5 Derm-Approved New Year Skin Tips

As with most things in life, consistency is key. Stick to these healthy habits to achieve a clear complexion in 2023 and beyond:

1. Clean Items That Come in Contact With Your Skin: Contact dermatitis is a skin condition caused by direct contact with substances. Be careful with items that touch your face–pillowcases, bedding, towels, your phone, and accessories like headphones can harbor bacteria and affect the skin. We recommend washing your bedding at least once a week and cleaning items with antibacterial wipes. Keep your hands off your face as well–it’s a bad habit many of us have! External dirt can cause clogged pores and adverse skin reactions.

2. Invest in a Science-Backed Skincare Routine: Instead of spending time and money testing out hundreds of topicals to see what actually works for your skin, Revea’s precision, clinically-backed regimens are designed based on your custom skin scan. It’s a simple, easy-to-follow process that takes 5 minutes. Upon completing your scan, our team of chemists, engineers, and scientists get to work developing your unique regimen. All our formulations are 100% made-to-order–we don’t keep any product in stock. Plus, we offer a 90-day trial period to ensure you’re 100% happy with your custom formula. Our customers’ satisfaction and skin health are our top priorities at Revea. 

3. Wear Sunscreen Daily: Applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30-50 is a must for everyone–regardless of skin type and color. Daily application of sunscreen slows the aging process and protects against skin cancers. Both physical and chemical sunscreens are great. Curious about how they differ? Physical sunscreens protect the skin by sitting on the surface and reflecting UV rays. They block UVA and UVB rays from penetrating the skin and are formulated with zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide. Chemical sunscreens, on the other hand, work like a sponge, absorbing UV rays. Chemical sunscreens degrade in sunlight, therefore requiring more frequent application. 

4. Practice Good Sleep Hygiene: Have you ever noticed your skin looking extra glowy in the morning? That’s because your skin completed its natural repair and reset process while you were asleep. Consistently getting 7-9 hours of quality sleep every night can improve the overall appearance of your skin. Aim to go to bed at the same time each night, and remove electronic devices that emit blue light a few hours before sleeping. Remember to remove your makeup and treat your skin with moisturizing topicals. At night, our bodies transit back to repair mode where our cells undergo regeneration and natural moisture loss occurs. 

5. Schedule a Skin Consultation: If you have concerns about your skin’s current condition or regimen, our skin experts are here to help! Revea members enjoy full access to our 24/7 on-demand support skin concierge team. From questions related to ingredients, lifestyle, or products to add (or subtract) from your routine, the answers are available in the comfort of your home.
