beauty routine may be just the jumpstart you need.<\/li>\n<li>Common beauty concerns this time of year include dryness, hair damage, and a compromised skin barrier. Anything from an in-office treatment to a new product or two can help address these for an instant revamp.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_2-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> &#8220;New year, new me&#8221; is a phrase we&#8217;ve all said once or twice (or thirty times), and for good reason. The new year brings an opportunity to refresh, start with a clean slate, and finally begin those better-for-you habits we&#8217;ve been putting off until after the holidays. Maybe it&#8217;s a big change, or maybe it&#8217;s as simple as committing to washing your makeup off every night, no matter how tedious it might feel. (If you&#8217;re judging me for that last sentence, I envy you.)\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_4-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> For me, as a thirty-something who thought I&#8217;d have every routine nailed down by now, my goals for the new year are to focus on self-care. I&#8217;m going to get the mani-pedi or blowout, even if it means committing an hour of my time. I&#8217;m also honing in on a skincare routine tailored to my needs, and reminding myself that getting dressed up on a work-from-home day is not off the table.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_6-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Feeling the urge for a new year&#8217;s beauty refresh, but unsure where to start? Ahead, <strong>we&#8217;ve tapped a few experts to share why the start of 2026 is a great time to embrace a simple upgrade or two<\/strong>, complete with the most common concerns and a few ideas to consider for skin, makeup, and hair.\n<\/p>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block_8-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-callout--meetourexpert beauty-sc-block-callout mntl-sc-block-callout mntl-block theme-meetourexpert\" data-tracking-id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout\" data-tracking-container=\"true\">\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout-heading_2-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-callout-heading mntl-text-block\">Meet the Experts<\/p>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout-body_2-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-callout-body mntl-text-block\">\n<ul>\n<li>Marisa Garshick, MD, FAAD, is a board-certified dermatologist at MDCS Dermatology: Medical Dermatology &amp; Cosmetic Surgery and an assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Cornell-New York Presbyterian Medical Center.<\/li>\n<li>Paulina Raciborski is a hairstylist at NYC The Team, founded by Michelle Hong.<\/li>\n<li>Renny Vasquez is a celebrity makeup artist who has worked with Jasmine Tookes, Monet McMichael, and Quen Blackwell.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_9-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> The Art of the New Year&#8217;s Beauty Revamp <\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_10-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> The new year often feels like a good time for a rebirth of self, or\u2014in a less dramatic fashion\u2014to start some new positive self-care habits. But it&#8217;s not all mental: January is also a time of year when your skin, hair, and body need a little extra TLC. &#8220;New Year&#8217;s is always about getting a fresh start, and for some people, that may be related to products and skincare,&#8221; explains board-certified dermatologist Marisa Garshick, MD, FAAD. &#8220;Some people focus on new skincare concerns, which may require different products than they are using. For others, it may be that holiday stress and travel take their toll and cause people to want to reset. Some people may have also received new skincare products or devices and are interested in testing them out.&#8221; Garshick&#8217;s last point holds merit this time of year, as the holidays often lead to finally getting that new skincare device or trending hair tool.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_12-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> On the topic of hair, &#8220;after the holidays, people often feel like their hair needs a reset,&#8221; says hairstylist Paulina Raciborski. &#8220;Between increased heat styling, frequent events, and winter weather, your hair can lose its shine and overall health. The New Year is a natural point to reassess what&#8217;s working and what isn&#8217;t. A hair refresh is often about restoring condition, simplifying maintenance, and choosing a look that&#8217;s easy to maintain for the months ahead.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_14-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Common New Year&#8217;s Beauty Concerns <\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_15-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Dry skin, makeup not sitting right, hair falling flat, you name it: Winter brings wellness challenges, but the new year brings solutions. Below are a few concerns you might be experiencing at this time\u2014all are common, which means you&#8217;ll also find plenty of potential fixes.\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_17-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Dry Skin <\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_18-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> &#8220;Winter can cause skin dryness on the face and the body,&#8221; Garshick explains. &#8220;Cooler temperatures, lower humidity, and increased exposure to indoor heating can all lead to dryness and irritation. This can also lead to the itchy feeling associated with dry skin. General dryness can also increase the potential for eczema, which can appear as pink flaky patches on the face or body.&#8221; The same applies to hair, which can result in dryness, breakage, split ends, and faded color as a result.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_20-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Products are your friend here, the experts agree. Whether it&#8217;s nailing the ideal dry skin routine or adding a hydrating hair mask to your holiday wishlist, we&#8217;ve got a solution for all of your target concerns.\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_22-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Post-Summer Sun Damage <\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_23-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> As if shorter days and colder temperatures weren&#8217;t punishment enough, our skin is also a visual reminder of the environment around us. Often, as we enter winter months, sun damage from the summer becomes more apparent.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_25-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> &#8220;The new year is a common time for treatments that help address post-summer skin, using lasers and chemical peels to reduce signs of sun damage, including sun spots, fine lines, and wrinkles,&#8221; Garshick notes. &#8220;Many patients come in wanting to reverse the cumulative effects of sun exposure from warmer months.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block_27-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-spotlight--mid-circ mntl-sc-block-spotlight--mid-circ mntl-block \">\n<h2 id=\"midcirc__heading_1-0\" class=\"comp midcirc__heading mntl-text-block\">Related Stories<\/h2>\n<div id=\"midcirc__card-list_1-0\" class=\"comp midcirc__card-list mntl-block\">\n<div id=\"midcirc-card__title_1-0\" class=\"comp midcirc-card__title mntl-text-block\">This Is the (Easy) Skin Barrier Repair Guide You&#8217;ve Been Waiting For<\/div>\n<div id=\"midcirc-card__image-wrapper_1-0\" class=\"comp midcirc-card__image-wrapper mntl-block\">\n<div class=\"img-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" alt=\"A closeup of a person applying serum to their face with a dropper\" class=\"lazyload midcirc-card__image mntl-image universal-image__image\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/skin-barrier-2-9857bef74e3f4b2684c3f15080102c04-2.webp\" title=\"skin-barrier-2-9857bef74e3f4b2684c3f15080102c04-2\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/skin-barrier-2-9857bef74e3f4b2684c3f15080102c04-2.webp\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"img--noscript midcirc-card__image mntl-image universal-image__image\" alt=\"A closeup of a person applying serum to their face with a dropper\" title=\"skin-barrier-2-9857bef74e3f4b2684c3f15080102c04-2\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"midcirc-card__title_2-0\" class=\"comp midcirc-card__title mntl-text-block\">Why Your Hair Keeps Breaking\u2014And How to Repair the Damage Fast<\/div>\n<div id=\"midcirc-card__image-wrapper_2-0\" class=\"comp midcirc-card__image-wrapper mntl-block\">\n<div class=\"img-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" alt=\"A person with hair tied in a ponytail by a green scrunchie viewed from the back\" class=\"lazyload midcirc-card__image mntl-image universal-image__image\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/hair-breakage-1-85704e50148d48f4ac5c691f10a9837c-4.webp\" title=\"hair-breakage-1-85704e50148d48f4ac5c691f10a9837c-4\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/hair-breakage-1-85704e50148d48f4ac5c691f10a9837c-4.webp\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"img--noscript midcirc-card__image mntl-image universal-image__image\" alt=\"A person with hair tied in a ponytail by a green scrunchie viewed from the back\" title=\"hair-breakage-1-85704e50148d48f4ac5c691f10a9837c-4\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_29-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Dullness <\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_30-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> This concern impacts us across the board. Dull skin leads to less-than-ideal product application, and dull hair can cause color and styling issues. &#8220;During the winter, the cold temperatures and lack of humidity in the air can lead to dryness of the skin,&#8221; Garshick says. &#8220;Indoor heating and hot showers can also lead to a loss of moisture and make the skin more vulnerable to irritation and a dull appearance. Additionally, holiday travel can take its toll and leave the skin looking dull, so boosting radiance in the new year is key.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_32-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> As for hair, beyond environmental factors, Raciborski adds that sometimes it comes down to simply not having time or energy for maintenance. &#8220;Many people also notice their haircut or color no longer feels polished or easy to maintain after a busy season,&#8221; she notes. &#8220;Hair may feel dull, heavier, or harder to style, which usually signals it\u2019s time for a refresh rather than a major change.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_34-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Acne Flare-Ups and Compromised Skin Barrier <\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_35-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> &#8220;Holiday travel and not removing makeup can trigger worsening breakouts, and for some people, the new year can be a good time to focus on dealing with them,&#8221; Garshick says. And sometimes, quick attempts at tackling new skin concerns can disrupt the skin barrier. &#8220;Over-exfoliation, harsh cleansing, or trying new products if traveling can disrupt the moisture barrier, leaving skin feeling tight, sensitive, and irritated,&#8221; Garshick continues. &#8220;For this reason, some people may find it helpful to simplify their routine in the new year.&#8221; As the saying goes, less is more.\n<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_37-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Beauty Refreshes to Start the Year Right <\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_38-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Regardless of your concerns, the new year brings new opportunity to correct and redirect, and our experts have some great ideas on where to start. From booking that long-awaited appointment to simple at-home switches, check out six of their top ideas below.\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_40-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> In-Office Treatments <\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_41-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Committing to a refreshed at-home skincare routine is phase one, but phase two of a new year&#8217;s beauty upgrade is leaning into dermatologist treatments that target your specific concerns. &#8220;The winter is especially good for procedures like chemical peels given overall decreased UV exposure during this time,&#8221; Garshick explains. Below are just a few treatments you might consider\u2014each has its own set of benefits, so you have options that fit a range of goals.\n<\/p>\n<ul id=\"mntl-sc-block_43-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\">\n<li><strong>Chemical peels: <\/strong>Looking to glow this year? &#8220;Chemical peels use exfoliating solutions to remove the dead skin cells, revealing a brighter, and smoother complexion,&#8221; Garshick tells us. While there&#8217;s a bit of downtime involved in a professional peel, it can be well worth it in revealing radiant, rejuvenated skin.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Laser treatments: <\/strong>&#8220;Laser treatments target signs of aging like sun damage, age spots, and uneven skin texture,&#8221; Garshick says. &#8220;These treatments encourage collagen production, leaving your skin smoother and more even-toned.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Microneedling:<\/strong> If your primary goal is smoother, plumper skin, &#8220;microneedling like\u00a0InMode Morpheus8\u00a0is excellent for post-holiday skin rejuvenation,&#8221; Garshick shares. &#8220;This treatment uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin that support collagen production. It&#8217;s particularly effective for improving texture and reducing the appearance of fine lines.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_45-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Refresh Your Makeup Bag <\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_46-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> We&#8217;ve all got that one makeup product (or multiple) that&#8217;s our go-to, but may or may not be long past its shelf life. While I&#8217;m typically in denial that any beauty item I put on my face could be expired, there&#8217;s no avoiding the passage of time.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_48-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> &#8220;Clean out your makeup bags,&#8221; emphasizes celebrity makeup artist Renny Vasquez. &#8220;Get rid of anything that has expired or is not serving you through the winter months.\u00a0Record the date you opened the products, or add the date to your calendar when you plan to refresh them. This way, you know when it&#8217;s time to replace.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_50-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Get a Fresh Cut and Color <\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_51-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Maybe it&#8217;s dramatic, or maybe it&#8217;s a simple dead-end chop. But either way, Raciborski says the new year is the perfect excuse. &#8220;A trim or refined shape can help remove damage and restore movement,&#8221; she notes. &#8220;Choosing a cut or color plan that prioritizes manageability and long term results [is a good New Year&#8217;s plan].&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_53-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Raciborski notes that subtle color adjustments like a gloss or toner can be a great alternative to a full color session to feel fresh with minimal upkeep. She also says that deep conditioning and bond repair are important to &#8220;strengthen hair after the holidays,&#8221; and reworking your styling routine to reduce heat can improve your hair health in the long run.\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_55-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Upgrade Your Home Skin Routine <\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_56-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> If making it to a dermatologist&#8217;s office for treatment isn&#8217;t an option for you, there are plenty of ways to upgrade your routine at home. &#8220;Gua sha is a simple but effective way to elevate your at-home routine,&#8221; Garshick shares. &#8220;With just a few minutes a day, it can help reduce puffiness, support lymphatic drainage, and improve circulation. It\u2019s also a great way to build a moment of mindful self-care into your morning or evening.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_58-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Beyond tools, specific products can help you achieve a post-dermatologist glow at home. &#8220;For those looking to up their anti-aging skincare game, using a retinoid is key,&#8221; Garshick tells us. &#8220;Retinoids are available over-the-counter or as a prescription, and [they] stimulate collagen production and help overall tone and texture.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_60-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> But don&#8217;t forget that protection and nourishment are as important as all you&#8217;re doing to sculpt and glow. &#8220;Regardless of what you do to your skin, it is always important to ensure a healthy skin barrier to minimize dryness and ensure the skin can best tolerate procedures and active ingredients,&#8221; Garshick says. &#8220;Look for moisturizers containing barrier-supporting ingredients like ceramides and cleansers that won&#8217;t strip the skin of its natural [barrier].&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_62-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> A New Piercing or Tattoo <\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_63-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Beauty goes beyond the classic definition, and if you&#8217;re looking to spice up your look in the new year, a new tattoo or piercing might just be the answer. Gone are the days of holding yourself back from tattoos, and with so many options from dainty to daring, there&#8217;s something for everyone. If you&#8217;ve had a new tat on your mind for a while or are feeling inspired by a certain trend or aesthetic, it could be just the energy you need to discover the 2026 version of yourself.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_65-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> If you&#8217;re looking for a semi-permanent change but aren&#8217;t ready to commit to a tattoo, a piercing feels like a happy medium. It&#8217;s still fun and flashy, but it&#8217;s possible to change up the look once it&#8217;s healed (or remove it later, if need be). If you&#8217;re looking for fresh options to consider, check out our roundup of the fastest-healing piercings.\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_67-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Bring Your Manicure Mood Board to Life <\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_68-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> If a permanent change isn&#8217;t in the cards for you next year, we get it. In that case, the new year is a great time to finally test out that funky manicure you&#8217;ve had bookmarked for half of 2025. Perhaps it&#8217;s caviar nails for a night out, cocktail-inspired nails to carry the holiday festivities a little longer (even if you&#8217;re observing dry January), or a bold cheetah print nail just because. No matter what, a bold mani is a seamless yet effective way to upgrade your look for the new year.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_70-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> The Final Takeaway <\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_71-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> The new year brings new opportunities for beauty upgrades, positive habit changes, and an excuse to pamper yourself more\u2014no matter what that looks like for you. It&#8217;s a great excuse to finally go for any treatments or major changes you&#8217;ve been mulling over, but even the smallest of routine upgrades (or low-key hair and nail updates) can be just what you need to rejuvenate your spirit for 2026. If you were looking for an excuse to invest in self-care, this is your sign to do so.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"loc article-post-content\">\n<div

beauty routine may be just the jumpstart you need.<\/li>\n<li>Common beauty concerns this time of year include dryness, hair damage, and a compromised skin barrier. Anything from an in-office treatment to a new product or two can help address these for an instant revamp.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_2-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> &#8220;New year, new me&#8221; is a phrase we&#8217;ve all said once or twice (or thirty times), and for good reason. The new year brings an opportunity to refresh, start with a clean slate, and finally begin those better-for-you habits we&#8217;ve been putting off until after the holidays. Maybe it&#8217;s a big change, or maybe it&#8217;s as simple as committing to washing your makeup off every night, no matter how tedious it might feel. (If you&#8217;re judging me for that last sentence, I envy you.)\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_4-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> For me, as a thirty-something who thought I&#8217;d have every routine nailed down by now, my goals for the new year are to focus on self-care. I&#8217;m going to get the mani-pedi or blowout, even if it means committing an hour of my time. I&#8217;m also honing in on a skincare routine tailored to my needs, and reminding myself that getting dressed up on a work-from-home day is not off the table.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_6-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Feeling the urge for a new year&#8217;s beauty refresh, but unsure where to start? Ahead, <strong>we&#8217;ve tapped a few experts to share why the start of 2026 is a great time to embrace a simple upgrade or two<\/strong>, complete with the most common concerns and a few ideas to consider for skin, makeup, and hair.\n<\/p>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block_8-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-callout--meetourexpert beauty-sc-block-callout mntl-sc-block-callout mntl-block theme-meetourexpert\" data-tracking-id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout\" data-tracking-container=\"true\">\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout-heading_2-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-callout-heading mntl-text-block\">Meet the Experts<\/p>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout-body_2-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-callout-body mntl-text-block\">\n<ul>\n<li>Marisa Garshick, MD, FAAD, is a board-certified dermatologist at MDCS Dermatology: Medical Dermatology &amp; Cosmetic Surgery and an assistant clinical professor of dermatology at Cornell-New York Presbyterian Medical Center.<\/li>\n<li>Paulina Raciborski is a hairstylist at NYC The Team, founded by Michelle Hong.<\/li>\n<li>Renny Vasquez is a celebrity makeup artist who has worked with Jasmine Tookes, Monet McMichael, and Quen Blackwell.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_9-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> The Art of the New Year&#8217;s Beauty Revamp <\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_10-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> The new year often feels like a good time for a rebirth of self, or\u2014in a less dramatic fashion\u2014to start some new positive self-care habits. But it&#8217;s not all mental: January is also a time of year when your skin, hair, and body need a little extra TLC. &#8220;New Year&#8217;s is always about getting a fresh start, and for some people, that may be related to products and skincare,&#8221; explains board-certified dermatologist Marisa Garshick, MD, FAAD. &#8220;Some people focus on new skincare concerns, which may require different products than they are using. For others, it may be that holiday stress and travel take their toll and cause people to want to reset. Some people may have also received new skincare products or devices and are interested in testing them out.&#8221; Garshick&#8217;s last point holds merit this time of year, as the holidays often lead to finally getting that new skincare device or trending hair tool.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_12-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> On the topic of hair, &#8220;after the holidays, people often feel like their hair needs a reset,&#8221; says hairstylist Paulina Raciborski. &#8220;Between increased heat styling, frequent events, and winter weather, your hair can lose its shine and overall health. The New Year is a natural point to reassess what&#8217;s working and what isn&#8217;t. A hair refresh is often about restoring condition, simplifying maintenance, and choosing a look that&#8217;s easy to maintain for the months ahead.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_14-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Common New Year&#8217;s Beauty Concerns <\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_15-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Dry skin, makeup not sitting right, hair falling flat, you name it: Winter brings wellness challenges, but the new year brings solutions. Below are a few concerns you might be experiencing at this time\u2014all are common, which means you&#8217;ll also find plenty of potential fixes.\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_17-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Dry Skin <\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_18-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> &#8220;Winter can cause skin dryness on the face and the body,&#8221; Garshick explains. &#8220;Cooler temperatures, lower humidity, and increased exposure to indoor heating can all lead to dryness and irritation. This can also lead to the itchy feeling associated with dry skin. General dryness can also increase the potential for eczema, which can appear as pink flaky patches on the face or body.&#8221; The same applies to hair, which can result in dryness, breakage, split ends, and faded color as a result.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_20-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Products are your friend here, the experts agree. Whether it&#8217;s nailing the ideal dry skin routine or adding a hydrating hair mask to your holiday wishlist, we&#8217;ve got a solution for all of your target concerns.\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_22-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Post-Summer Sun Damage <\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_23-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> As if shorter days and colder temperatures weren&#8217;t punishment enough, our skin is also a visual reminder of the environment around us. Often, as we enter winter months, sun damage from the summer becomes more apparent.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_25-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> &#8220;The new year is a common time for treatments that help address post-summer skin, using lasers and chemical peels to reduce signs of sun damage, including sun spots, fine lines, and wrinkles,&#8221; Garshick notes. &#8220;Many patients come in wanting to reverse the cumulative effects of sun exposure from warmer months.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block_27-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-spotlight--mid-circ mntl-sc-block-spotlight--mid-circ mntl-block \">\n<h2 id=\"midcirc__heading_1-0\" class=\"comp midcirc__heading mntl-text-block\">Related Stories<\/h2>\n<div id=\"midcirc__card-list_1-0\" class=\"comp midcirc__card-list mntl-block\">\n<div id=\"midcirc-card__title_1-0\" class=\"comp midcirc-card__title mntl-text-block\">This Is the (Easy) Skin Barrier Repair Guide You&#8217;ve Been Waiting For<\/div>\n<div id=\"midcirc-card__image-wrapper_1-0\" class=\"comp midcirc-card__image-wrapper mntl-block\">\n<div class=\"img-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" alt=\"A closeup of a person applying serum to their face with a dropper\" class=\"lazyload midcirc-card__image mntl-image universal-image__image\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/skin-barrier-2-9857bef74e3f4b2684c3f15080102c04-2.webp\" title=\"skin-barrier-2-9857bef74e3f4b2684c3f15080102c04-2\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/skin-barrier-2-9857bef74e3f4b2684c3f15080102c04-2.webp\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"img--noscript midcirc-card__image mntl-image universal-image__image\" alt=\"A closeup of a person applying serum to their face with a dropper\" title=\"skin-barrier-2-9857bef74e3f4b2684c3f15080102c04-2\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"midcirc-card__title_2-0\" class=\"comp midcirc-card__title mntl-text-block\">Why Your Hair Keeps Breaking\u2014And How to Repair the Damage Fast<\/div>\n<div id=\"midcirc-card__image-wrapper_2-0\" class=\"comp midcirc-card__image-wrapper mntl-block\">\n<div class=\"img-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" alt=\"A person with hair tied in a ponytail by a green scrunchie viewed from the back\" class=\"lazyload midcirc-card__image mntl-image universal-image__image\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/hair-breakage-1-85704e50148d48f4ac5c691f10a9837c-4.webp\" title=\"hair-breakage-1-85704e50148d48f4ac5c691f10a9837c-4\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/hair-breakage-1-85704e50148d48f4ac5c691f10a9837c-4.webp\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"img--noscript midcirc-card__image mntl-image universal-image__image\" alt=\"A person with hair tied in a ponytail by a green scrunchie viewed from the back\" title=\"hair-breakage-1-85704e50148d48f4ac5c691f10a9837c-4\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_29-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Dullness <\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_30-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> This concern impacts us across the board. Dull skin leads to less-than-ideal product application, and dull hair can cause color and styling issues. &#8220;During the winter, the cold temperatures and lack of humidity in the air can lead to dryness of the skin,&#8221; Garshick says. &#8220;Indoor heating and hot showers can also lead to a loss of moisture and make the skin more vulnerable to irritation and a dull appearance. Additionally, holiday travel can take its toll and leave the skin looking dull, so boosting radiance in the new year is key.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_32-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> As for hair, beyond environmental factors, Raciborski adds that sometimes it comes down to simply not having time or energy for maintenance. &#8220;Many people also notice their haircut or color no longer feels polished or easy to maintain after a busy season,&#8221; she notes. &#8220;Hair may feel dull, heavier, or harder to style, which usually signals it\u2019s time for a refresh rather than a major change.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_34-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Acne Flare-Ups and Compromised Skin Barrier <\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_35-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> &#8220;Holiday travel and not removing makeup can trigger worsening breakouts, and for some people, the new year can be a good time to focus on dealing with them,&#8221; Garshick says. And sometimes, quick attempts at tackling new skin concerns can disrupt the skin barrier. &#8220;Over-exfoliation, harsh cleansing, or trying new products if traveling can disrupt the moisture barrier, leaving skin feeling tight, sensitive, and irritated,&#8221; Garshick continues. &#8220;For this reason, some people may find it helpful to simplify their routine in the new year.&#8221; As the saying goes, less is more.\n<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_37-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Beauty Refreshes to Start the Year Right <\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_38-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Regardless of your concerns, the new year brings new opportunity to correct and redirect, and our experts have some great ideas on where to start. From booking that long-awaited appointment to simple at-home switches, check out six of their top ideas below.\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_40-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> In-Office Treatments <\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_41-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Committing to a refreshed at-home skincare routine is phase one, but phase two of a new year&#8217;s beauty upgrade is leaning into dermatologist treatments that target your specific concerns. &#8220;The winter is especially good for procedures like chemical peels given overall decreased UV exposure during this time,&#8221; Garshick explains. Below are just a few treatments you might consider\u2014each has its own set of benefits, so you have options that fit a range of goals.\n<\/p>\n<ul id=\"mntl-sc-block_43-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\">\n<li><strong>Chemical peels: <\/strong>Looking to glow this year? &#8220;Chemical peels use exfoliating solutions to remove the dead skin cells, revealing a brighter, and smoother complexion,&#8221; Garshick tells us. While there&#8217;s a bit of downtime involved in a professional peel, it can be well worth it in revealing radiant, rejuvenated skin.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Laser treatments: <\/strong>&#8220;Laser treatments target signs of aging like sun damage, age spots, and uneven skin texture,&#8221; Garshick says. &#8220;These treatments encourage collagen production, leaving your skin smoother and more even-toned.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Microneedling:<\/strong> If your primary goal is smoother, plumper skin, &#8220;microneedling like\u00a0InMode Morpheus8\u00a0is excellent for post-holiday skin rejuvenation,&#8221; Garshick shares. &#8220;This treatment uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin that support collagen production. It&#8217;s particularly effective for improving texture and reducing the appearance of fine lines.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_45-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Refresh Your Makeup Bag <\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_46-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> We&#8217;ve all got that one makeup product (or multiple) that&#8217;s our go-to, but may or may not be long past its shelf life. While I&#8217;m typically in denial that any beauty item I put on my face could be expired, there&#8217;s no avoiding the passage of time.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_48-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> &#8220;Clean out your makeup bags,&#8221; emphasizes celebrity makeup artist Renny Vasquez. &#8220;Get rid of anything that has expired or is not serving you through the winter months.\u00a0Record the date you opened the products, or add the date to your calendar when you plan to refresh them. This way, you know when it&#8217;s time to replace.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_50-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Get a Fresh Cut and Color <\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_51-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Maybe it&#8217;s dramatic, or maybe it&#8217;s a simple dead-end chop. But either way, Raciborski says the new year is the perfect excuse. &#8220;A trim or refined shape can help remove damage and restore movement,&#8221; she notes. &#8220;Choosing a cut or color plan that prioritizes manageability and long term results [is a good New Year&#8217;s plan].&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_53-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Raciborski notes that subtle color adjustments like a gloss or toner can be a great alternative to a full color session to feel fresh with minimal upkeep. She also says that deep conditioning and bond repair are important to &#8220;strengthen hair after the holidays,&#8221; and reworking your styling routine to reduce heat can improve your hair health in the long run.\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_55-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Upgrade Your Home Skin Routine <\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_56-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> If making it to a dermatologist&#8217;s office for treatment isn&#8217;t an option for you, there are plenty of ways to upgrade your routine at home. &#8220;Gua sha is a simple but effective way to elevate your at-home routine,&#8221; Garshick shares. &#8220;With just a few minutes a day, it can help reduce puffiness, support lymphatic drainage, and improve circulation. It\u2019s also a great way to build a moment of mindful self-care into your morning or evening.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_58-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Beyond tools, specific products can help you achieve a post-dermatologist glow at home. &#8220;For those looking to up their anti-aging skincare game, using a retinoid is key,&#8221; Garshick tells us. &#8220;Retinoids are available over-the-counter or as a prescription, and [they] stimulate collagen production and help overall tone and texture.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_60-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> But don&#8217;t forget that protection and nourishment are as important as all you&#8217;re doing to sculpt and glow. &#8220;Regardless of what you do to your skin, it is always important to ensure a healthy skin barrier to minimize dryness and ensure the skin can best tolerate procedures and active ingredients,&#8221; Garshick says. &#8220;Look for moisturizers containing barrier-supporting ingredients like ceramides and cleansers that won&#8217;t strip the skin of its natural [barrier].&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_62-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> A New Piercing or Tattoo <\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_63-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Beauty goes beyond the classic definition, and if you&#8217;re looking to spice up your look in the new year, a new tattoo or piercing might just be the answer. Gone are the days of holding yourself back from tattoos, and with so many options from dainty to daring, there&#8217;s something for everyone. If you&#8217;ve had a new tat on your mind for a while or are feeling inspired by a certain trend or aesthetic, it could be just the energy you need to discover the 2026 version of yourself.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_65-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> If you&#8217;re looking for a semi-permanent change but aren&#8217;t ready to commit to a tattoo, a piercing feels like a happy medium. It&#8217;s still fun and flashy, but it&#8217;s possible to change up the look once it&#8217;s healed (or remove it later, if need be). If you&#8217;re looking for fresh options to consider, check out our roundup of the fastest-healing piercings.\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_67-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Bring Your Manicure Mood Board to Life <\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_68-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> If a permanent change isn&#8217;t in the cards for you next year, we get it. In that case, the new year is a great time to finally test out that funky manicure you&#8217;ve had bookmarked for half of 2025. Perhaps it&#8217;s caviar nails for a night out, cocktail-inspired nails to carry the holiday festivities a little longer (even if you&#8217;re observing dry January), or a bold cheetah print nail just because. No matter what, a bold mani is a seamless yet effective way to upgrade your look for the new year.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_70-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> The Final Takeaway <\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_71-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> The new year brings new opportunities for beauty upgrades, positive habit changes, and an excuse to pamper yourself more\u2014no matter what that looks like for you. It&#8217;s a great excuse to finally go for any treatments or major changes you&#8217;ve been mulling over, but even the smallest of routine upgrades (or low-key hair and nail updates) can be just what you need to rejuvenate your spirit for 2026. If you were looking for an excuse to invest in self-care, this is your sign to do so.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"loc article-post-content\">\n<div id=\"beauty-breadcrumbs--chips_1-0\" class=\"comp beauty-breadcrumbs--chips mntl-universal-breadcrumbs--chips mntl-block\">\n<div id=\"mntl-breadcrumbs__read-more_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-breadcrumbs__read-more mntl-text-block text-title-100\">Read more:<\/div>\n<ul id=\"mntl-universal-breadcrumbs_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-universal-breadcrumbs mntl-block text-label-300 breadcrumbs\" data-tracking-container=\"true\">\n<li id=\"mntl-breadcrumbs__item_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-breadcrumbs__item mntl-block\"><span class=\"link__wrapper\">Skin<\/span><\/li>\n<li id=\"mntl-breadcrumbs__item_2-0\" class=\"comp mntl-breadcrumbs__item mntl-block\"><span class=\"link__wrapper\">Face Care<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<div class=\"loc article-content\">\n<div id=\"article__broad-video-jw_1-0\" class=\"comp article__broad-video-jw mntl-jwplayer-broad mntl-block is-hidden\" data-pixel-depth=\"100\">\n<div id=\"mntl-jwplayer-broad__title_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-jwplayer-broad__title mntl-block\"><button id=\"mntl-jwplayer-broad__title-icon--close_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-jwplayer-broad__title-icon--close mntl-block text-label-100\" data-click-tracked=\"false\"><span id=\"mntl-text-block_2-0\" class=\"comp mntl-text-block\">Close<\/span><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"mntl-block_2-0\" class=\"comp mntl-block article__body right-rail\">\n<figure id=\"mntl-universal-primary-image_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-universal-primary-image primary-image\" data-tracking-container=\"true\">\n<div class=\"primary-image__media\">\n<div class=\"img-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/imgi_38_470318503_18477808762045469_9044056386813406508_n-c6c37be8b0c8404d8c4a82bba76358c1-4.webp\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1500\" alt=\"Sarah Cheung applies lip gloss in mirror while wearing warm-toned makeup look and pink feathered top\" class=\" primary-image__image mntl-primary-image--blurry\" title=\"imgi_38_470318503_18477808762045469_9044056386813406508_n-c6c37be8b0c8404d8c4a82bba76358c1-4\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/imgi_38_470318503_18477808762045469_9044056386813406508_n-c6c37be8b0c8404d8c4a82bba76358c1-4.webp\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1500\" class=\"loaded primary-img--noscript primary-image__image mntl-primary-image--blurry\" alt=\"Sarah Cheung applies lip gloss in mirror while wearing warm-toned makeup look and pink feathered top\" title=\"imgi_38_470318503_18477808762045469_9044056386813406508_n-c6c37be8b0c8404d8c4a82bba76358c1-4\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption id=\"primary-image__figcap_1-0\" class=\"comp primary-image__figcap mntl-figure-caption figure-article-caption\"><span class=\"figure-article-caption-owner\"><\/p>\n<p>@sacheu \/ Instagram<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-page_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-page mntl-block\" data-sc-sticky-offset=\"125\" data-sc-ad-label-height=\"16\" data-sc-ad-track-spacing=\"100\" data-sc-min-track-height=\"250\" data-sc-max-track-height=\"600\" data-sc-breakpoint=\"50em\" data-sc-load-immediate=\"5\" data-sc-content-positions=\"[1, 1250, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1]\" data-bind-scroll-on-start=\"true\">\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-callout--finalverdict beauty-sc-block-callout mntl-sc-block-callout mntl-block theme-finalverdict\" data-tracking-id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout\" data-tracking-container=\"true\">\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout-heading_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-callout-heading mntl-text-block\">Key Takeaways<\/p>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block-callout-body_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block-callout-body mntl-text-block\">\n<ul>\n<li>If the new year has you seeking a fresh outlook on life, investing in your self-care and beauty routine may be just the jumpstart you need.<\/li>\n<li>Common beauty concerns this time of year include dryness, hair damage, and a compromised skin barrier.

The new year brings an opportunity to refresh, start with a clean slate, and finally begin those better-for-you habits we&#8217;ve been putting off until after the holidays. Maybe it&#8217;s a big change, or maybe it&#8217;s as simple as committing to washing your makeup off every night, no matter how tedious it might feel. (If you&#8217;re judging me for that last sentence, I envy you.)\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_4-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> For me, as a thirty-something who thought I&#8217;d have every routine nailed down by now, my goals for the new year are to focus on self-care.

But it&#8217;s not all mental: January is also a time of year when your skin, hair, and body need a little extra TLC. &#8220;New Year&#8217;s is always about getting a fresh start, and for some people, that may be related to products and skincare,&#8221; explains board-certified dermatologist Marisa Garshick, MD, FAAD. &#8220;Some people focus on new skincare concerns, which may require different products than they are using. For others, it may be that holiday stress and travel take their toll and cause people to want to reset. Some people may have also received new skincare products or devices and are interested in testing them out.&#8221; Garshick&#8217;s last point holds merit this time of year, as the holidays often lead to finally getting that new skincare device or trending hair tool.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_12-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> On the topic of hair, &#8220;after the holidays, people often feel like their hair needs a reset,&#8221; says hairstylist Paulina Raciborski. &#8220;Between increased heat styling, frequent events, and winter weather, your hair can lose its shine and overall health. The New Year is a natural point to reassess what&#8217;s working and what isn&#8217;t. A hair refresh is often about restoring condition, simplifying maintenance, and choosing a look that&#8217;s easy to maintain for the months ahead.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_14-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Common New Year&#8217;s Beauty Concerns <\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_15-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Dry skin, makeup not sitting right, hair falling flat, you name it: Winter brings wellness challenges, but the new year brings solutions. Below are a few concerns you might be experiencing at this time\u2014all are common, which means you&#8217;ll also find plenty of potential fixes.\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_17-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Dry Skin <\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_18-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> &#8220;Winter can cause skin dryness on the face and the body,&#8221; Garshick explains. &#8220;Cooler temperatures, lower humidity, and increased exposure to indoor heating can all lead to dryness and irritation. This can also lead to the itchy feeling associated with dry skin. General dryness can also increase the potential for eczema, which can appear as pink flaky patches on the face or body.&#8221; The same applies to hair, which can result in dryness, breakage, split ends, and faded color as a result.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_20-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Products are your friend here, the experts agree. Whether it&#8217;s nailing the ideal dry skin routine or adding a hydrating hair mask to your holiday wishlist, we&#8217;ve got a solution for all of your target concerns.\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_22-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Post-Summer Sun Damage <\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_23-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> As if shorter days and colder temperatures weren&#8217;t punishment enough, our skin is also a visual reminder of the environment around us. Often, as we enter winter months, sun damage from the summer becomes more apparent.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_25-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> &#8220;The new year is a common time for treatments that help address post-summer skin, using lasers and chemical peels to reduce signs of sun damage, including sun spots, fine lines, and wrinkles,&#8221; Garshick notes. &#8220;Many patients come in wanting to reverse the cumulative effects of sun exposure from warmer months.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block_27-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-spotlight--mid-circ mntl-sc-block-spotlight--mid-circ mntl-block \">\n<h2 id=\"midcirc__heading_1-0\" class=\"comp midcirc__heading mntl-text-block\">Related Stories<\/h2>\n<div id=\"midcirc__card-list_1-0\" class=\"comp midcirc__card-list mntl-block\">\n<div id=\"midcirc-card__title_1-0\" class=\"comp midcirc-card__title mntl-text-block\">This Is the (Easy) Skin Barrier Repair Guide You&#8217;ve Been Waiting For<\/div>\n<div id=\"midcirc-card__image-wrapper_1-0\" class=\"comp midcirc-card__image-wrapper mntl-block\">\n<div class=\"img-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" alt=\"A closeup of a person applying serum to their face with a dropper\" class=\"lazyload midcirc-card__image mntl-image universal-image__image\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/skin-barrier-2-9857bef74e3f4b2684c3f15080102c04-2.webp\" title=\"skin-barrier-2-9857bef74e3f4b2684c3f15080102c04-2\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/skin-barrier-2-9857bef74e3f4b2684c3f15080102c04-2.webp\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"img--noscript midcirc-card__image mntl-image universal-image__image\" alt=\"A closeup of a person applying serum to their face with a dropper\" title=\"skin-barrier-2-9857bef74e3f4b2684c3f15080102c04-2\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"midcirc-card__title_2-0\" class=\"comp midcirc-card__title mntl-text-block\">Why Your Hair Keeps Breaking\u2014And How to Repair the Damage Fast<\/div>\n<div id=\"midcirc-card__image-wrapper_2-0\" class=\"comp midcirc-card__image-wrapper mntl-block\">\n<div class=\"img-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" alt=\"A person with hair tied in a ponytail by a green scrunchie viewed from the back\" class=\"lazyload midcirc-card__image mntl-image universal-image__image\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/hair-breakage-1-85704e50148d48f4ac5c691f10a9837c-4.webp\" title=\"hair-breakage-1-85704e50148d48f4ac5c691f10a9837c-4\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/hair-breakage-1-85704e50148d48f4ac5c691f10a9837c-4.webp\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"img--noscript midcirc-card__image mntl-image universal-image__image\" alt=\"A person with hair tied in a ponytail by a green scrunchie viewed from the back\" title=\"hair-breakage-1-85704e50148d48f4ac5c691f10a9837c-4\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_29-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Dullness <\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_30-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> This concern impacts us across the board. Dull skin leads to less-than-ideal product application, and dull hair can cause color and styling issues. &#8220;During the winter, the cold temperatures and lack of humidity in the air can lead to dryness of the skin,&#8221; Garshick says. &#8220;Indoor heating and hot showers can also lead to a loss of moisture and make the skin more vulnerable to irritation and a dull appearance. Additionally, holiday travel can take its toll and leave the skin looking dull, so boosting radiance in the new year is key.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_32-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> As for hair, beyond environmental factors, Raciborski adds that sometimes it comes down to simply not having time or energy for maintenance. &#8220;Many people also notice their haircut or color no longer feels polished or easy to maintain after a busy season,&#8221; she notes. &#8220;Hair may feel dull, heavier, or harder to style, which usually signals it\u2019s time for a refresh rather than a major change.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_34-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Acne Flare-Ups and Compromised Skin Barrier <\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_35-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> &#8220;Holiday travel and not removing makeup can trigger worsening breakouts, and for some people, the new year can be a good time to focus on dealing with them,&#8221; Garshick says. And sometimes, quick attempts at tackling new skin concerns can disrupt the skin barrier. &#8220;Over-exfoliation, harsh cleansing, or trying new products if traveling can disrupt the moisture barrier, leaving skin feeling tight, sensitive, and irritated,&#8221; Garshick continues. &#8220;For this reason, some people may find it helpful to simplify their routine in the new year.&#8221; As the saying goes, less is more.\n<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_37-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Beauty Refreshes to Start the Year Right <\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_38-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Regardless of your concerns, the new year brings new opportunity to correct and redirect, and our experts have some great ideas on where to start. From booking that long-awaited appointment to simple at-home switches, check out six of their top ideas below.\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_40-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> In-Office Treatments <\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_41-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Committing to a refreshed at-home skincare routine is phase one, but phase two of a new year&#8217;s beauty upgrade is leaning into dermatologist treatments that target your specific concerns. &#8220;The winter is especially good for procedures like chemical peels given overall decreased UV exposure during this time,&#8221; Garshick explains. Below are just a few treatments you might consider\u2014each has its own set of benefits, so you have options that fit a range of goals.\n<\/p>\n<ul id=\"mntl-sc-block_43-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\">\n<li><strong>Chemical peels: <\/strong>Looking to glow this year? &#8220;Chemical peels use exfoliating solutions to remove the dead skin cells, revealing a brighter, and smoother complexion,&#8221; Garshick tells us. While there&#8217;s a bit of downtime involved in a professional peel, it can be well worth it in revealing radiant, rejuvenated skin.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Laser treatments: <\/strong>&#8220;Laser treatments target signs of aging like sun damage, age spots, and uneven skin texture,&#8221; Garshick says. &#8220;These treatments encourage collagen production, leaving your skin smoother and more even-toned.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Microneedling:<\/strong> If your primary goal is smoother, plumper skin, &#8220;microneedling like\u00a0InMode Morpheus8\u00a0is excellent for post-holiday skin rejuvenation,&#8221; Garshick shares. &#8220;This treatment uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin that support collagen production. It&#8217;s particularly effective for improving texture and reducing the appearance of fine lines.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_45-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Refresh Your Makeup Bag <\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_46-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> We&#8217;ve all got that one makeup product (or multiple) that&#8217;s our go-to, but may or may not be long past its shelf life. While I&#8217;m typically in denial that any beauty item I put on my face could be expired, there&#8217;s no avoiding the passage of time.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_48-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> &#8220;Clean out your makeup bags,&#8221; emphasizes celebrity makeup artist Renny Vasquez. &#8220;Get rid of anything that has expired or is not serving you through the winter months.\u00a0Record the date you opened the products, or add the date to your calendar when you plan to refresh them. This way, you know when it&#8217;s time to replace.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_50-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Get a Fresh Cut and Color <\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_51-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Maybe it&#8217;s dramatic, or maybe it&#8217;s a simple dead-end chop. But either way, Raciborski says the new year is the perfect excuse. &#8220;A trim or refined shape can help remove damage and restore movement,&#8221; she notes. &#8220;Choosing a cut or color plan that prioritizes manageability and long term results [is a good New Year&#8217;s plan].&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_53-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Raciborski notes that subtle color adjustments like a gloss or toner can be a great alternative to a full color session to feel fresh with minimal upkeep. She also says that deep conditioning and bond repair are important to &#8220;strengthen hair after the holidays,&#8221; and reworking your styling routine to reduce heat can improve your hair health in the long run.\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_55-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Upgrade Your Home Skin Routine <\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_56-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> If making it to a dermatologist&#8217;s office for treatment isn&#8217;t an option for you, there are plenty of ways to upgrade your routine at home. &#8220;Gua sha is a simple but effective way to elevate your at-home routine,&#8221; Garshick shares. &#8220;With just a few minutes a day, it can help reduce puffiness, support lymphatic drainage, and improve circulation. It\u2019s also a great way to build a moment of mindful self-care into your morning or evening.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_58-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Beyond tools, specific products can help you achieve a post-dermatologist glow at home. &#8220;For those looking to up their anti-aging skincare game, using a retinoid is key,&#8221; Garshick tells us. &#8220;Retinoids are available over-the-counter or as a prescription, and [they] stimulate collagen production and help overall tone and texture.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_60-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> But don&#8217;t forget that protection and nourishment are as important as all you&#8217;re doing to sculpt and glow. &#8220;Regardless of what you do to your skin, it is always important to ensure a healthy skin barrier to minimize dryness and ensure the skin can best tolerate procedures and active ingredients,&#8221; Garshick says. &#8220;Look for moisturizers containing barrier-supporting ingredients like ceramides and cleansers that won&#8217;t strip the skin of its natural [barrier].&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_62-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> A New Piercing or Tattoo <\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_63-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Beauty goes beyond the classic definition, and if you&#8217;re looking to spice up your look in the new year, a new tattoo or piercing might just be the answer. Gone are the days of holding yourself back from tattoos, and with so many options from dainty to daring, there&#8217;s something for everyone. If you&#8217;ve had a new tat on your mind for a while or are feeling inspired by a certain trend or aesthetic, it could be just the energy you need to discover the 2026 version of yourself.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_65-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> If you&#8217;re looking for a semi-permanent change but aren&#8217;t ready to commit to a tattoo, a piercing feels like a happy medium. It&#8217;s still fun and flashy, but it&#8217;s possible to change up the look once it&#8217;s healed (or remove it later, if need be). If you&#8217;re looking for fresh options to consider, check out our roundup of the fastest-healing piercings.\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_67-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Bring Your Manicure Mood Board to Life <\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_68-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> If a permanent change isn&#8217;t in the cards for you next year, we get it. In that case, the new year is a great time to finally test out that funky manicure you&#8217;ve had bookmarked for half of 2025. Perhaps it&#8217;s caviar nails for a night out, cocktail-inspired nails to carry the holiday festivities a little longer (even if you&#8217;re observing dry January), or a bold cheetah print nail just because. No matter what, a bold mani is a seamless yet effective way to upgrade your look for the new year.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_70-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> The Final Takeaway <\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_71-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> The new year brings new opportunities for beauty upgrades, positive habit changes, and an excuse to pamper yourself more\u2014no matter what that looks like for you. It&#8217;s a great excuse to finally go for any treatments or major changes you&#8217;ve been mulling over, but even the smallest of routine upgrades (or low-key hair and nail updates) can be just what you need to rejuvenate your spirit for 2026.

The new year brings an opportunity to refresh, start with a clean slate, and finally begin those better-for-you habits we&#8217;ve been putting off until after the holidays. Maybe it&#8217;s a big change, or maybe it&#8217;s as simple as committing to washing your makeup off every night, no matter how tedious it might feel. (If you&#8217;re judging me for that last sentence, I envy you.)\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_4-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> For me, as a thirty-something who thought I&#8217;d have every routine nailed down by now, my goals for the new year are to focus on self-care.

But it&#8217;s not all mental: January is also a time of year when your skin, hair, and body need a little extra TLC. &#8220;New Year&#8217;s is always about getting a fresh start, and for some people, that may be related to products and skincare,&#8221; explains board-certified dermatologist Marisa Garshick, MD, FAAD. &#8220;Some people focus on new skincare concerns, which may require different products than they are using. For others, it may be that holiday stress and travel take their toll and cause people to want to reset. Some people may have also received new skincare products or devices and are interested in testing them out.&#8221; Garshick&#8217;s last point holds merit this time of year, as the holidays often lead to finally getting that new skincare device or trending hair tool.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_12-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> On the topic of hair, &#8220;after the holidays, people often feel like their hair needs a reset,&#8221; says hairstylist Paulina Raciborski. &#8220;Between increased heat styling, frequent events, and winter weather, your hair can lose its shine and overall health. The New Year is a natural point to reassess what&#8217;s working and what isn&#8217;t. A hair refresh is often about restoring condition, simplifying maintenance, and choosing a look that&#8217;s easy to maintain for the months ahead.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_14-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Common New Year&#8217;s Beauty Concerns <\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_15-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Dry skin, makeup not sitting right, hair falling flat, you name it: Winter brings wellness challenges, but the new year brings solutions. Below are a few concerns you might be experiencing at this time\u2014all are common, which means you&#8217;ll also find plenty of potential fixes.\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_17-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Dry Skin <\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_18-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> &#8220;Winter can cause skin dryness on the face and the body,&#8221; Garshick explains. &#8220;Cooler temperatures, lower humidity, and increased exposure to indoor heating can all lead to dryness and irritation. This can also lead to the itchy feeling associated with dry skin. General dryness can also increase the potential for eczema, which can appear as pink flaky patches on the face or body.&#8221; The same applies to hair, which can result in dryness, breakage, split ends, and faded color as a result.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_20-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Products are your friend here, the experts agree. Whether it&#8217;s nailing the ideal dry skin routine or adding a hydrating hair mask to your holiday wishlist, we&#8217;ve got a solution for all of your target concerns.\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_22-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Post-Summer Sun Damage <\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_23-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> As if shorter days and colder temperatures weren&#8217;t punishment enough, our skin is also a visual reminder of the environment around us. Often, as we enter winter months, sun damage from the summer becomes more apparent.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_25-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> &#8220;The new year is a common time for treatments that help address post-summer skin, using lasers and chemical peels to reduce signs of sun damage, including sun spots, fine lines, and wrinkles,&#8221; Garshick notes. &#8220;Many patients come in wanting to reverse the cumulative effects of sun exposure from warmer months.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<div id=\"mntl-sc-block_27-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-spotlight--mid-circ mntl-sc-block-spotlight--mid-circ mntl-block \">\n<h2 id=\"midcirc__heading_1-0\" class=\"comp midcirc__heading mntl-text-block\">Related Stories<\/h2>\n<div id=\"midcirc__card-list_1-0\" class=\"comp midcirc__card-list mntl-block\">\n<div id=\"midcirc-card__title_1-0\" class=\"comp midcirc-card__title mntl-text-block\">This Is the (Easy) Skin Barrier Repair Guide You&#8217;ve Been Waiting For<\/div>\n<div id=\"midcirc-card__image-wrapper_1-0\" class=\"comp midcirc-card__image-wrapper mntl-block\">\n<div class=\"img-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" alt=\"A closeup of a person applying serum to their face with a dropper\" class=\"lazyload midcirc-card__image mntl-image universal-image__image\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/skin-barrier-2-9857bef74e3f4b2684c3f15080102c04-2.webp\" title=\"skin-barrier-2-9857bef74e3f4b2684c3f15080102c04-2\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/skin-barrier-2-9857bef74e3f4b2684c3f15080102c04-2.webp\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"img--noscript midcirc-card__image mntl-image universal-image__image\" alt=\"A closeup of a person applying serum to their face with a dropper\" title=\"skin-barrier-2-9857bef74e3f4b2684c3f15080102c04-2\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"midcirc-card__title_2-0\" class=\"comp midcirc-card__title mntl-text-block\">Why Your Hair Keeps Breaking\u2014And How to Repair the Damage Fast<\/div>\n<div id=\"midcirc-card__image-wrapper_2-0\" class=\"comp midcirc-card__image-wrapper mntl-block\">\n<div class=\"img-placeholder\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" alt=\"A person with hair tied in a ponytail by a green scrunchie viewed from the back\" class=\"lazyload midcirc-card__image mntl-image universal-image__image\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/hair-breakage-1-85704e50148d48f4ac5c691f10a9837c-4.webp\" title=\"hair-breakage-1-85704e50148d48f4ac5c691f10a9837c-4\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/hair-breakage-1-85704e50148d48f4ac5c691f10a9837c-4.webp\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"img--noscript midcirc-card__image mntl-image universal-image__image\" alt=\"A person with hair tied in a ponytail by a green scrunchie viewed from the back\" title=\"hair-breakage-1-85704e50148d48f4ac5c691f10a9837c-4\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_29-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Dullness <\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_30-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> This concern impacts us across the board. Dull skin leads to less-than-ideal product application, and dull hair can cause color and styling issues. &#8220;During the winter, the cold temperatures and lack of humidity in the air can lead to dryness of the skin,&#8221; Garshick says. &#8220;Indoor heating and hot showers can also lead to a loss of moisture and make the skin more vulnerable to irritation and a dull appearance. Additionally, holiday travel can take its toll and leave the skin looking dull, so boosting radiance in the new year is key.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_32-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> As for hair, beyond environmental factors, Raciborski adds that sometimes it comes down to simply not having time or energy for maintenance. &#8220;Many people also notice their haircut or color no longer feels polished or easy to maintain after a busy season,&#8221; she notes. &#8220;Hair may feel dull, heavier, or harder to style, which usually signals it\u2019s time for a refresh rather than a major change.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_34-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Acne Flare-Ups and Compromised Skin Barrier <\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_35-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> &#8220;Holiday travel and not removing makeup can trigger worsening breakouts, and for some people, the new year can be a good time to focus on dealing with them,&#8221; Garshick says. And sometimes, quick attempts at tackling new skin concerns can disrupt the skin barrier. &#8220;Over-exfoliation, harsh cleansing, or trying new products if traveling can disrupt the moisture barrier, leaving skin feeling tight, sensitive, and irritated,&#8221; Garshick continues. &#8220;For this reason, some people may find it helpful to simplify their routine in the new year.&#8221; As the saying goes, less is more.\n<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_37-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> Beauty Refreshes to Start the Year Right <\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_38-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Regardless of your concerns, the new year brings new opportunity to correct and redirect, and our experts have some great ideas on where to start. From booking that long-awaited appointment to simple at-home switches, check out six of their top ideas below.\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_40-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> In-Office Treatments <\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_41-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Committing to a refreshed at-home skincare routine is phase one, but phase two of a new year&#8217;s beauty upgrade is leaning into dermatologist treatments that target your specific concerns. &#8220;The winter is especially good for procedures like chemical peels given overall decreased UV exposure during this time,&#8221; Garshick explains. Below are just a few treatments you might consider\u2014each has its own set of benefits, so you have options that fit a range of goals.\n<\/p>\n<ul id=\"mntl-sc-block_43-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\">\n<li><strong>Chemical peels: <\/strong>Looking to glow this year? &#8220;Chemical peels use exfoliating solutions to remove the dead skin cells, revealing a brighter, and smoother complexion,&#8221; Garshick tells us. While there&#8217;s a bit of downtime involved in a professional peel, it can be well worth it in revealing radiant, rejuvenated skin.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Laser treatments: <\/strong>&#8220;Laser treatments target signs of aging like sun damage, age spots, and uneven skin texture,&#8221; Garshick says. &#8220;These treatments encourage collagen production, leaving your skin smoother and more even-toned.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Microneedling:<\/strong> If your primary goal is smoother, plumper skin, &#8220;microneedling like\u00a0InMode Morpheus8\u00a0is excellent for post-holiday skin rejuvenation,&#8221; Garshick shares. &#8220;This treatment uses tiny needles to create micro-injuries in the skin that support collagen production. It&#8217;s particularly effective for improving texture and reducing the appearance of fine lines.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_45-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Refresh Your Makeup Bag <\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_46-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> We&#8217;ve all got that one makeup product (or multiple) that&#8217;s our go-to, but may or may not be long past its shelf life. While I&#8217;m typically in denial that any beauty item I put on my face could be expired, there&#8217;s no avoiding the passage of time.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_48-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> &#8220;Clean out your makeup bags,&#8221; emphasizes celebrity makeup artist Renny Vasquez. &#8220;Get rid of anything that has expired or is not serving you through the winter months.\u00a0Record the date you opened the products, or add the date to your calendar when you plan to refresh them. This way, you know when it&#8217;s time to replace.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_50-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Get a Fresh Cut and Color <\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_51-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Maybe it&#8217;s dramatic, or maybe it&#8217;s a simple dead-end chop. But either way, Raciborski says the new year is the perfect excuse. &#8220;A trim or refined shape can help remove damage and restore movement,&#8221; she notes. &#8220;Choosing a cut or color plan that prioritizes manageability and long term results [is a good New Year&#8217;s plan].&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_53-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Raciborski notes that subtle color adjustments like a gloss or toner can be a great alternative to a full color session to feel fresh with minimal upkeep. She also says that deep conditioning and bond repair are important to &#8220;strengthen hair after the holidays,&#8221; and reworking your styling routine to reduce heat can improve your hair health in the long run.\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_55-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Upgrade Your Home Skin Routine <\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_56-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> If making it to a dermatologist&#8217;s office for treatment isn&#8217;t an option for you, there are plenty of ways to upgrade your routine at home. &#8220;Gua sha is a simple but effective way to elevate your at-home routine,&#8221; Garshick shares. &#8220;With just a few minutes a day, it can help reduce puffiness, support lymphatic drainage, and improve circulation. It\u2019s also a great way to build a moment of mindful self-care into your morning or evening.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_58-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Beyond tools, specific products can help you achieve a post-dermatologist glow at home. &#8220;For those looking to up their anti-aging skincare game, using a retinoid is key,&#8221; Garshick tells us. &#8220;Retinoids are available over-the-counter or as a prescription, and [they] stimulate collagen production and help overall tone and texture.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_60-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> But don&#8217;t forget that protection and nourishment are as important as all you&#8217;re doing to sculpt and glow. &#8220;Regardless of what you do to your skin, it is always important to ensure a healthy skin barrier to minimize dryness and ensure the skin can best tolerate procedures and active ingredients,&#8221; Garshick says. &#8220;Look for moisturizers containing barrier-supporting ingredients like ceramides and cleansers that won&#8217;t strip the skin of its natural [barrier].&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_62-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> A New Piercing or Tattoo <\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_63-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> Beauty goes beyond the classic definition, and if you&#8217;re looking to spice up your look in the new year, a new tattoo or piercing might just be the answer. Gone are the days of holding yourself back from tattoos, and with so many options from dainty to daring, there&#8217;s something for everyone. If you&#8217;ve had a new tat on your mind for a while or are feeling inspired by a certain trend or aesthetic, it could be just the energy you need to discover the 2026 version of yourself.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_65-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> If you&#8217;re looking for a semi-permanent change but aren&#8217;t ready to commit to a tattoo, a piercing feels like a happy medium. It&#8217;s still fun and flashy, but it&#8217;s possible to change up the look once it&#8217;s healed (or remove it later, if need be). If you&#8217;re looking for fresh options to consider, check out our roundup of the fastest-healing piercings.\n<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"mntl-sc-block_67-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-subheading mntl-sc-block-subheading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Bring Your Manicure Mood Board to Life <\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_68-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> If a permanent change isn&#8217;t in the cards for you next year, we get it. In that case, the new year is a great time to finally test out that funky manicure you&#8217;ve had bookmarked for half of 2025. Perhaps it&#8217;s caviar nails for a night out, cocktail-inspired nails to carry the holiday festivities a little longer (even if you&#8217;re observing dry January), or a bold cheetah print nail just because. No matter what, a bold mani is a seamless yet effective way to upgrade your look for the new year.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_70-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"><span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text text-title-300\"> The Final Takeaway <\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_71-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block beauty-sc-block-html mntl-sc-block-html\"> The new year brings new opportunities for beauty upgrades, positive habit changes, and an excuse to pamper yourself more\u2014no matter what that looks like for you. It&#8217;s a great excuse to finally go for any treatments or major changes you&#8217;ve been mulling over, but even the smallest of routine upgrades (or low-key hair and nail updates) can be just what you need to rejuvenate your spirit for 2026. If you were looking for an excuse to invest in self-care, this is your sign to do so.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> Source URL: https:\/\/www.byrdie.com\/new-year-beauty-upgrades-11869840<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Year, New Me: Tips to Get a Beauty-Forward Fresh Start in 2026 By Dylan Marino Dylan Marino Dylan is a writer and director of social media &amp; digital strategy at Loverboy.
