Best New Year Skin Care Resolutions 2022

According to a new survey, most Americans mistakenly believe they receive most of their total lifetime exposure from extended outdoor activities like the beach. Those activities account for a mere per cent of lifetime sun exposure,” says Dr Richard C. Kirkpatrick of the Brevard Skin and Cancer Centre. And 80 per cent comes from daily incidental sun exposure that builds up over time and ages the skin.”

Protecting skin all over your body, even during the hazy and cloudy days of winter, is crucial.

Most Americans underestimate the damage to their skin from brief daily sun exposure. Fewer than half agree that short exposures to the sun cause a lot of skin damage. But now that you know better, you can make a positive change.

Cover Up

Remember to cover up all the time to protect your skin from the effects of photoaging. Do it when you’re driving and sitting indoors next to a sunny window or taking the dog for a quick walk.

Multi-Functional Skin Care

No matter how much attention you give your face, it is the constant UV damage to the skin on your arms, legs, chest, and hands that can give away your age. A top-notch skincare routine for the entire body is essential.

Whereas in the past, preventing premature skin ageing on your entire body could cost a small fortune, there are now affordable, innovative alternatives. “Look for a multi-functional body moisturizer with a blend of antioxidants, vitamin-broad, spectrumctrum, abroad-spectrum and brightening ingredients,” says Kirkpatrick.

Healthy Habits

Your skin is a reflection of your overall health. Stay hydrated. Eat a well-balanced diet of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy and lean proteins, such as fish, egg whites and legumes. Get plenty of rest each night. These habits can help you look and feel your best.

While specific skin care resolutions can be difficult to uphold, protecting your skin is an easy everyday priority.
