The New Year’s resolutions to stick to for holistic health and beauty
As the old saying goes, beauty starts from the inside and radiates out. While having a top-notch skincare routine is essential in unleashing your glow, only smearing products on and ignoring your overall health will prevent you from looking and feeling like your best self. For your 2025 New Year’s resolutions, here are six ways to address health and beauty holistically.
#1: Have a consistent routine
The first step in achieving and maintaining a gorgeous glow is to have a skincare routine for both morning and evening. It should include washing your face, applying a concentrated dose of active ingredients in the form of a serum, using a moisturiser and wearing SPF during the day to prevent UV damage. Don’t neglect the rest of the skin on your body which can also benefit from actives.
#2: Work on your gut health
Having a healthy gut and a well-functioning microbiome contributes *a lot* to your overall wellbeing. And when you are healthy, it shows! If your gut flora is out of balance, you can experience more breakouts as well as flare-ups of skin conditions. You can prevent these exterior problems by adding probiotics to your life. They should be taken daily and can keep you bloat-free and your complexion radiant.
#3: Nourish your hair + scalp
Your hair is your crowing glory and should be treated with the respect it deserves! This means having a good cleansing regimen that includes nourishing products and ingredients to keep your strands strong, soft and shiny. Use a deep-conditioning mask on a regular basis to add and lock in moisture. Applying an oil or serum can also help to repair damage and make your locks more manageable.
#4: Eat a (mostly) healthy diet
Yes, you can totally eat the occasional chocolate or takeaway meal! But your diet should consist of mostly healthy food. Eats that contain high amounts of antioxidants are great for keeping your complexion bright and even, whereas foods with omega acids and protein are good for your hair. You can also add nutritional supplements to your diet to boost your intake of necessary vitamins and minerals.
#5: Manage your stress levels
Self-care isn’t just a trend – it should be a way of life. This is because it can go a long way in helping you cope with and combat stress. Because when you are stressed, your skin can become dull and lacklustre and your hair can start to fall out. Self-care can be anything from having a relaxing bubble bath, putting on a face mask or engaging in an activity you enjoy that helps you unwind.
#6: Keep your body hydrated
Are you drinking enough water? If not, make this year the one to increase your intake! Not only is it necessary for optimal bodily functioning but it can improve the condition of your skin and hair by keeping you well hydrated. Experts recommend drinking around eight cups a day and more if you live an active life or the weather is hot. Getting a fancy water bottle to carry with you can help you stay on track.
