Of all the resolutions I've ever made at the start of the each year, perhaps the only one I've ever kept is that time I pledged to buy nicer shoes. Some of us are great with keeping promises to ourselves, but others do stumble or give up. When it comes to beauty-centric resolutions, it's always a good idea to introduce positive new habits into your skincare regimen with the new year, but if your life gets in the way, there's no need to feel bad or disappointed. All you need is some new tactics, tools or techniques--and that's where this cheat sheet comes in.
Resolution: I will take care of my skin, part 2
Taking particular care of your skin is not necessarily about buying an a full box of serums or getting regular facials (though that never hurts): it’s far more important to look at your current behaviours and examine what you can improve. Yes, drink more water and never skimp on sunscreen, but if you’re looking for an even easier improvement to make, just start actually washing your makeup brushes instead of putting it off indefinitely. Product accumulates and so does bacteria in a kit that’s never rinsed through, and a quick wash once a week or twice a month is all it takes to ensure your equipment is in suitable condition to use. You don’t even need a fancy brush cleanser–plenty of professional makeup artists make do with their personal face wash or a simple drugstore staple like Johnson’s Baby Shampoo ($5) As a bonus, regularly inspecting your brushes also lets you know which ones need replacing and just when.
