12 Skin Care Resolutions to Glow-up in 2022
Here are 12 simple skincare resolutions to glow-up in 2022.
1. Remove makeup daily.
That’s right. It seems so simple yet so many of us are guilty of not removing our makeup before bed. Grab a KubWipes wipe, wet it with micellar water or your favorite makeup remover, and remove every last trace of makeup. Remember to take special care around your eyelash line and all the creases and edges of your face wear makeup can sometimes migrate throughout the day.
2. Double-cleanse.
If you’re not sure what double-cleansing is, check out our guide. For makeup wearers, double-cleansing is pretty standard with makeup removal and cleansing, but if you’re new to the process, double-cleansing is a two-step process that first uses an oil-based cleanser to attract excess oil, makeup and dirt from your pores, followed by a water-based cleanser to deep cleanse your skin. Some people prefer to double-cleanse both morning and night, while others with more sensitive skin may only cleanse normally in the morning and double cleanse in the evening. Whatever you decide is best for you skin, remember that Kubwipes 100% Cotton Dry wipes can help you cleanse, and dry your skin for the ultimate sparkly clean.
3. Moisturize.
Follow-up your daily cleansing routine with a moisturizer to help lock in the moisture that your skin so badly craves. Moisturizer creates a barrier to help protect your skin from the elements. The general rule of thumb is to choose a gel-based moisturizer for oily skin, cream o lotion for combination skin and oil or cream-based for dry skin.
4. Always wear SPF.
Whether is June or January, the sun’s rays can damage your skin. Make sure to apply an SPF of 30 or higher every morning to help fight premature skin aging and sun damage. To cut down on products and simplify your routine, many moisturizers include SPF, just make sure the level is high enough to protect your skin.
5. Wash pillowcases regularly.
Pillowcases are infamous for collecting dirt, oil, and dead skin cells from your face and body, so naturally you do not want your skin pressed up against a dirty cloth for 8+ hours a night. Make sure to wash your pillowcase at least once a week in hot water and take care with the detergent you use if you have sensitive skin. Acne and sensitive skin sufferers should also think about investing in a silk pillowcase, and bonus, it’s also great for your hair!
6. Get your zzzs.
With busy schedules and never-ending to-do lists, getting enough sleep is difficult for many people, but this year, let’s make a resolution to go to bed earlier and clock those important sleeping hours. For healthy skin, a healthy body, and a healthy lifestyle, adults should plan to get at least 7 hours a night. There’s a reason they call it “beauty sleep.” 😉
7. Don’t use face towels use KubWipes!
You can read all about how filthy bath and facial towels can be here, but bottom line is they’re gross. If you want to elevate your skin and glow up this year, make the switch to blotting your face dry with 100% Premium Cotton Dry Wipes by KubWipes. They’re cleaner than a towel, thicker and stronger than a tissue and ultrasoft and larger than cotton rounds. After you use a fresh wipe to dry your face, recycle and reuse it in your next cleansing session to remove makeup or wash your face. The natural, cotton fibers will caress your skin and leave it feeling silky soft.
8. Keep your hands off.
Keep your hands off your face! Whether you’re resting your hands on your chin while you contemplate life, or picking a pimple you should have left alone, this is your reminder to keep your hands off your face. The oils in your hands and germs you’ve picked up since the last time you washed them can get into the pores on your face and cause blemishes, blackheads and irritation. Picking at blemishes is also the number one cause of acne scars and hyperpigmentation. The best way to protect yourself is to not touch your face at all. But, if you’re a chronic face-toucher, take baby steps to remind yourself to keep your hands off like wearing scented hand lotion, holding a cotton dry wipe in your hand while you work or wearing gloves.
9. Clean your cell phone with alcohol wipes.
Our mobile phones have become more like lifelines over the years. Not only do we use them to talk on the phone, but now they’re also used for entertainment, directions, as cameras, to pay for things, and connect with friends on social media. Because we’re constantly touching our phones it’s no wonder they’re one of the dirtiest things we touch daily. Keep your phone clean with 75% Alcohol Wipes from KubWipes. Our aloe vera infused wipes are perfect for cleansing all devices safely without damaging electronics and their handy format of large and travel-size packages can be used at home or on the go.
10. Regularly wash makeup brushes.
Here’s another sneaky culprit for many people’s skin problems. Washing your makeup brushes regularly (and we mean more than once a year) will dramatically help improve your skin, especially if you’ve got pesky clogged pores and acne. Makeup brushes collect makeup residue and skin cells which can breed bacteria and should be thoroughly cleaned every week. That’s right, you heard us, clean your makeup brushes weekly! Grab some shampoo, put a dollop in your hand, and scrub, scrub, scrub until the water runs clear.
11. Hydrate.
Take a sip of water right now! No, seriously, we’ll wait. 75% of American are chronically dehydrated which means they do not drink enough water daily. Did you know that once you feel thirsty, your body is already dehydrated? When your body is dehydrated it pulls water away from the skin toward vital organs which can cause a miriad of issues for your skin including premature aging. Staying hydrated will not only help boost your skin health, but also help with fogginess, fatigue, irritablity, and help boost your metabolism. Make a goal to drink more water this year and your skin and your body will thank you.
12. Use clean and natural products like KubWipes.
It’s always a good idea to choose more natural and organic products but it’s not always easy to do. Many products claim to be “natural” even when their ingredient list includes synthetic chemicals and preservatives. KubWipes 100% Natural Cotton Dry Wipes are made from only pure, premium Cotton USA™ with no added chemicals, preservatives, fragrances or skin-irritating ingredients. They’re the perfect wipe for every skin type and every generation!
