10 New Year beauty resolutions that our Bella Babes can definitely get on board with

 

We’re already mid-way through January and for some most of us, the New Year Resolutions have long gone out the window. But that doesn’t mean you should ditch them all together. Here at Bellamianta, we firmly believe that resolutions should make us feel better. It’s all about simple steps with mega benefits! With this in mind, we’ve put together 10 beauty inspired resolutions, which will help you feel and look a million dollars this January!

 

 

1. Clean your make-up brushes

Hands up how many of us are guilty of not cleaning our make-up brushes?! You just have to head to your favourite Insta blogger’s account to hear them preaching the importance of regularly cleaning your brushes. It’s time to get on board with this Bella Babes! Not only can dirty brushes make for a less flawless application, these are laden with hidden germs and bacteria, which can make our skin more prone to breakouts. Ouch!

 

2. Care for your colour

While we love our bi-monthly trip to the salon for a pop of fresh hair colour, we’re always keen to keep that ‘just stepped out of a salon’ feeling alive. With this in mind, it’s time to care for your luscious locks, ladies. If it’s not already part of your routine, make sure you use a heat protective spray before styling with heat. It’s also a good idea to use a weekly conditioning treatment to keep your colour in tip top condition. You’ll definitely bag brownie points from your hairdresser for this one.

 

 

3. Experiment a little

It can be easy to fall into a rut of creating the same makeup look day after day. If you find yourself wanting to experiment more, we say… go for it! Whether it’s trying a daring new shade of lippy or perfecting winged liner, you won’t know until you’ve tried it.

 

4. Indulge in some me time

The perfect way to check in with yourself and clear your head, we can’t preach the wonders of some me-time enough. Whether you take yourself off to your favourite room for 10-minutes to paint your nails, or book a facial at your favourite spa, we are definitely all over this one.

 

5. Don't go to bed with your make-up on

Just don’t do it! Can we also ditch the make-up wipes?! Not good for the environment or your skin. Give your skin a proper cleanse, tone and moisturise every night!

 

 

6. Out with the old

While you’re hinching your house, hinch your make-up bag too. Ditch anything which is past its sell by date. As a rough guide, keep this in mind: 

• Eyeliner: 6 months - 1 year
• Mascara: 3-5 months
• Powder cosmetics: 1-2 years
• Foundation: 6 months – 2 years
• Lipstick: 2 years
• Natural products: 3-6 months

 

7. Drink more water

In fact, go and fill a glass and drink it right now! Water has so many amazing benefits and we could probably all do with drinking more of it. As well as helping our organs function more efficiently, it flushes body waste and boosts skin health.

 

 

8. Give your skin a weekly clean

A mini facial at home is the perfect way to keep skin smooth and hydrated. Exfoliating your face weekly will rid it of dead skin cells and offer a great base for applying your makeup. The same goes for your tan. Our Triple Action Glycolic Body Scrub is ideal for removing old tan prior to applying a fresh layer!

 

9. Treat your hands

It can be so easy to neglect our hands and we use them so much everyday so treating them to a little TLC is vital. We recommend keeping a hand cream beside your bed and after you remove your make-up every night, pop a little on your hands.

 

 

10. Get your glow on

And of course, our favourite beauty resolution to get on board with is to tan! We always feel amazing with a gorgeous golden glow and it’s definitely our motto to remain beautifully bronzed throughout 2020.

 

Have a beautiful year Bella Babes!
