Today, we have a look at 6 beauty habits, tips, and options that you can embrace next year, so grab your beauty blender and read on to find out more!
1. Go All In
If you're looking to go all in and really give yourself the ultimate makeover in 2021, there are a wide number of cosmetic procedures that you can get done both in the clinic and under the knife. If you're hoping to enter 2021 completely fresh-faced and looking 10 years younger, some popular procedures include facelifts, injectable fillers, laser skin resurfacing, and even anti-wrinkle injections. Of course, it is important that you choose an expert who is experienced in facelifts in Australia and always ensure that you do your research prior to making your final decision.
Most cosmetic procedures require close to no down time with the exception of facelifts that will require a short recovery period post surgery. Regardless of which one you choose, you are sure to be thrilled with the results that you achieve. It's time to go all in in 2021!
2. Minimalism Is The Way to Go
With all the hurdles that 2020 threw us, it is no surprise that many people have shifted towards a more minimalist approach when it comes to makeup and cosmetics. With nowhere to go and endless amounts of time on our hands, this year has seen people focusing on skincare and overall skin health more than ever before. According to research by Mintel, one in five women is spending longer on their skincare routine than they were prior to lockdown.
In 2021, we predict that cosmetic bags will shrink to include the bare minimum such as tinted moisturisers, lip tints, serums, toners and other natural products that give the face a youthful glow.
3. The Beauty Cat Nap
Did you know that not getting enough rest and relaxation can actually lead to dull, dry and poor looking skin? Your skin gets tired due to dehydration, poor sleep and constant exposure to pollution on a daily basis - a deadly concoction for rough, dull and tired skin. The solution? A beauty cat nap.
Take time each day or at least a few times a week to thoroughly cleanse/wash your face, apply a fruit mask, and shut your eyes for a minimum of 15 minutes. This quick and easy beauty cat nap is one of the best ways to refresh your skin and keep it glowing all day long. It doesn't stop there though - it is important that you get a minimum of 7-8 hours of sleep each night as this will help to promote collagen synthesis for fresher, more youthful-looking skin.
4. Don't Forget Hair Care
2021 is all about keeping your hair looking thick, healthy and fabulous. Due to lockdowns in 2020, many people have not been able to visit their local salons for hair treatments, trims and other hair-boosting procedures. Thankfully, with life returning to its new normal, we can all now give our hair some much needed TLC.
If you suffer from thin, brittle, or damaged hair then we highly recommend investing in some high-quality hair serums, shampoos, and conditioners that will promote thick, shiny, and healthy hair. You can even book yourself in for a keratin hair treatment at your local salon that will rebuild your hair by replacing the lost protein into your strands.
5. IPL Hair Removal
Sick and tired of always having to shave or wax? Thanks to IPL hair removal, stubbly legs are now a thing of the past. Laser treatment doesn't have to be expensive or inconvenient - in fact, dozens of brands are now selling at home IPL devices that allow you to do the job yourself and in the comfort of your own home. These devices are relatively inexpensive and excellent at stopping hair growth after 6-8 sessions. You can use your IPL device on most parts of the body, but do take precaution if you are someone who suffers from skin conditions such as eczema or psoriasis.
6. Protect Your Skin With SPF
Last but most importantly, using sunscreen, moisturisers, and foundations with SPF is so important. If you aren't already slathering your SPF on, the time has come for you to commit to protecting your skin. SPF offers numerous benefits for your skin such as protecting it from UV rays that cause wrinkles, dullness, and pigmentation. Products such as moisturisers, body creams, and makeup with added SPF have been proven to visibly reduce the signs of ageing.
When purchasing your cosmetics or skincare, always opt for products that have an SPF of 30 or higher and protect against UVB and UVA rays. While SPF 15 is the minimum recommendation for protection against sunburn and skin cancer, we highly recommend doubling up with a minimum of 30, just to be safe.
