Let’s dive into her top 12 skincare habits for 2025! 12 Simple Skincare Habits Small changes can leave you glowing all year round. From proper cleansing techniques to small indulgences, here are 12 ways to refresh your routine for happier, healthier skin. 1. Refresh Your Skincare Shelf Start fresh! Skincare products don’t last forever. Check the PAO (Period After Opening) date on your products—usually a small symbol on the packaging that looks like a jar with a number inside. If something has passed its PAO date, it’s time to toss it. Old formulas lose efficacy and can irritate the skin. Out with the old, in with the glow! 2. Vegan Collagen for Smoother Skin Want firmer, more hydrated skin? The Super Facialist Vegan Collagen Super Smooth Day Cream is a must-have. Formulated with plant-based collagen, marine bio-complex, and copper, it works to boost skin elasticity and hydration. What’s more, it helps reduce fine lines and supports skin’s natural structure—perfect if you’re looking for a gentle yet effective way to achieve a youthful glow. Use it daily to nourish and protect your skin while embracing a vegan-friendly routine. 3. Streamline Your Skincare Routine Less is more! A simple, consistent routine is key to healthy skin. There’s no need for an overwhelming number of products—stick to the essentials, and your skin barrier will thank you! 4. The Flannel Method for Proper Cleansing A proper cleansing routine is the foundation of healthy skin. Use a soft, clean flannel or muslin cloth to remove all traces of cleanser, makeup, and impurities. This preps your skin for serums and moisturisers that follow. 5. Skincare Tools for Lifting and Sculpting Upgrade your skincare routine with tools like a Gua Sha or facial roller. These tools not only feel luxurious but also help lift, sculpt, and reduce puffiness. Pro tip: Use a Super Facialist Rosehip Facial Oil to enhance the experience and avoid dragging the skin. 6. Don’t Forget SPF for Your Lips Your lips need sun protection, too! With only 3-5 layers of epidermis (compared to 16 on the rest of your skin), lips are more prone to dryness, sun damage, and fine lines. Use an SPF lip balm daily to keep your lips soft and protected. 7. The Power of a Daily Moisturiser A good daily moisturiser is key to healthy, smooth skin. The Super Facialist Vitamin C+ Brighten Skin Defence Daily Moisturiser uplifts tired-looking skin with a blend of glow-boosting ingredients like Vitamin C and Hyaluronic Acid. The added UV filters make this a great essential to have in your skincare routine. 8. Boost Your Skin from Within with Supplements Healthy skin starts on the inside. Include supplements like Zinc, Collagen, and Vitamin E into your diet to support skin texture, hydration, and radiance. A little internal nourishment goes a long way. 9. Eye Cream in the Fridge Want to fake 8 hours of sleep? Pop your eye cream in the fridge for an instant cooling effect that reduces puffiness and soothes the delicate under-eye area. Try Super Facialist Vitamin C+ Dark Circles Eye Cream to give your eyes an instant wakeup call. 10. Double Cleansing, Always Double cleansing ensures every trace of SPF, makeup, and daily build-up is removed. Start with an oil-based cleanser like Super Facialist Vitamin C Brighten Skin Renew Cleansing Oil or balm like Super Facialist Rosehip Meltaway Cleansing Balm to break down stubborn products, then follow up with a gentle cleanser suited to your skin type. Your skin will feel clean, balanced, and ready for the rest of your skincare routine. 11. Facial Massage for Muscle Tone Turn your skincare routine into a mini spa session. Using a nourishing facial oil, massage your skin in gentle upward motions to boost circulation, tone facial muscles, and promote lymphatic drainage for a more sculpted look. 12. Treat Yourself to At-Home Spa Nights Carve out one evening a week for self-care. Whether it’s a detoxifying mask, hydrating treatment, or gentle peel, at-home treatments are a great way to give your skin some extra love without breaking the bank.
