A new year is the perfect excuse to hit refresh – not just on your goals, but on your skincare routine too. After months of summer sun, late nights, and all the seasonal changes, your skin can start to feel tired, dehydrated, or out of balance. Giving your routine a reset can leave you feeling revitalised and ready to glow all year long.
Here are three simple ways to look after your skin in 2026, with key products to add to your routine (all easily available at Hairhouse!).
1. Get back to basics
Whether you learned your skincare tips from your mum, YouTube marathons, or TikTok skinfluencers, you might think you’ve got it all figured out. But one thing people often overlook? The order you apply your products – and yes, it actually matters.
Start with a gentle cleanser to remove dirt and impurities, then layer a toner to refresh your skin. Follow with serums to target your specific concerns, and lock it in with a moisturiser. In the morning, top it all off with a hydrating SPF, while at night, treat your skin to nourishing creams or oils. Proper layering ensures each product works its magic, so your skin really reaps the benefits.

2. Treat yourself weekly
Face masks aren’t just for special occasions – they should be a weekly treat. Hydrating or detoxifying masks are perfect for when your skin feels dull, tired, or stressed. Even just 10 to 15 minutes can give your complexion an instant pick-me-up, and bonus: it forces you to slow down and take a moment for yourself.

3. Tailor your routine to you (not your fave beauty influencer)
Skincare is not one-size-fits-all. Just because your favourite beauty influencer swears by a product doesn’t mean it’s right for you. Choosing products that match your specific skin type – dry, oily, sensitive, or combination—means every step actually works. Customising your routine helps you maintain balance, comfort, and glow no matter the season.
