A magical new year lies before you like a blank canvas to be filled with everything you want, and you should take the time to prioritize the most important person in your life: yourself.
To help you on your way, we have put together a guide on how to start and end 2024 in the best way possible.
With our guide, it is easy to make time in your daily life for a new skincare routine that is right for you and your skin.
1. Devote time to exfoliation.
By age 40, skin thins and cell renewal is reduced by up to 50%.
That is why it is even more important to devote time to exfoliation as part of your skin care routine.
Exfoliation stimulates cell renewal by removing the top layer of dead skin, allowing the skin to better utilize the ingredients in skin care products.
We recommend using a gentle scrub or peel, such as our Nordic Exfoliating Face Scrub. This gentle face scrub, made with shea butter and cranberry seed oil, effectively removes dead skin cells and stimulates skin renewal while providing plenty of hydration and protection from the harsh Nordic climate.
2. Moisture bomb
One of the most important New Year’s resolutions is to hydrate the skin from the inside out.
According to the EFSA (European Food Safety Authority), the female body needs a fluid intake of two liters a day.
All skin cells need enough water to do their job.
It is also necessary to choose moisturizing products that create a barrier so that the skin does not suffer from dehydration.
Our Nordic Recovery Cream is a rich and nourishing face cream, rich in fatty acids and antioxidants that protect fragile facial skin from daily stress.
Known for its high bioactive content, pure Arctic wild cranberry vegetable oil provides effective and long-lasting hydration that creates a strong skin barrier.
The super ingredient niacinamide, in combination with pure Arctic spring water and vitamin C-rich sea buckthorn oil, calms and improves skin texture.
3. Protect the skin year-round
Did you know that SPF is important year-round, even in the winter months?
All exposed areas such as the face, neck, décolleté and hands should apply sunscreen daily to prevent premature skin aging and slow the formation of wrinkles.
Be sure to purchase a sunscreen that is free of endocrine disrupting chemicals and is safe for daily use.
4. Making an ecological choice
2024 is the year to replace old skin care products with something that is actually good for you and the environment!
All of our products are vegan and contain locally sourced ingredients native to the Nordic climate.
Start by switching to a moisturizer made from organic ingredients, such as our Nordic Recovery Cream rich in sea buckthorn berries. Orange sea buckthorn berries contain an incredible ten times more vitamin C than an orange.
5. Skin care tailored to you
Do you still use skin products designed for younger women?
Then it’s time to switch to products suitable for your mature skin.
After the age of 40, skin has a greater need for products that moisturize and give it a natural glow.
Nordic Firming Serum is a must in your skin care routine. WARNING. Our serum is temporarily sold out due to high demand.
This fantastic serum contains birch sap rich in nutrients, amino acids, proteins and minerals to ensure optimal hydration.
The serum gives the skin a natural firming effect, calming and reducing redness.
It is also enriched with red algae, rich in calcium, which protects and nourishes the skin barrier. Hyaluronic acid binds moisture to the skin and retains it for up to 48 hours.
6. Giving the skin the right nourishment
A diet rich in vitamins and minerals that your skin really loves is essential for healthy skin that can perform all its tasks.
If you cannot get the essential vitamins and minerals that make your skin happy, you can give your body and your skin a supplement of vitamin D, calcium, and folate by taking daily vitamin supplements.
7. Stress relief
When you are stressed, so is your skin.
Getting enough sleep, doing yoga and meditation are stress-reducing habits that can be easily implemented in your busy everyday life. Living with stress in your body for long periods of time is detrimental to your health and skin.
A relaxing meditation or yoga, or even something as simple as sharing company with a steaming cup of tea, can help you relax and appreciate the small moments more.
8. Skin care is self-care
A skincare routine does not have to be expensive or take up a lot of time.
When you pamper your skin with products made just for you, it becomes a relaxing ritual in which you are the center of attention.
All of our products are made especially for people between the ages of 50 and 100, so that you can continue to pamper yourself with quality local products for years to come.
