5 Easy-to-Follow Skincare Resolutions for 2025

As 2025 approaches, many of us set goals or resolutions to start the year right or transform into a better version of ourselves. The reality is, however, that many of these promises fail due to unrealistic expectations, lack of specificity, and not having an actual plan to achieve them.

Sanctuary by Cutis in Singapore is committed to helping you achieve your beauty and skincare goals with personalized treatments. We know how difficult it can be to follow through with some of the most common resolutions, which is why we offer manageable skincare goals that can help set the foundation for healthy, glowing skin.

1. Incorporate vitamin C into your morning routine

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that can fight free radicals, which are known to damage the skin and accelerate the aging process. A quality Vitamin C formula can brighten dark spots, help boost collagen, and improve lines and wrinkles for a more youthful complexion.

While you can use vitamin C serum either morning or night, most skincare experts recommend applying it during the daytime. Doing so enhances the skin’s defense system and amplifies the sunscreen’s protective power. Vitamin C boosts the efficacy of your SPF by neutralizing free radicals that may slip through your sunscreen.

Do take note that not all vitamin C serums are created equal. It is recommended to choose a formula with L-ascorbic acid with a formulation of 10 to 20%. Your product should also contain ingredients that help stabilize and increase the vitamin C’s effectiveness. These include ferulic acid and vitamins E, B3, and B5. 

2. Always wear sunscreen, even when it’s cloudy

Never skip sunscreen when it’s cloudy or cold. UV rays from the sun can still penetrate the clouds and reach your skin. The easiest thing you can do to protect your skin is to wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. Apply liberally every morning and even when indoors, especially when you work near windows. 

Make sure not to forget commonly neglected areas, such as the neck, ears, and back of hands. You should also reapply every two hours and after swimming, sweating, or toweling off. Do take note that no sunscreen can provide 100% protection, so you should also wear sunglasses, wide-brimmed hats, and protective clothing.

3. Give your neck/chest area the TLC it deserves

The neck is one of the first areas to show signs of aging because it is often overlooked in skincare. So, this 2025, start giving your neck, along with the upper chest, the love and care it deserves. Do take note that just like the face, it is prone to different signs of aging such as wrinkles, sagging skin, and pigmentation. 

Treat your neck and décolletage the same way as your face. Cleanse, apply an anti-aging serum, wear sunscreen, and moisturize. If you, however, are already concerned with signs of aging on the neck, the NIR Cinderella treatment can help. It uses pulsed infrared light to tighten loose skin on the face, neck, and other areas of the body.

4. Try a professional facial or peel

Start your new year with refreshed and rejuvenated skin with an in-office facial or chemical peel in Singapore. Such treatments can be tailored to your needs and address several concerns, such as sun damage, uneven skin tone, fine lines, and wrinkles. They can also help keep your skin looking smoother and more youthful. 

At Sanctuary by Cutis, we have several facials and peels that can do more than exfoliate and clarify congested skin. Our HydraMaster, for instance, uses different technologies that help accelerate skin renewal, unclog pores, reduce pore size, and improve skin tone and texture. We also have:

• Limelight Photo Facial – uses intelligent pulses of light customized to your skin tone. It can reduce the appearance of facial redness, tiny veins, pigmentation, and sun damage, as well as help stimulate collagen.
• VI Peel – improves the tone, texture, and clarity of your skin, and targets multiple skin conditions. There are also different types of VI Peels specifically formulated to improve various concerns, including acne, sun damage, fine lines, and loss of elasticity. 
• Crystal Carboxy – uses a non-invasive, anti-aging skin correcting technology to increase the skin’s oxygen supply. It can help with cell restoration and offer anti-aging, rejuvenating, and brightening benefits.

5. Be consistent and stick to your routine

Slow, steady, and consistent wins the race. While there may be quick fixes or products that promise visible improvements sooner than you’d expect, genuine success in skincare (and other aspects of life) comes from long-term commitment. You won’t be able to see results or changes in your skin if you don’t use your products consistently.  

This is why it is important to create a skincare regimen that is realistic and fits your lifestyle. An easy way to build and stick to your routine is to start with the basics, which include cleansing, moisturizing, and applying sunscreen during the day, and cleansing, applying serums, and moisturizing at night. 

Start the year right by engaging in habits that support your skin and overall health. Doing so will not only keep your skin looking glowing and youthful, but also make you feel good about yourself and increase your self-confidence.
