The New Year is a time for fresh starts, renewed goals, and embracing new habits that promote overall well-being—and what better way to kick off the year than by focusing on your skin? If you’re ready to embrace clearer, healthier skin in 2025, now is the perfect time to evaluate your skincare routine, lifestyle habits, and overall wellness. Clear skin doesn’t just happen by chance—it’s the result of consistent, mindful care.
In this post, we’ll walk you through seven simple steps to help you achieve clear, radiant skin this year. Whether you’re tackling acne for the first time or refining your existing skincare routine, these tips are designed to give you the tools you need for your best skin yet.
1. Deep Clean Your Makeup Brushes for Healthy Skin
If you’ve been using the same makeup brushes for a while, it’s time to clean them up! Dirty brushes can harbor bacteria, oils, and leftover makeup residue that can clog pores and contribute to breakouts. Clean your brushes at least once a week using an antibacterial brush cleaner or mild acne-safe soap. We love Branch Basic’s Concentrate for cleaning brushes. Keeping your tools sanitized will help ensure your skin stays clear and irritation-free.
2. Audit Your Makeup and Grooming Products: Are They Acne-Safe?
This year, commit to reviewing all your makeup and grooming products. Do they contain ingredients that could trigger acne? Know your acne-safe ingredient list, and if you a reminder, ask us for the list. Toss expired items, and if any of your products cause irritation, don’t hesitate to replace them with acne-safe alternatives. Pay close attention to products like foundations, powders, SPF, and lip glosses. Remember, your skin can only stay clear if the products you’re using are designed to support healthy skin!
We love our Stitch Cosmetics–all of which are acne-safe. From foundations to lip gloss, we’ve got you covered!
3. Revisit Your Diet for Clear Skin: What to Ditch & What to Add
Your diet plays a huge role in skin health, so it’s time to clean out your pantry and fridge. Certain foods—like dairy, soy, and highly processed products—can contribute to acne flare-ups. Consider replacing peanut butter with almond butter, eliminating soy and whey-based protein powders, and stocking up on fresh, whole foods like fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins. Foods rich in antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids (like berries, and leafy greens) can help reduce inflammation and promote clear, glowing skin from the inside out.
4. Restock Your Skincare Products for Clear, Glowing Skin
Do a quick audit of your skincare stash to ensure you have everything you need to keep your skin clear. Check if you’re running low on essentials like Go Gently cleanser, toner, serums, and moisturizers. You don’t want to run out of Beachy Clean Clinical Skincare. A few days without an exfoliating serum or Wipe Out could lead to breakouts.
5. Review Your Laundry Routine: The Key to Healthy Skin
While it’s easy to focus on the products you apply to your skin, don’t overlook the impact of your laundry habits. Harsh detergents, fabric softeners, and dryer sheets can irritate sensitive skin and cause breakouts. Switch to a mild, hypoallergenic detergent and skip the fabric softener and dryer sheets. Also, stock up on pillowcases to make sure you’re switching them out every other night. Clean pillowcases can help keep bacteria, oils, and sweat from transferring to your skin while you sleep, reducing the risk of breakouts.
6. Schedule Your Professional Skin Check-In for a Personalized Approach
If you’re serious about achieving clear skin in the New Year, it’s essential to book a professional skin check-in with our team at Beach Beauty Bar and Acne Clinic. A personalized treatment will allow us to assess your skin type, discuss any acne concerns, and create a custom treatment plan that works for you. Whether you need deep cleansing acne treatments, or advice on which products will benefit your skin most, we’re here to help. Remember, booking in advance is key to securing the best appointment times!
7. Make Time for Stress Reduction and Wellness
Clear skin isn’t just about what you put on your face—it’s also about how you take care of your mind and body. Stress can lead to hormonal imbalances that trigger acne, so it’s essential to prioritize wellness this year. Whether it’s meditation, journaling, yoga, or simply taking time each day to relax, reducing stress can have a significant impact on your skin’s health. Incorporate some mindfulness practices into your daily routine to help keep your skin—and your mind—in top shape.
