Our Editors Share Their 2018 Skin Care Resolutions
Go to the gym more often. Eat better. Get back in touch with long-lost friends. These are popular new year’s resolutions for many. And while those are all good ways to step into 2018, don’t forget about caring for your skin, too. If you’ve been slacking on your skin care routine or skipping crucial steps, now’s the time to vow to take on better habits. Even our editors are copping up to what they could be doing better for their skin, and making it a goal to do those very things in the new year. Scroll through for our editors’ skin care resolutions for 2018.
Kickstart an Anti-Aging Routine
“In 2018 I’m dedicating myself to a strict evening, anti-aging skin care routine. To help ensure that I’m being as preventative as possible with the aging process, I’m setting nightly alarms to remind myself to take a few minutes and complete a routine that I know will benefit my complexion in the long run.” — Rebecca Norris
Keep Dirty Hands Away from Face
“In this upcoming year, the one skin care goal I want to work on a bit more aggressively than the rest is to keep my hands off my face. Your hands carry dirt, bacteria, oil and other impurities that can transfer easily to your face if you aren't careful about keeping them away. This can then cause clogged pores and subsequent breakouts to occur more easily.” — Savannah Maroney
Wash Skin Care Tools & Makeup Brushes
“I’m going to make a resolution to take better care of the things that come into contact with my skin daily. This includes being more proactive with washing my makeup brushes, pillowcases and sheets. It also means rotating out the brush head on my Clarisonic more often, as well as replacing my loofah before it has a chance to harbor bacteria. This can help reduce my chances of developing acne mechanica, breakouts which result from materials or objects touching the face.” — Jessica Khorsandi
Book Regular Skin Checks
"In 2018, I plan to make it a habit to schedule more checkups with my dermatologist. It's just so important, and after learning that skin cancer is one of the most common skin concerns dermatologists see every single week, I’m even more motivated to book my skin check.” — Claire Rodgers
Be More Diligent with SPF & Exfoliate Regularly
“I plan on being as diligent as I can with sun protection—applying broad-spectrum sunscreen every day as well as covering up whenever I'm outside. I rarely ever exfoliate, so I want to make that part of my regular beauty routine in 2018, too. My skin can sometimes look a little dull, and I'm hoping that by exfoliating regularly, I can brighten up its appearance.” — Christina Heiser
Swap Out Dirty Pillowcases
"In 2017 I made a commitment to always remove my makeup before bed (had to practice what I preach) and for 2018 I've settled on another nighttime-focused resolution. My goal is to change my (preferably silk) pillowcase more often. Everyone knows the importance of a consistent skin care routine, but you may not factor your laundry schedule into the equation for keeping your skin clear." — Margaret Fisher
