New Year, New You: Skincare Resolutions Inspired by the Clean Girl Aesthetic

As we say goodbye to 2024 and head into the new year, it’s time for a reset. Get ahead of the new year by planning and setting goals for 2025. What’s on your vision board?

If you want to put your freshest face forward this year, look no further. We’ve all seen those clean girls whose lives appear to be so put together and aesthetically pleasing that you’re left thinking “How on EARTH does she do it?”. If you’re struggling to keep up with your new year's skincare resolutions, we’ve got you covered with a few clean girl glow up tips. 

Simplicity/Minimalism

Go into this new year with a new mindset: Less is more. Before you even start writing those skincare resolutions down, make sure you aren’t biting off more than you can chew. Try decluttering to start your year off on the right foot.

Decluttering is a great way to practice minimalism and set up your year for success. Let's be real, we could all use a good declutter every once in a while. A great place to start is in your bathroom. Did you know that your skincare and makeup products actually expire? If you weren’t aware, you are now. To check the shelf life of your products, on either the box or the product itself there should be a small cylinder on the back of the bottom with a number and an “M”. This indicates how many months the product is good for after being opened. So get a trash bag and start tossing those old products. More on expirations

Self-Care

Self care involves the mind and body, keeping both in balance provides mental clarity. What it truly comes down to is listening to your body and giving it what is needed. Listening to your body is much more intuitive, whereas taking care of your mind is a much more abstract concept; enter journaling. Practicing daily journaling can have positive effects on your mental state such as being more aware and present. Journaling helps you focus on the present moment and make more intentional choices. Journaling doesn’t have to be boring, clean girls love an aesthetic journal. Get out some colorful pens and markers and make it aesthetically pleasing. Self care is essential, and there's nothing wrong with a little enrichment time in your enclosure. Make yourself a cozy cup of tea, put on your favorite skincare mask, and grab a good book to read or listen to while you relax and unwind.

Natural Beauty - Skin First Approach

The last clean girl skincare resolution is to focus on natural beauty, aka taking care of your skin. Beauty rest is essential for your mental and physical health, which are reflected through your complexion. Also make sure you're intaking lots of water, you can even spice it up with some lemon and cucumber slices.  Keeping your skincare routine simple and streamlined is the best way to build a routine that sticks.

Step into 2025 with radiancy

Set beauty goals for the new year that reflect the principles of the clean girl aesthetic—focusing on simplicity, self-care, and embracing natural beauty.

Skin Care Routine for a Fresh-Faced Clean Girl Aesthetic:

Hydrating cleanser for winter

Start with the Sonage Hydrating Cleanser to remove impurities without stripping your skin.

Incorporate Sonage C Shield Smart Serum to brighten and even out skin tone.

Follow up with Sonage Roux Tinted Day Creme with SPF 30a lightweight daily formula that provides hydration, blurs imperfections, and is a broad-spectrum SPF leaving your skin feeling smooth and radiant, perfect for a polished finish.

Most importantly maintain a consistent routine to avoid just another broken New Year's skincare resolution.
