The New Year is an opportunity for a clean slate in all aspects of your life. It’s a fresh start – a time to prioritize yourself again. Here’s your reminder to indulge in self-care this year and let your most confident, radiant self shine through.
If you’re ready to embark on a skincare journey in 2024, we’d like to share our secret to achieving smooth, glowy skin with you. With these 5 steps to smooth, glowy skin, dull skin, dry patches, and pimples will be a thing of the past.
If you want to ring in the New Year with healthy, glowy, skin and your skin is anything butglowy right now, it’s time to send in the big guns. Instead of trying to force that dewy glow on your skin when it’s looking dry and dull, follow our 5-step process.
In just a few days, you’ll detox your pores, remove impurities, rehydrate the skin, and finally restore that radiance you’re missing.
Here’s the 5-step plan to achieving perfect skin in 2024:
By the end of this article, you’ll leave dead skin cells in 2023 and solidify a strong morning and night routine to carry you through the year.
With the help of some all-star products, this process will be fun and easy. You’ll be basking in your dewy, glowy skin in no time!
We want to embark on this new skin journey without bringing over any old baggage from 2023, right? That means it’s time to purge impurities from the skin to make room for that 2024 glow. The best way to do this is by using a detoxifying face mask.
Mud masks are one of the most popular forms of detox masks because of their many benefits. You might shy away from traditional mud masks because they’re so messy, but the SmartMud™ Mask isn’t your average mud mask – it comes in the form of a convenient no-mess sheet mask! This means you won’t have to pick out clumps of clay from your hair and ears once you’re done with it.
Instead of spending time lathering on a thick layer of mud, all you have to do is apply the dual-lined sheet mask to cleansed skin.
Sit back, relax, and let volcanic ash, kaolin clay, and activated charcoal work their magic. The potent blend of minerals, antioxidants, and botanical extracts works together to draw out impurities, excess oil, and toxins from deep within your pores.
As the mask dries, it gently exfoliates dead skin cells, minimizes pores, and improves overall skin texture, leaving your complexion smoother and more refined.
The next step is exfoliation, which is overlooked far too often. Exfoliation is the key to smooth skin that lets light bounce off, creating that dewy, radiant glow we all love. Without a smooth complexion, it’s really hard to achieve that dewy glow.
This is for everyone struggling with dull, rough, textured skin – your skin might just need a good exfoliation!
According to SELF, “your body sheds [buildup] on its own through a process called skin cell turnover, but this usually takes a month or two, depending on your age (the older you are, the slower the turnover”.
When you exfoliate, you speed up this cycle, revealing newer, more radiant skin and a smoother facial texture underneath all that old buildup.
We’reliterally shedding away the layers of 2023 to reveal a new YOU in 2024!
For an easy, 10-minute exfoliation, try Exfoliate Mate sheet mask infused with pineapple and papaya extracts to gently remove dead skin cells and impurities from the skin’s surface. Your skin will thank you for exfoliating by revealing a smoother and brighter complexion!
Lactic acid also provides chemical exfoliation, which means it dissolves the bonds between dead skin cells, helping them shed while reducing the appearance of fine lines to enhance overall skin radiance.
Now that we’ve detoxed the skin and exfoliated impurities away, it’s time to start replenishing any lost moisture and radiance. With the right skincare products, this will be easier than it sounds.
There are so many different ways to restore moisture levels in the skin, but here are some of our favorites:
When it comes to hydration, Hydrate 5-Minute Sheet Mask is the best way to banish dry, dull, or patchy skin.
This sheet mask has 3 key ingredients that will quickly and effectively reduce dryness:
Restore moisture in your skin in as little as five minutes with this mask - that’s up to four times faster than traditional sheet masks!
Pro-Tip: We recommend using the Hydrate mask the day after SmartMud Detox to restore and moisturize your skin.
If you’re new to lip masks, welcome to the place where sexy lips go to thrive! Let’s be real – flaky, dry lips don’t exactly match the vibe of radiant, dewy, and glowing skin that we’re aiming for.
The secret to hydrated, fuller lips is Hydrating Lip Gels. In just 5 minutes, a soothing blend of vitamins and antioxidants provides deep hydration to soften, smooth, and diminish the appearance of fine lines around your lips, locking in moisture and revealing a soft and supple pout.
To keep your newfound moisture locked into your lips, you need to try the Lip Service Gloss-to-balm Treatment.This Patchology team fav has over 120 Reviews with 4.7 stars because of the delicious burst of hydration it delivers to dry, chapped lips, leaving them feeling soft, smooth, and supple.
How does it go from gloss to balm, you ask? As you apply the gloss, it slowly melts into a soothing balm that nourishes and conditions your delicate lip skin. It also provides a dual layer of protection! The treatment layer creates a physical barrier on your lips, while the active barrier, rich in antioxidants and pro-vitamins, provides continued protection against dryness and environmental stressors.
It’s formulated with goji berries, aloe, and honey, which provide a cushion of hydration that locks in moisture for ultimate softness. Peppermint extract, Vitamin B3, and niacinamide also work together to deeply moisturize and plump your lips, giving you a full, sexy pout.
Once you’re done detoxing the skin and replenishing lost moisture, it’s time to experiment with ways to get dewy, glowy skin.
