Although we often fail to accomplish all of our resolutions, there is something irresistible regarding making this list and starting the year off on the right foot.
Therefore, we share with you the keys to achieving it and present four resolutions that will not only improve your general health and well-being, but will also benefit your skin. Let’s go together in this new beginning!
Why do we celebrate?
We celebrate another year full of adventures, new opportunities and moments that have been indelibly etched in your memory. As with any journey, you have experienced ups and downs, but each of these moments has been a valuable lesson.
In this celebration, we recognize the importance of small gestures: a sweet smile, a kind act or the impact of words. We honor our skin, that shield that accompanies us in every step and experience.
And above all, we celebrate the 365 fresh opportunities unfolding before us, with a constant commitment to caring for and loving ourselves in every way imaginable.
Here we present how you can make the most of each of them:
1. Take time for yourself
Amid the daily demands and fast pace of the world around us, it is essential to find time to take care of yourself. Whether in the morning, before bed or as a break during work.
Subtract 10 minutes a day from the time you spend on your phone and dedicate them to yourself. Aware that we spend a lot of time looking at our phone without noticing it, those minutes might be transformed into moments for activities that you really enjoy. Start by reducing your cell phone usage by 10 minutes a day and spend them pampering yourself: painting your nails, calmly applying serums and creams, or immersing yourself in reading a book. Do what you have wanted to do for a long time and give yourself that space.
Once you make it a habit and experience its benefits, you can extend this time to 20, 30 minutes, or whatever your body and mind need.
These moments are not only a gift for your general well-being, but they also have a positive impact on your skin. Slowing down and relaxing has a direct impact on your appearance, significantly improving your condition. Your skin reflects your inner well-being and, when you are relaxed and happy, it simply radiates luminosity.

When you relax, levels of hormones like oxytocin increase, while cortisol decreases. In simple terms, this hormonal balance promotes more radiant and healthy skin.
2. Adopt a healthier diet
Surely you are already aware of all the benefits that come with improving your diet, which is why it is such a recurring resolution on New Year’s lists. Our main suggestion is that you don’t feel overwhelmed. Improving your eating habits involves adopting healthy changes in a sustainable way over time.
A great way to start is to think regarding what healthy foods you can add to your diet: try adding a new healthy food each month.

The benefits for your skin are notable. Did you know that diet can have an impact on the formation of wrinkles? A balanced diet, enriched with antioxidant foods such as vitamin A, B, C and minerals, can help delay the appearance of signs of aging on the skin.
You can also include more foods with high water content, such as fruits and vegetables, as they promote better skin hydration, resulting in softer and healthier skin. Another option is to incorporate foods rich in collagen and elastin to improve the natural elasticity of the skin.
3. A year with more sports
Another classic resolution on New Year’s lists is to incorporate more physical activity, and it is not surprising, since sport provides countless benefits to our well-being, elevates our mood and improves the health of our skin.
Establishing one day a week to start a sports routine can be of great help. You can decide to walk or run on Sunday mornings, join a spin class on Fridays following work, or structure your plan around your preferences and schedule.

Don’t feel overwhelmed, there are a wide variety of sports, and you don’t have to like them all. This year, be encouraged to try, experiment and find your favorite activity. Also, start gradually. In the first month, invest 15 minutes; in the next, 20; then 30… Progressively increase the duration until you achieve a weekly routine that you fully enjoy.
