From resolving acne to improving skin texture and tackling wrinkles, there may be factors you have not considered into your skin care goals for 2021. Here are three things to keep in mind when planning for your best year of skin care yet.

Layer on a new skin care step

While you may not need to go the full-on multi-step Korean skin care routine, you also don’t need to limit yourself to a skinimalist route either. Even adding one or two products as part of your self-care ritual can go a long way.

It’s when our collagen breaks down that our skin develops fine lines and droopiness. The Titan offers “a workout” for our skin to help it retain its integrity and elasticity and to help rebuild that collagen that’s so critical to keeping skin youthful. You can add it to your regular skin care routine or as part of your makeup prep.

Discover natural ingredients

As you expand your ingredient knowledge, you may become more discerning with what products you choose to bring on as part of your revamped skin care routine. One key factor to look for are feel-good natural ingredients (think chamomile, or shea butter).

Make time for self-care rituals

We know making time for self-care is often easier said than done, but penciling this in as you might any other important meeting or part of your day may help you commit this time to your routine. Doing simple things such as looking after your overall health and appearance can not only make you look good but feel good too. And that self-care need not be complicated either. Here are some simple ways you can devote some me-time for your overall wellness.
