Let the first one without sin cast the first stone. Intentionally or unintentionally, perhaps in haste... you may have fallen into one of these mistakes, and 2025 is the best opportunity to start new beauty resolutions.
Did you try to improve your skincare this year, or did you neglect it? The beginning of the year is perfect for identifying and correcting cosmetic mistakes. To do so, we consulted Daniel Jiménez, cosmetologist, technical director of Skin Generics, and CEO of BeLab Services , who will help us start 2025 with healthier skin.
Say goodbye to skin cycling
Skin cycling, which alternates the use of retinol or exfoliants, goes against the recommendations of experts like Daniel Jiménez. Cosmetics are designed for daily use, with some exceptions. This practice can stress your skin and delay results . Once your skin adjusts, it's best to apply retinol daily to reap its ongoing benefits.
Wash your pillowcase more often
Although sheets in Spain are changed every one or two weeks, to take care of your skin, the ideal is to do it every three days, especially with your pillowcase. Expert Daniel Jiménez warns that the accumulation of bacteria and dirt can affect the skin overnight . He also recommends double cleansing before bed to maintain hygiene for both your skin and its surroundings.
Less skin flooding
Skin flooding, a trend that seeks to "flood" the skin with layers of hydration to achieve a dewy, glowing finish, has its limits. According to expert Daniel Jiménez, although hydration is essential, the skin only absorbs what it needs . Excess can waste product and even cause blemishes. So, in 2025, don't err on the side of too little or too much; you'll find balance somewhere in between.
