Good resolutions for the face
New Year’s Resolution #1: I take my makeup off every night
This phrase is probably familiar to you, but do you know the reasons behind it? Removing makeup is the first essential beauty step for beautiful skin. Whether you wear makeup or not, your skin is put to the test every day: dust, pollution, sebum, and dead skin cells accumulate on its surface and suffocate it.
To allow it to breathe again, it must be meticulously cleansed of all these impurities before nightfall, its favorite time to regenerate.
Uncleansed or poorly cleansed skin leads to clogged pores, a dull complexion, and the appearance of blackheads and pimples. To maintain radiant, healthy skin, it's important to cleanse your skin in the evening by carefully removing your makeup. Choose your favorite technique, whether it's micellar water, cleansing foam, cleansing milk, or melting oil, to make this new habit a truly enjoyable experience.
New Year’s Resolution #2: I do a face mask once a week
Are you familiar with the morning and evening cleansing and moisturizing combination and are you already part of your beauty routine? To take things a step further, we suggest using a face mask once or twice a week. We have a soft spot for Payot's ultra-effective Morning Masks, which are packed with active ingredients and very easy to use. Each face mask addresses a specific skin need thanks to its targeted action. Hydrate, purify, revive radiance, nourish, or smooth the epidermis: choose the one that best suits your current skin needs.
To start the new year off in the best possible way, we recommend the Morning Mask Hangover. A true vitamin cocktail, it awakens the complexion's radiance, leaving skin feeling detoxified. Apply in the morning before your day cream, and the results are visible in 15 minutes, stopwatch in hand!
New Year's Resolution #3: I'm incorporating PAYOT Gestuelle® into my beauty routine
Did you say "gym"? Don't panic, this isn't about going to the gym, as it's right in front of your bathroom mirror! La Gestuelle® PAYOT is not a workout like any other. On the agenda: taking care of your face every day in a simple, quick, and effective way. This facial exercise only takes a minute a day and offers visible results after just a few weeks. Wrinkles are smoothed, skin is toned, facial contours are reshaped, and the complexion is boosted in radiance.
La Gestuelle® PAYOT includes an easy sequence of 10 postures, each to be performed twice. The ideal time to incorporate this new beauty routine? In the morning when you get up or in the evening before going to bed. We've already adopted it!
Good resolutions for the body
New Year’s Resolution #4: I exfoliate once a week
Soft, supple skin is in sight! Exfoliation allows the body to renew its skin. It removes the dead cells that continually accumulate on the surface of the epidermis, making way for fresh, young cells.
Result: The skin's texture is refined, and the skin is smooth and satiny. In addition, exfoliation allows the active ingredients in the treatments to penetrate the dermis more easily, making them even more effective.
This year's the one: set aside a time during the week, an evening or a weekend, to treat yourself to a pampering break. Using an exfoliating glove or simply the palms of your hands, gently massage the exfoliating treatment into your damp skin using circular motions. For best results, don't forget to follow with moisturizer.
New Year’s Resolution #5: I moisturize my hands regularly
Often neglected despite being used a lot, we often forget that the skin on our hands is fragile and needs attention. Did you know? Our hands are one of the parts of the body that first show signs of aging. They dry out easily, wrinkle quickly, and are commonly prone to pigmentation spots.
Our tip for keeping hands looking youthful and soft: always carry a moisturizing hand cream in your bag! We're fans of the Mini Velvet Hand Creams. Their small sizes are easy to take anywhere and slip easily into any handbag. Their creamy texture with a powdery finish instantly penetrates the skin, leaving no greasy film. Ideally, you should apply your hand cream several times a day, whenever you remember to or as soon as you see the tube while reaching for your purse, for example. The added bonus? Its pretty, colorful design.
THE resolution to start the new year in style
New Year’s Resolution #6: I listen to myself!
Making new resolutions doesn't have to be synonymous with stress and pressure—quite the opposite, in fact. Resolutions can be seen as a goal to strive for, with the aim of helping us become a better version of ourselves. Change rarely happens overnight, but rather takes time. So don't be too hard on yourself; the most important thing is to stay the course. Listen to yourself, your desires, and your needs; lightening your to-do list can sometimes be a good thing!
