At Home in My Skin
There’s only one thing on our resolution list this year, and that’s to rest, relax and rejuvenate with the help of our lovingly-curated, at-home skincare rituals. The first item on the agenda? Giving our skin what it *really* deserves: a much-needed dose of love and care. Treating our skin like the work of art it is, New Year never looked (or felt) so good.

Byoma
Hydrating Serum
Best for: Bouncy cheeks
Proving that healthy, soft skin doesn’t need to cost the earth, this ultra-lightweight serum is one of our favourite daily skincare essentials. Featuring the brand’s signature Tri-Ceramide Complex, Squalane and Glycerin (AKA, a whole host of hydrating powerhouses), each of which deliver instant and long-lasting results. We’re talking reduced redness, dryness and flakiness from the first use. Just press into skin day and night before your moisturiser for bouncy, glowing skin.

Estée Lauder
Advanced Night Repair Serum Synchronized Multi-Recovery Complex
Best for: A radiant complexion
The skincare essential that always makes it onto our list, Estée Lauder’s award-winning serum infuses skin with 72 hours of moisture while tackling a multitude of skincare concerns. Formulated to suit all skin types, there’s a reason this bestseller is a firm favourite - and it’s not the nutrient-packed ingredient list (Hyaluronic Acid, Peptides, Vitamin E and Caffeine, anyone?). Instead, it’s the beautifully radiant skin we’re promised with each and every use.

Dermalogica
Daily Milkfoliant
Best for: Soft, smooth skin
This New Year, we’re stepping away from the harsh skincare rituals which strip our skin, and leaning more towards those that refine and soothe. Enter Dermalogica’s fan-favourite Milkfoliant. This 100% vegan exfoliating powder aims to polish your skin while supporting your skin’s moisture barrier using a combination of natural exfoliants and calming Oat Bran Extracts. Just tap into wet hands and mix to create a creamy lather. Vibrant, soft skin awaits.

Skinfix
Barrier+ Triple Lipid-Peptide Cream
Best for: Boosting your barrier
Tested, used and recommended by dermatologists - and by us (always) - this ultra-rich moisturiser is our number one choice for protected, hydrated skin. Filled with Active Lipids, Hyaluronic Acid, Peptides and Shea Butter, we dare you to name a formula as barrier-boosting as this. While it’s perfect for use all year round, it’s especially nourishing in colder winter months, or whenever we might have overdone it on the actives. Oh, and it’s exclusive to Sephora UK. Need we say more?

Medik8
Press & Clear
Best for: Decongesting pores
Step away from the abrasive, physical scrubs of your past and towards THE gentle, pore-clearing chemical formula of your present and future. This decongesting powerhouse can be slotted seamlessly into your morning or evening skincare routine to reduce oiliness, blackheads and uneven skin tone - all while preventing future breakouts from happening. Trust us, you’ll be flaunting your most confident skin in no time.

The INKEY List
Oat Cleansing Balm
Best for: A gentle cleanse
Sensitive skin types rejoice: this is our latest and only cleansing balm crush. Designed to dissolve all traces of makeup, cleanse and nourish the skin gently but effectively, it’s no wonder this balm consistently ranks as one of our biggest bestsellers. We use this Colloidal Oatmeal, Ceramide and Oat Kernel Oil-infused formula to boost our barrier and soothe any redness during our first evening cleanse. It's the little luxury we can enjoy without breaking the bank.

Glow Recipe
Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops
Best for: A dewy glow
The glow-boosting serum that caused a storm - and is still going - this versatile skincare-makeup hybrid is the one beauty product we can’t live without. One application will give you glowy skin instantly, whilst daily use will reduce hyperpigmentation and brighten your skin over time for long-lasting results. The best part? It can be used as a serum (before your usual moisturiser), a primer (before your makeup), highlighter (when dabbed onto the highpoints of your face) or an all-round glow-giver (when used instead of or mixed into foundation).
