Try these resolutions and product recommendations to make 2025 your year of gorgeous, glowing skin.
After a busy and festive holiday season of get-togethers and treats, the beginning of the year is a great time to focus on YOURSELF. Along with commitment to health and personal improvement, why not set some resolutions to make your skin healthier?
At Kitsilano Medical Aesthetics, we believe that glowing skin is for everyone and achievable with simple steps. Consider these skincare resolutions to enjoy beautiful skin all year round.
- Always Remove Makeup
After a busy day, it can feel tempting to fall asleep without removing mascara, foundation and lipstick—but this is a skincare sin. Beyond ruining your sheets, going to sleep with makeup on clogs your pores, leading to redness and breakouts. It’s essential to cleanse and let your skin breathe overnight. Try SkinCeuticals’ Gentle Cleanser, a creamy, non-foaming cleanser with an emollient-rich surfactant, allantoin, and glycerin to hydrate, soften, and condition your skin.
- Exfoliate Twice a Week
Exfoliating your face when you’re in the shower or bath sloughs away dead skin and excess oils, leaving skin clean, smooth and glowing. We recommend the Micro-Exfoliating Scrub with hydrated silica, which effectively cleanses pores and exfoliates, leaving skin feeling soft, hydrated, and smooth. Dr. Kamani recommends Micro-Exfoliating Scrub to complement most acne and anti-aging regimens. You get an instant glow, allowing your skin to absorb the product more efficiently, increasing beneficial results.
- Make Time for Masks
Skincare is self-care. For people who like to feel pampered, moisturizing masks like SkinCeuticals’ Hydrating B5 Masque is the way to go! Formulated with high concentrations of hyaluronic acid and vitamin B5, this intensely hydrating gel mask offers an instant, fuss-free moisture boost. It re-establishes the water balance critical for keeping skin metabolic functions at optimal levels. Mask once or twice a week in the evening before bed for a deeply nourished and dewy skin by morning!
- Use Vitamin C Serum
Vitamin C serum is an essential part of everyone’s skincare regimen. Whether you have oily, dry, or acne-prone skin, Vitamin C protects your skin against environmental aggressors such as wind, dust, and dirt. It also helps with improving the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. If you’re looking to start using Vitamin C serum, SkinCeuticals Serum 10 AOX+ is a good option for first-time users and sensitive skin.
Serum 10 AOX+ incorporates the restorative power of Vitamin C 0.2% ferulic acid and 10% pure L-Ascorbic. This formula works for everyone and is a winner for the 2022 Chatelaine Beauty Award.
- Go Back to Basics
One of the most basic skin care steps is to invest in a good moisturizer, that works for your skin type. SkinCeuticals is known for having a superior roster of clinically tested skincare products, one of which is the award-winning Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2. This patented anti-aging immediately revives the skin, thanks to its 2:4:2 cholesterol-dominant formula. Use it every day to help restore skin’s external barrier and support natural self-repair. It potently nourishes and improves the appearance of skin’s smoothness, pores, and overall radiance.
Remember, skin care is all about self-love! Taking care of yourself feels good, and sometimes, the most minor changes can make a big difference in the Health and Beauty of your skin.
