New Year-New You! With a New Year comes New Year’s Resolutions. We all want to look and feel our very best, so hitting the gym and eating right are a must, but what about your skincare goals? Proper skin care is important because our skin is the largest barrier against infection that we have. Keeping our skin healthy and moist helps keep this barrier strong, not to mention looking great! Here are some essential skincare resolutions that you must follow in 2020.

Remove Your Make-Up
Makeup removal should be a part of your daily skincare ritual. It is especially important to remove makeup before going to bed – it can cause extensive damage to your skin during the night. The skin renews itself while you sleep, and when you leave makeup on, you are preventing that from happening. Not washing away cosmetics, impurities and dirt from the surface of your skin, could lead to irritation or cause your skin to age more rapidly. At Planet Beach we have some amazing cleanser options that are pH balanced for every skin type. My personal favorites are the Green Tea Cleanser and our original carotene facial wash, the Planet Beach Cleanse. These all-natural cleansers contain built-in toner and make up remover and are formulated to penetrate the pores to deeply cleanse and protect the skin from bacteria and fungus!

Stop Using Face Wipes
I get it. The world is rushing you! We’re all in a hurry which makes face wipes a great option for on the go every now and then, but face wipes should not be your only make up remover. Yes, makeup wipes remove some of your makeup, but they don’t come close to removing all of it! When you leave residual makeup, oils and grime on your skin, all of the debris clogs your pores and prevents products like toners and exfoliators from properly penetrating the skin’s upper layers.

Exfoliate Regularly
Exfoliation removes the dead cells, allowing the pores to absorb nutrients. The process will refine the top layers of skin, making pores appear smaller. Another added treat is that it increases the oxygen and circulation in the skin. This gives the skin a healthy, radiant glow. Planet Beach’s amazing holistic skin care line has an exfoliator for every skin type! Our newest is the Apricot Grape Seed Exfoliator. This 100% all-natural, anti-aging exfoliator is blended with ground grape seeds and calming apricot seed oil – rebuilding collagen, and it’s great for all skin types.

Always Stay Hydrated
Water is a great thing, and your skin needs a lot of it.  Drink as much as you need throughout the course of the day.  Try keeping a bottle of water with you at all times.

Exercise!
Okay, so this might coincide with a lot of people’s New Year’s resolutions to lose weight, but it is worth saying again. On top of staying in shape, regular exercise is absolutely crucial to keep blood circulating to all of the skin on your body. But at Planet Beach, we take it one step further with HOTWORX, the first ever fusion of infrared heat and isometrics! HOTWORX is a virtually instructed exercise program created for users to experience the many benefits of infrared heat absorption (including rejuvenation and detoxification of the skin), while completing a 30-minute isometric workout or 15-min High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) session. As the infrared heat penetrates your body causing you to sweat, the isometric postures further accelerate detoxification by physically removing the toxins from your organs through muscle contraction. The results our users achieve make HOTWORX one of the most efficient 30-minute workout programs in the fitness and beauty industry today!

So, what are you waiting for? We’re already a week into 2020, so there’s no time to waste! Let Planet Beach help you get where you need to be this year. Click here to visit a local spray and spa near you!
