How to Get Your Beauty Maintenance Before the New Year

The countdown to the New Year is on, and as we prepare to welcome 2025, it’s the perfect time to refresh, recharge, and revamp your beauty routine. This is the season of celebrating, setting intentions, and stepping into the new year as your most radiant self. But before you pop the champagne, make sure your beauty maintenance is on point. Here’s a guide to help you get ready for the big night—and beyond!
 
1. Start with Skincare Goals
Your skin is the foundation of your glow, so give it some extra TLC before the new year. Start with a professional facial to deeply cleanse, exfoliate, and hydrate. Treatments like dermaplaning or a chemical peel can leave your skin smooth and radiant. If you’re doing at-home maintenance, invest in a good exfoliator like Drunk Elephant T.L.C. Sukari Babyfacial and follow up with a hydrating serum such as The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + B5. These steps will ensure your makeup sits beautifully for all your holiday celebrations.
Pro tip: If your skin is prone to dryness during the winter months, switch to a richer moisturizer, like Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream, and don’t forget your SPF—even in December!
 
2. Hair Care Refresh
Whether you’re rocking natural curls, a sleek bob, or protective styles like braids or twists, this is the perfect time to update your look or refresh your current style. Book a salon appointment for a trim or deep-conditioning treatment to keep your hair healthy and strong. For those sporting protective styles, ensure your edges are thriving.
 
Thinking about a color change or a bold new cut? Now’s the time to experiment. A fresh look is a great way to step into the New Year with confidence.
 
3. Nail Your Nail Game
Your hands will be doing a lot of cheers-ing, so make sure they’re photo-ready. Treat yourself to a manicure and pedicure in festive shades like deep reds, metallic golds, or classic nudes. If you’re into nail art, consider a chic design to match your New Year’s Eve outfit. For at-home maintenance, use OPI Nail Lacquer and a nourishing cuticle oil like Essie Apricot Cuticle Oil to keep your nails in shape.
 
4. Lash & Brow Love
Lashes and brows frame your face and give you that polished look. Book an appointment for a lash lift, extensions, or brow shaping to enhance your natural features. If you prefer a DIY approach, Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz and Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara are staples for bold, defined looks.
 
5. Don’t Forget Your Body
Glowing skin isn’t just for your face. Exfoliate your body with a luxurious scrub like Herbivore Coco Rose Body Polish, then lock in moisture with a rich body butter like Fenty Skin Butta Drop. Finish with a soft fragrance like Jo Malone Peony & Blush Suede Cologne to leave a lasting impression.
 
By taking the time to prioritize your beauty maintenance, you’ll not only look amazing but feel ready to take on 2025 with confidence and grace. Cheers to a beautiful New Year!
