New Year, New You in 2023

We’ve all heard the saying “new year, new you” and while it might seem like a cliche, what better way to start the new year, than focusing on yourself? While most people set unrealistic resolutions they have no intention of keeping, why don’t you start by working on your outside in. Invest in some key products to feel good about how you look in January, and slowly start working towards being the best you that you can possibly be over the following 11 months. Because while beauty comes from within, sometimes your self confidence needs a little helpful boost. We’re lucky we live in such a day and age where you can so often buy that from the store! So go on, treat yourself!

You can find everything you need to make a start on your whole new you from Lancome at parfumdreams.

Invest in Anti-Aging

Did you know that some experts say you should start using anti agining products in your 20s? If like me you’re already in your 30s you may feel like you’ve missed the boat! Thankfully if you have had a skin care routine there is a high chance you’ll already have been using products with active ingredients in. But as you head towards your forties and enter into perimenopause it might be time for you to start adding proper anti-aging products into your routine. While anti-aging products might feel pricy, they’re worth it to keep your skin looking healthy and supple as your body goes through changes as you age.

Care for Your Skin

As I mentioned above, it’s important to have a good skin routine, not matter what age you’re at. If you don’t have one established yet, now is the time to do it. It’s important to figure out what works best for you. Remember to use SPF every day, the higher the factor, the better it is for your skin. Also ensure you remove your make up every night and cleanse your skin before moisturising.

Curate Your Base

When it comes to make up, the most important thing to get right is your base. Making sure you have a foundation that doesn’t dry out your skin, gives you good coverage and also matches your skin tone is vital. Once you have your foundation picked, concealer to cover up any blemishes or dark circles and finish off with some setting powder and you’ll be good to go!

Change Up Your Colours

Now onto the “new” you aspect. Everyone has their go to colours when it comes to their make up. Some favour red lipstick, while others love a smokey eye. So why not try something new in 2023? Changing your colours can change your whole look and if you don’t try something and experiment a little, you’ll never know if there is something out there that makes you feel even better about yourself. It doesn’t need to be a huge change, swap out that bold lip for something a little more neutral, you never know, you may love it!

Find A New Signature Scent

And while you’re trying something new with your make up, you should 100% find a new signature scent for 2023. If you don’t have a signature scent, why not? It’s that go to perfume that smells good on you and no, it won’t smell good on everyone else. While some people change their signature scent with the seasons, for the most part they stick with the same “notes” because they know it works. I definitely have a summer scent and a winter scent, but what they both have in common is the fact they’re warm and sweet. It might take you some time to identify your signature scent, but it’s worth it!

Make 2023 the year you feel good about yourself!
