Top 20 Beauty & Health Resolutions to Consider for 2026
1) Always Wear a Sunscreen: It might not be sunny outside, but your skin still needs SPF protection. We are not exempt from excessive UV exposure even during the cold months of the year. There are so many high quality sunscreens on the market that will not disturb your makeup, and that offer UVA and UVB protection. I was told by a dermatologist here in Los Angeles, who treats skin cancer on a daily basis, that one should never step foot outside without using a minimum SPF 30 on all exposed areas of the skin 12 months of the year. I apply sunscreen to my face, neck, décolleté and hands in the rain or shine. Tip: Check the expiration date on all of your sunscreens, and toss and replace those that have expired.
2) Do Wear Sunglasses: Protect your eyes and the delicate area around them. Skin cancer and melanoma are real concerns, and the delicate skin around your eyes is quite vulnerable to the rays of the sun. Furthermore, excessive exposure ages the skin, and therefore bigger sunglasses that cover more surface area will definitely also help to stave-off unwanted premature fine lines and wrinkles.
3) Drink Plenty of Water: We all know that staying hydrated is very important, and drinking plenty of water is the best way to achieve this. Carrying a water bottle around with you is a great way to keep your body hydrated, and it also helps to flush out toxins, and this often translates to a much brighter complexion.
4) Get Plenty of Sleep: We all know that getting good sleep is vital to good health, and that sleep deprivation can wreak havoc on the body. So much happens in the body while we sleep, and often times things like puffy eyes, dark circles, a sallow complexion, fine lines and dull skin are a result of sleep deprivation. Rather than buying piles of products to treat each of these concerns, consider getting more sleep and let your body heal itself. Think about addressing the cause rather than treating the symptoms. It is also a very good idea to consult your doctor since there could be health concerns at issue.
5) Clean Your Makeup Brushes and Beauty Sponges Regularly: Using your beauty blender sponges and makeup brushes on a daily basis means that they obviously become dirty, but they also can harbor all sorts of bacteria that can cause breakouts and infections. Get in the habit of thoroughly cleaning them frequently to avoid contaminating the makeup that they touch, and your skin.
8) You Don't Need to Buy Everything that Your Favorite Bloggers Use, Review or Feature: You have to remember that beauty bloggers are not normal consumers. Sure, we still buy plenty of products and receive press samples, but testing lots and lots of products is very different than using your daily Holy Grail products. Part of what we do, is test things so that you can gather enough information about how a product performs to either consider getting it, or to rule it out. Furthermore, quality skincare and makeup products are expensive– so why waste your money buying things that you know you won't use.
11) Do Treat Your Hands, Neck and Décolleté as You Would Your Face: These three areas have a tendency to age faster because of their inherent exposure to the elements coupled with the neglect that they so often receive. The best thing that any of us can do early on is to nourish and protect these vulnerable areas. Pamper them with nourishing and hydrating serums and creams, and then slather them with sunscreen. Give them the same attention as you do your face.
12) Do Scrutinize the Ingredients in the Beauty Products You Use: There are many ingredients that we slather on our skin that may not be very healthy for us. Remember that the skin is our largest organ, and products that we use are absorbed into our bodies. It is worthwhile taking the time to learn about the safety of the ingredients that we introduce into our bodies. The Environmental Working Group (EWG) has a cosmetics database, called EWG Skin Deep that rates products for their levels of toxicity, as well as individual ingredients.

13) Do Consider Adding Some More Natural-Leaning Products into Your Beauty Routine: We live in a chemical-laden world, and unless you vow to live the life of a penitent monk living in a cave in the mountains, then you will likely be exposed to plenty of harmful chemicals in your lifetime. Try to rotate a few healthier products into your items into your daily routine to give yourself a break from all of the chemicals in the mainstream beauty products that we use. A really good place to start is by trying some of the many more natural deodorants.
15) Do Consider Adding a Beauty Oil into Your Skincare Routine: You already know that I am a huge proponent of high quality beauty oils, and I have used them for many many years. However, in the last few years they have gained considerable traction in the marketplace, and as a result the market has been flooded with so many different varieties. If you have always been afraid to try one, or if you have oily skin and think it's counterintuitive to add oil to oily skin, then it's time to have a closer look at this phenomenon that has taken the beauty world by storm. First, there are different types of oils that address the needs of every imaginable skin type– including acne prone skin. Second, high quality oils deliver hydration deeper and faster than heavier creams, and can be exceedingly nourishing. There are wonderful beauty oils that range from the most affordable and easy to come by, to the ultra luxurious varieties with steep price tags.
16) Do Think Twice Before Applying Skincare and Makeup Testers to Your Skin: Tests have found store testers to contain bacteria (such as E. coli), viruses, fecal matter, mold, and more. This is enough to think twice before trying that lipstick on. If you really want to try it, ask the SA if it is possible to open a new product so that you are the first to us it.
17) Do Consider Adding Retinol into Your Beauty Routine: Retinol, which is a Vitamin A derivative, is a highly effective ingredient that lightens hyperpigmentation, softens fine lines, increases skin turn-over, fights dull skin, and boosts collagen production. Just be sure to start out with a very mild (low percentage) retinol and patch test it first. Since retinol causes photosensitivity, it is a product best used at night. For this reason you need to make sure to be diligent about using your sunscreen to keep your skin protected (and to avoid hyper and/or hypo-pigmentation). If you have any moles, discoloration, uneven texture, precancerous lesions, undiagnosed skin cancer or melanoma– or anything that doesn't seem quite right– then make an appointment to have your doctor or dermatologist evaluate your skin before you try a treatment like Retinol-based products, or any physical and chemical exfoliants.
18) Add Hyaluronic Acid into Your Beauty Routine: If you find that your skin is prone to dehydration, then adding topical Hyaluronic Acid into your beauty routine is a great solution for thirsty skin. It is an astonishingly effective humectant that attracts and retains water molecules from the environment and it rehydrates the surface of the skin swiftly. If you are a beauty blogger who repeatedly swatches on your arm, then be sure to add some Hyaluronic Acid underneath your moisturizer before you start your swatch-fest, your skin will thank you. Many products on the market contain Hyaluronic Acid, but you can also buy it separately.You only need to use a small amount, and the results are immediate.
19) Try to Stop Picking Pimples, Blackheads and Whiteheads: It's not just that you can damage the skin and cause scarring, but also because you transfer the germs from your fingers and nails right into your skin which can really exacerbate the situation. Use a spot treatment product to rid yourself of the breakout rather than turning a mole hill into a mountain. If you are looking to have extractions performed properly, get a facial from a licensed and reputable esthetician or from a reputable esthetics dermatologist.
