5 New Year Skincare Resolutions You Need to Make With Yourself

Obagi skin test

Skincare is especially important at this time of the year. Our skin is dehydrated, dull and rough after Christmas excess, winter winds and late nights. It’s fair to say that it isn’t looking its best. Deep cleansing and a major dose of extra nourishment will help get it back to prime condition though. You’re in a new frame of mind, with positive intentions for 2022. Capitalise on this open mind-set and start the year with a new skincare routine. 

Here are our 5 top skincare resolutions you need to make with yourself.

1. Use an Obagi Skincare System

A skincare system is a full range of products that work synergistically, to complement each-other. By using a full range of products, you’ll obtain optimal results. Every Obagi product has been created to work with the products used before and after it. 

Depending on your concerns, Obagi has a complete skincare system to suit your skin. Available in Normal-Dry and Normal-Oily, Obagi Nu-Derm Fx® System has been formulated to dramatically improve the appearance of hyperpigmentation, whilst balancing and brightening skin tone at the same time. OBAGI360® System has been created to preserve youthful looking skin and is aimed at those in their 20s-30s when blemishes and impurities are still a primary concern. Obagi-C® Fx System is a complete skincare range targeting signs of ageing, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, skin discolouration and sun-damage. Now all you have to do is take the Skin Quiz to find which will work best for you!

2. Cleanse Twice Daily

It’s the age-old advice that’s in every skincare manual. The problem is, many of us skip it. So, why does good skincare start with clean skin? Not only should a good cleanser lift away superficial make-up, dirt, external pollutants and sebum but it should also clean more deeply, preparing the skin to receive further skin products. It’s important to find the right cleanser for your skin type. Check our full product range to choose one that matches your needs. In the meantime, here are some possible solutions.

Obagi Nu-Derm Fx® Foaming Gel 

For normal to oily skin, this gel cleanser from the Obagi Nu-Derm Fx® System, effectively removes makeup, oil residue and impurities caused by the everyday environment. Chamomile Extract, known to reduce irritation, is included for its anti-inflammatory properties. For those with normal to dry skin, opt for Obagi Nu-Derm Fx® Gentle Cleanser instead.

Obagi-C® Fx Cleansing Gel 

With L-ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), it effectively removes makeup, oil and dirt to clarify your skin. Best used as the first step in the Obagi-C® Fx System, this Cleansing Gel prepares your skin to absorb the benefits of your skincare routine and gives you a luminous, even-toned, radiant complexion. Vitamin C has antioxidant properties. This is a perfect product to help defend your skin against free radicals, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and complement new collagen production.

3. Add Retinol to Your Skincare Routine

Retinol, (also known as Vitamin A) is a retinoid. This ingenious ingredient has taken the skincare world by storm. Why? Because it boosts skin cell turnover, minimising the appearance of uneven skin texture, dark spots or hyperpigmentation, and fine lines and wrinkles for clearer, healthy-looking skin. Think again if you’re under the impression that Retinol is only for mature skin. Obagi has a retinol product that’s suitable for every age-group. It’s never too early to begin using retinol to prevent the signs of ageing.

OBAGI360® Retinol 0.5

Aimed at those in their 20s and 30s, OBAGI360® Retinol 0.5 is a low-level retinol cream to help improve complexion and smooth uneven texture. Find OBAGI360® Retinol 0.5 cream as part of the OBAGI360® System or available individually. You can expect clearer, more youthful-looking skin. Signs of ageing are minimised, and it prevents future skin damage. This is an absolute must-have product for 2022.

4. Opt for Longer Lasting Hydration

Obagi Hydrate®

Moisturisers replenish and lock in moisture. However, a moisturiser that provides longer-lasting hydration, and works at a cellular level rather than superficially is Obagi Hydrate®. Obagi Hydrate® contains Hydromanil™ and these molecules form a matrix on the skin’s surface which creates a barrier and can remain on the cells for longer. Thirsty skin is immediately nourished, and further water loss is prevented. Not just that, but this matrix holds water in the layers of the skin, gradually delivering nourishment from active compounds up to eight hours.

Obagi Hydrate Luxe®

Obagi Hydrate Luxe® provides ultra-rich, overnight moisturisation in a luxurious balm-like texture. With biomimetic peptides to boost skin barrier function and Hydromanil™ technology for instant and continuous hydration, also clinically proven for up to 8 hours.

5. Use an SPF

It’s another step that’s often omitted from skincare routines, but one that’s so crucial in the fight against ageing. Obagi Sun Shield Matte™ Broad Spectrum SPF50 offers broad spectrum protection from both UVA and UVB rays. Forget thick gloopy sunscreen, this product leaves a sheer, matte finish to reduce shine as well as sun factor protection 50. Zinc Oxide deflects the UV rays, while Homosalate and Octisalate absorb and release radiation. Recommended for daily use by The Skin Cancer Foundation, this should be an essential step in your morning skincare routine. Obagi Sun Shield Matte™ Broad Spectrum SPF50 is suitable for use with all Obagi Systems. Alternatively, users of the OBAGI360® System, could opt for OBAGI360 HydraFactor® SPF30 instead.
