5 New Year Beauty Resolutions to Make in 2022

The start of a new year is the perfect time to break old habits and embrace new, healthier ones. Here are five beauty resolutions that you'll want to stick with beyond February:

1. Be More Sustainable

We can all contribute to protecting our planet by reducing waste and choosing sustainable options. At Folli Oil, we prioritize using renewable ingredients and packaging our products in recyclable materials. For more information about our eco-friendly ingredients, click here.

2. Clean Your Makeup Brushes Regularly

Dirty makeup brushes can wreak havoc on your skin. Daily use leads to a build-up of sebum, impurities, dust, and dead skin cells, which can harbour harmful bacteria like staphylococcus and E. coli. Aim to clean foundation and concealer brushes weekly and other brushes every fortnight. Simply wet the bristles, add gentle soap, massage, rinse, squeeze out excess moisture, and let them dry hanging off the edge of a counter.

3. Exfoliate 2-3 Times a Week

As we age, our skin needs extra help shedding dead cells. Regular exfoliation prevents clogged pores and enhances the effectiveness of skincare products. It also boosts collagen production, promoting a smoother, brighter complexion. Focus on drier areas like knees, elbows, feet, thighs, and buttocks. Explore our range of exfoliating products, including an exfoliating mitt, body brush, and pumice, for softer, firmer, glowing skin—click here for details.

4. Take Your Makeup Off Before Bed

We've all skipped cleansing before bed, but it's crucial to remove makeup to maintain healthy skin. Leaving makeup on can clog pores, dull your complexion, and make your skin look older and feel dry. It can also lead to irritation and increase the risk of eye infections. Even if you're exhausted, cleanse your face before bed—your skin will thank you!

5. Get Better Sleep

A good night's sleep is essential for overall well-being. Lack of sleep makes us irritable, affects concentration, and increases the risk of colds and depression. It also impacts our skin and hair, leading to dark circles, puffiness, dullness, and hair loss. Establish a healthy bedtime routine and aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night.
