5 Beauty Resolutions You'll Want To Keep in 2019

The new year is upon us.  Rather than making resolutions that are virtually impossible to stick to (are you really going to go to the gym every. single. day?!), why not make some resolutions that you'll actually want to keep beyond January? 

 

Instead of embarking on a year of broken promises, use it as an opportunity to make some realistic and honest changes.

 

Here we share 5 simple, effective and very doable, New Years beauty resolutions...

 

1. I'll drink more water

   We all know we should be drinking 2 litres of water a day, but are we actually doing it?  We don't need to tell you the wonders staying hydrated does for your hair, skin & nails.  Keep a bottle of water on your desk, have a glass when you get up in the morning, liven things up with a couple of fruit infusions - you'll be up to 8 glasses in no time
   
   

2. I'll keep my make-up brushes clean

   Be honest - when was the last time you cleaned your make-up brushes?  We use our tools every day to work our beauty magic, but all too often we forget that they could lay host to all kinds of bacteria which can cause break-outs. Make sure you wash your brushes regularly.  A little baby shampoo and some running lukewarm water should do the job nicely.

3. I'll wear SPF

   It's not just for Summer.  You should always incorporate sunscreen in your make-up routine.  There are tonnes of foundations, moisturisers and primers that contain SPF, it's the best (and easiest) way to help prevent premature ageing of the skin.
   
   

4. I'll say no-no to the yo-yo

   We don't know what fad diets are going to be en vogue this year, but what we do know is that  yo-yo dieting wreaks havoc on our hair, skin and nails.  Whatever you choose to do, make sure you choose healthy, balanced options which will keep you looking (and feeling) your best.  A great way to get your much needed nutrients alongside a healthy eating plan is to take food supplements - try Pink Cloud Beauty Co's 3 in 1 Collagen Beauty Drink (£24.99 for a 30 days' supply).

5. I'll stop hoarding 

   Still got remnants of that amazing discontinued foundation that are clinging onto the insides of the bottle?  What about that limited edition lipstick that is your favourite colour ever?  You managed to cope with life before them; I daresay you had other favourites before you knew they existed.  Make-up has a shelf-life, and using it past it's lifespan an transfer bacteria to your face.  Out with the old and in with the new - throw away your old stuff and go and find yourself some new favourites
