Read on to discover which New Year’s resolutions will help you achieve your beauty goals in 2024
Resolution No. 1: Adopt a beauty routine that meets your skin’s needs
Adopting a daily skincare routine using effective products that meet your skin’s needs is crucial to maintaining beautiful skin. No matter your skin type, its needs vary with the season and other factors like fatigue, stress, city living, or lack of sleep. These can quickly wreak havoc on your skin, causing it to look dull, become unbalanced, dehydrated, or reactive. And then there’s the seasons. In winter, the skin craves comforting textures and nourishing formulas, like Dheanne Cream, — ideal for dry, tired, and damaged skin. A summer-time must-have Oligo Protect Cream SPF 30 hydrates the skin and protects it against the sun’s harmful rays, thanks to its powerful UV filter. It is also perfect for those with an urban lifestyle, as it protects skin from the effects of pollution.
Our beauty tip : Visit the Anne Semonin website to discover what skincare routine is best for your skin. After you’ve answered a few quick questions, you’ll get a personalized skin diagnosis and recommendation for products that meet your skin’s needs. At Anne Semonin, we are firm believers in the power of bespoke beauty through our “Mixology” concept. All our products can be used in combination with each other for better results.
Resolution No. 2: Follow a daily skincare routine
Simplicity is crucial in maintaining a daily skincare routine, and it's important to focus on the essential steps. The first step is to cleanse your skin. In the morning and evening, remove impurities with Oligo Cleansing Gel. Its soap-free formula cleanses the skin gently yet effectively, removing sebum, makeup, pollution particles, etc. Alternatively, clean your skin with the milder Botanical Milk + Botanical Toner. Note here that Marine Toner Toner is ideal for skin prone to oiliness. After cleansing and toning, apply a serum that meets your skin's needs. Phytarosa Serum hydrates and repairs dry and weakened skin, Super Actif Serum combats the telltale signs of aging, and Oligoanne Serum hydrates and tones stressed and polluted skin. Finish off your skincare routine by applying your day cream and Miracle Eye Contour Anti-Wrinkle Cream to give your eyes a youthful and refreshed appearance. Remember: the more consistent you are with your skincare routine, the better the results.
Our beauty tip : Consider boosting the results of your beauty routine with Intensive Complexes. The powerful product duos of trace elements and essential oils can be used on their own, as night care, or in combination with other beauty products, such as toners, masks, body lotions, etc. Each of our Intensive Complexes — firming, soothing, detoxifying, balancing, — has a targeted action. The product duos are best used in the evening, as certain EOs may be photosensitizing.
Resolution No. 3: Improve the results of your skincare routine with scrubs and masks
Once a week, exfoliate and detox your skin with Resurfacing Peel Mask or Exfoliating Mask. Although gentler than the Resurfacing Peel Mask, Exfoliating Mask is very effective, especially in the battle against blackheads. Exfoliation offers numerous beauty benefits: it eliminates toxins and dead skin cells, primes your skin for product application, brightens your complexion, and enhances skin radiance. Complete your skincare routine with the application of a targeted mask. Opt for a regenerating mask to boost skin cell renewal (Mineral Mask), a firming mask (Firm & Lift Peel-Off Mask), or a mask to hydrate and boost skin radiance (Gel Mask). Anne Semonin masks are truly remarkable when it comes to enhancing your natural beauty. In five to ten minutes, they work their magic and recharge your skin, delivering outstanding results.
Our beauty tip : Add two or three drops of an Intensive Complex of your choice to your face mask to improve results even further.
Resolution No. 4: Massage your face every day
Massages play an essential part in Anne Semonin skincare rituals. Gentle massage strokes promote the penetration of active ingredients, activate collagen production, drain lymphatic fluid, and stimulate facial muscles. Incorporating gentle massaging into your skincare routine while cleansing the skin, removing makeup, or applying products is a must-do. Depending on the skin area, you can use the flat of your hand, the edge of your index fingers, or the inside of your middle fingers. You can also use an accessory, like a jade roller or rose quartz gua sha stone. When you massage your skin, follow the structure of your face and massage with upward and outward strokes. Include the eye contour (careful, the skin is very fragile here), mouth contour, nasolabial fold, facial contour, neck, etc. Massage your face for five minutes every evening, and you will see a noteworthy difference !
Our beauty tip : Tap Miracle Eye Contour Anti-Wrinkle Cream or Super Active Contour Serum on the eye contour and use gently outward massage strokes to activate blood microcirculation and reduce the appearance of dark circles. Apply your serum by tapping it onto the forehead, nose, cheeks, and chin before massaging your face for two to three minutes with your cream. Focus on the contour of the face, the area under the cheekbones, and the neck.
Resolution no. 5: Moisturize your body from head to toe
We often don’t moisturize our body due to lack of time. However, the skin must be hydrated and nourished daily to remain beautiful, smooth, and firm for as long as possible. Apply a product that restores the skin, such as Hydrating Body Lotion Mémoires d’Été or Botanical Body Milk in the mornings and evenings after showering. With ingredients such as shea butter, chlorella, and cereal germ oils, both products moisturize, nourish, and firm the skin. If you prefer the texture of oil, then one of the four Anne Semonin body oils is for you. We recommend using Vitamin Rich Body Oil, in summer because it does not contain essential oils. It is also the perfect treatment for mothers-to-be and combats the appearance of stretch marks.
Our beauty tip : Hydrate your body from the inside as well as from the outside. Water is essential to the body, as it is the main carrier of nutrients and metabolic waste. We recommend drinking one to two liters of water throughout the day, even when you're not thirsty !
Resolution No. 6: Practice self-care by visiting the spa
In a world that is increasingly busy and noisy, it's important to give yourself routine me time in 2024! Taking a solo weekend trip, practicing yoga, communing with nature, and doing creative activities are all ways to promote serenity and well-being next year. Enjoying a spa treatment, whether to balance our skin, achieve skin radiance, sculpt our limbs, or relax our senses, is a treat we don't gift ourselves often enough. The beauty experts at Anne Semonin have been offering exclusive spa treatments in Paris and other spas around the globe for over 35 years. Facials, body treatments, rituals for men, or slimming or anti-aging treatments combine results-driven products with effective massages to drain fluid, stimulate cell renewal, and improve well-being. Visit the Anne Semonin website or Atelier de Beauté, next to Place des Victoires in the heart of Paris, to discover more about our treatments. Expect expert care and a pampering session like no other when visiting l’Atelier de Beauté. Treat yourself to a spa visit once a month to spend 2024 on Cloud Nine.
