Resolution 1: Cool your shower
Result: It’s tempting to crank up the temperature in the shower at this time of year but warm water strips the skin of its natural oils. If you can’t give up cosy bathing, make sure you moisturise your skin straight after washing. Apply a lotion or body oil while skin is slightly damp to lock in even more moisture.
Resolution 2: Go to bed early
Result: They don’t call it beauty sleep for nothing! Studies have shown that lack of sleep could add as many as 10 years to your appearance. A good eight hours a night will help your skin repair itself so it looks bright and glowing come morning.

Resolution 4: Brush your body
Result: This simple step could reap big rewards when it comes to achieving a smooth body. Before you get in the shower, spend a few minutes sweeping a long handled body brush up your limbs towards your heart. This will help to improve circulation, which could minimise the look of orange peel skin and leave your body silky-smooth.
Resolution 5: Persevere with your skin creams
Result: If you’ve bought the latest dream cream, don’t ditch your new skincare regime the moment you don’t see instant effects. Anti-ageing creams can take up to six weeks to show visible results so it’s worth persevering for long-term anti-ageing results.
Resolution 6: Avoid sugar
Result: The Percy Pigs and Hob Nobs might be calling to you but sugar, however gosh darn tasty it is, can pile years on your skin. In fact, when it comes to wrinkles it can be as bad for you as lying in the sun. So give up the sweet treats and you’ll help fend off those wrinkles for longer.
Resolution 7: Go for regular trims
Result: Yes, it’s a myth that dusting off your split ends every six weeks makes your hair grow quicker, but what it does do is make your locks look healthier and more youthful. Plus, getting rid of those wispy ends actually makes your hair appear thicker. Bonus!

Resolution 9: Curl your lashes
Result: Lifted, curled eyelashes allow more light into the eye making you look rested, brighter and wide awake. Gently crimp using eyelash curlers, starting at the base of your lashes and working towards the ends. Finish with a couple of coats of black mascara to really make eyes pop.
