10 New Year's Beauty Resolutions That You Can Actually Stick To

This is not as hard as we make it out to be. You can do this. I always tell clients — who balk at the thought of adding something else into their skincare routines — that it doesn't have to be twice a day to see results. Put it next to your nightstand and try to do it at night, or put it in your fridge (cold formulas will help with puffiness in the morning) next to the sugar so you will remember it each morning with your coffee. If you can get in the habit of applying it just once a day, you will see great results.

My go-to product that I always suggest to first-time eye treatment users is the Laura Mercier Repair Eye Serum (£66). This product can be used under an eye cream or by itself. It contains arnica, which helps with dark circles, as well as caffeine for puffiness and anti-ageing ingredients that will plump up and treat fine lines. It's an all-in-one miracle product that will provide instant results so you will feel good about your New Year's resolution immediately.

It is easy to get overwhelmed by all of the ideas and tips that we find ourselves inundated with. Pick one thing to ingest in 2018. Maybe you never take your multivitamin, maybe you don't drink enough water, maybe you want to start taking collagen or fish oil to improve your skin. No matter what you choose, any of these and countless others will reap beauty benefits. Don't stress yourself out with a million new things to take or drink; just pick one and see if you can stick with it. Once you start seeing results, which will likely be in a few weeks, you won't want to stop, and the rest of 2018 is in the bag.

I personally plan to take Olly Undeniable Beauty Grapefruit Glam Vitamin Gummies (£14). I don't know for sure that they will work, but if they are good enough for the Kardashians, they are good enough for me.

Women who have dry, flaky, chapped lips seem to just resign themselves to this condition. Every day, especially in the Winter, my clients often tell me, "Oh, I have tried every lip balm, but I still always have dry lips." This doesn't have to be!

First of all, if it's true that you have tried every lip treatment in the world and nothing works, then seek professional help from your dermatologist. Secondly, if by "every" lip treatment, you mean a variety of drugstore balms, there is still hope for you. Your lips will never get better if you don't remove the dry, dead skin from the surface. You have to scrub your pucker once or twice a week with a proper lip scrub and follow with a hydrating balm or treatment. My favourite during the cold months for creating perfectly kissable lips is the Fresh Sugar Lip Polish (£19.50).

I am guilty of getting ready every day in a space that does not have good light or a nice mirror. It is a beautiful master bathroom that I designed myself. When it was all done, I realised that I had poor lighting and a bad mirror for doing my makeup each day. I just accepted defeat. As a result, I leave for work each day thinking I look like a bombshell only to be met by the evils of the rear-view mirror in my car. I am putting the Illuminating Travel Mirror (£20) on my never-ending wish list to alleviate this ongoing problem.

Fix your light or mirror if you do your makeup each morning and you know you can't see perfectly. If you just keep applying your face in the dark, you may not be well-blending or wearing enough blush. This is an easy fix.
