6 Grooming Essentials to Bring Into the New Year
When it comes to the New Year, many look to reinvent themselves through their appearance and lifestyle. Most New Year’s resolutions involve losing weight and being the best version of ourselves. While weight loss has bigger benefits than appearance, like improved health, proper grooming is one area that benefits your appearance. Like anything else in life, you’ll get the best results with the right tools, so keep reading for the grooming essentials everyone needs to bring into 2023.
Regular Nail Care
Whether you go to a salon every two weeks for your manicures and pedicures or DIY them at home on self-care nights, committing to regular nail care during the new year is essential. Though there was a time a couple of years ago when none of us were shaking hands, we’re back to greeting each other the old-fashioned way, so put your best foot (and hand) forward with clean cuticles, trendy nail colors, and everything else that goes with proper nail care.
The Right Scent
A huge part of people’s impression of us is how we smell, hence why we put deodorant on every day. Kick things up a notch as you head into the new year, and keep it up all year long by finding a signature fragrance to wear each day. Not only does wearing and learning about the right cologne or perfume types make you smell great, but it can also boost your mood and confidence levels and make you infinitely more attractive to others – who doesn’t want that next year?
Under Eye Cream
It doesn’t matter your age, race, or gender; everyone needs to pay attention to their undereye area. The skin on our faces is delicate, we know this, but the skin underneath our eyes is even more fragile. Please pay attention to it by investing in a high-quality, deeply hydrating under-eye cream. It will improve your appearance by reducing fine lines and wrinkles, puffiness, and dark circles, and it’s great for your health. Our skin is our body’s largest organ, so honor it under your eyes with an eye cream in your grooming routine.
Regular Hair Trims
If you’re not already a regular at your barber shop or hair salon, make the resolution to do that this upcoming year. Not only are regular trims a great way to stay looking your best, but they also promote hair growth as well as health. Whether you’re looking to completely revamp your look with a new style or want to take care of split ends, regularly checking in with your stylist is key.
Liquid Exfoliators
Everybody wants brighter and smoother skin; depending on your age, you may remember a certain apricot scrub that wreaked havoc on our teenage complexions. While textured exfoliating scrubs are great for your body, you want to include a liquid exfoliator when it comes to delicate facial skin. Men and women can benefit from these exfoliators containing glycolic, salicylic, lactic, or phytic acid. They can help with acne, inflammation, brightening, and a host of other skin concerns. Level up your exfoliating game by opting only for liquid exfoliators in the new year.
Weekly Hair Masks
Whether or not you do weekly facial or hair masks doesn’t matter; what matters is the frequency with which you do them. Committing to weekly hair masks can be a game-changer regarding your hair’s overall health and appearance. Whether your hair is short or to your waist, leaving a mask on for 7 to 10 minutes while relaxing in the shower is a great way to get Hollywood hair without visiting the salon. Whether it’s cold or hot outside, hair needs intense hydration every week. If you have specific hair concerns, like frizz or color-treated hair, consult with your stylist to determine which product is best for your hair type and issues.
Committing to proper grooming is a great way to look and feel your best as you head into the new year and all throughout it. How we groom ourselves says a lot about us and is essential to how we present ourselves to the rest of the world. Present yourself perfectly, and happy New Year!
