regime and where do you start?
Just, don't worry about a thing. In this detailed Skin Care Dos and Don'ts guide, we will talk about essential factors to simplify your new year goals and get that glowing, confident skin you deserve.
Essential Skincare Do's for the New Year
1. Stick to a basic skincare routine:
Achieving healthy and glowing skin doesn't mean you have to follow every skincare trend or layer your skin with dozens of products. Investing in simple, precise, and effective skincare products is all that it will take to achieve your skincare goals in the coming year. A gentle yet effective face wash, tailored face serums, a hydrating and nourishing moisturiser, and a non-greasy and lightweight sunscreen are some of the basic skincare essentials that you need to transform your skin.
2. Always apply sun protection:
You must have heard this from almost all skincare enthusiasts and experts, and we completely agree with them; sunscreen is an extremely important and non-negotiable skincare essential. Choose a broad-spectrum, lightweight and non-greasy sunscreen like POND'S Sun Miracle SPF 55 PA+++ Light Sunscreen that safeguards and brightens your skin with every application.
3. Stay consistent:
A new skincare routine can feel exciting, but consistency and sticking to one routine for the long term can make all the difference. Most skincare products take weeks or even more to show favourable results on your skin. It is not an overnight process, so no matter what, do follow a dedicated skincare routine every day and incorporate a power-packed face serum like POND'S Anti-Pigmentation Serum With 12% Gluta-Niacinamide Complex to bid adieu to all unwanted skin pigmentation, dark spots, and uneven patches that make your skin dull and lifeless.
4. Follow a balanced diet and exercise more:
Skincare is a must, but so is your overall body health. Following a balanced diet and regularly exercising helps enhance the overall appearance of your skin and health drastically. Skincare isn't just about external factors, your internal health matters as well. So, eat wisely, exercise regularly, and glow brightly throughout your skincare journey.
Essential Skincare Dont's for the New Year
1. Never sleep with makeup on:
It might seem tempting to skip removing makeup after a very long and tiring day, but never hit your bed with makeup on. This practice can be the reason behind all those sudden break-outs, clogged pores, dull skin, and other rising skin concerns. Use a good water-based gentle make-up cleanser to remove your make-up. Don't forget to exfoliate your skin using a gentle and deep skin cleansing scrub like POND'S Bright Beauty Face Scrub with Vitamin E, Vitamin A, and Silica Beads to get rid of accumulated dirt and impurities, leaving naturally glowing, smooth skin.
2. Avoid over-exfoliation:
While exfoliation helps get rid of stubborn dirt, dead cells, and all impurities, over-exfoliating your skin can lead to skin irritation and sensitivity. It can further dry out your skin by stripping away the natural oils and moisture from your skin. Exfoliate your skin only once or twice a week to enjoy the best version of your skin.
3. Don't ignore your skin type and need:
The best way to get the most out of your skincare regime is to invest in skincare products that match your skin type and needs. This helps in choosing products that are lightweight, non-comedogenic, and effective on your skin. If you are looking for a vitamin-rich face serum which can be used round the year, then POND'S Bright Beauty 12% VIT C+E+A Face Serum is the only face serum you need to revamp your skincare games in 2025.
4. Don't forget to moisturise:
Moisture loss is a serious problem that happens to individuals of all skin types. So, even if you have oily or combination skin, your skin may still need regular hydration. Use a lightweight and gel-based moisturiser infused with Hyaluronic Acid like POND'S Super Light Gel Oil-Free Moisturiser With Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin E that goes deep into your skin, locking moisture for up to 48 hours. The best part is that this moisturiser suits all skin types and can be used all around the season.
