9 Beauty Resolutions You’ll Actually Keep

Ah, January 1: The day when we pledge to do better, look better, be better. The problem is that within weeks, those promises tend to fall by the wayside.
So this year, we’re resolving to make our resolutions doable—and not make those status quo commitments that we just can’t keep. Why torture yourself at bootcamp when you love yoga? The truth is that making smaller tweaks or doubling down on something you’re already working on is far more productive than the quick fixes (even if they take a little more time). But you’re more likely to stick with it anyway, right?
That’s our mindset for the upcoming year. Join us, won’t you?
Forget the punishing crash diets, juice cleanses, and intermittent fasting. Just resolve to return to a more balanced diet, which shouldn’t be too hard now that the party calendar has dwindled and the Christmas chocolate has been eaten. (No pressure, but if you’re feeling hardcore, try giving up alcohol for the month of January—you’d be amazed at the difference it makes.)
Instead, focus your detox efforts on your skin and hair, which is far less painful but still necessary. This means focusing on product ingredients (more on that later), opting for all-natural formulas, and even foregoing cosmetics altogether for a few days to give your complexion a breather. Want to go the extra mile? Pick up Adina Grigore’s Skin Cleanse ($35) and learn how to get that glow from the inside out.
And after several weeks of heat-styling and product-loading your hair for party season, go back to basics by avoiding the curling iron for a few weeks and stretching out time between shampoos. Skip any chemical-laden products and nourish your strands with a natural, leave-in treatment, like Macadamia Natural Oil’s Deep Repair Mask ($32).
Rather than eliminating things from your diet, why not add some more of the good stuff? Supplements are a great (and gloriously easy) way to feel and look your very best. If you’re not sure where to begin, it might be a good idea to check in with your doc or nutritionist, and maybe even get a blood test to see where your current nutrient levels lie. (Those who have dietary restrictions, like vegans and vegetarians, could definitely benefit from checking this annually.) Otherwise, a multivitamin is usually a good start, and if you live in an urban area, definitely look into a vitamin D supplement. (Many studies have shown that city-goers tend have low levels of this essential nutrient, which can have a serious impact on your mood, among other things.)
Try Blackmores’ Alive! Women’s Multivitamin ($30) for an overall boost in nutrients.
There’s a reason why gym memberships are so expensive this time of year compared to say, October: Everyone decides that they’re totally going to get in shape this year—no really, it’s going to happen! 2016! Woot!—only many of us don’t last the month.
But the solution is so simple: Why commit to something and accept that it’ll be torturous when you can commit to something that will still get you in shape—even if it takes longer—that you actually like? If you know that you’re into yoga, skip the gym membership and instead officially commit to a local studio that you frequent. (Trust us: If you do enough chaturangas, you’re going to see a difference.) Also remember to tune out the buzz surrounding which workouts are trending or are purported to be the most effective. To be perfectly frank, the most effective workout is going to be whatever you do consistently, and chances are that’s going to be something you enjoy.
On the other hand, if you haven’t found a class or regimen you really love yet, then you have a great opportunity to “shop” around and try something new until you land on a fave. Most boutique studios and gyms offer trial periods that are either free or extremely discounted, and services like ClassPass make it exceedingly easy to discover new classes in your area.
