As 2024 winds down and the holiday whirlwind settles, it’s prime time to focus on what truly matters - you! Reset your intentions, refresh your routines, and make 2025 all about investing in yourself with self-care that goes deeper than skin deep.
1. Period Care = Self-Care
Instead of seeing periods as something to “deal with,” embrace products that make the experience comfy, sustainable, and stylish. First up? Scarlet’s Period Undies, Period Cups, and rae, our sleek, rechargeable heat device. It’s small enough to tuck into your waistband, powerful enough to soothe, and cute enough to feel like an accessory.
2. Switch Up Your Workout
2025 calls for shaking things up. Ditch the same old gym grind and try something new - how about hot Pilates? This workout is all the rage for a reason: it combines core-strengthening moves with a heated room, giving you a killer full-body burn while detoxifying and improving flexibility.
3. Streamline Your Skincare
We love a good skincare routine, but let’s be honest - less can be more. If you’re guilty of layering on 10 different serums every night, it’s time to simplify and focus on what actually works for your skin. Spoiler alert: most products only absorb so much, so piling them on doesn’t necessarily mean more effectiveness. Too many ingredients can clash, leading to irritation or cancelling each other out. Insider tip: subscribe to the Gloss.etc newsletter - it has all the inside info you need, sent weekly.
4. Eat Smart, Not Trendy
TikTok is ace for viral dances, but when it comes to health trends? Be wary. Fad diets are a dime a dozen, but if you want to feel good, aim for balance. Think whole foods, loads of veggies, and fewer ultra-processed snacks. Don’t fall for the pseudoscience; what works is often straightforward.
5. Cut Screen Time, Boost ‘You’ Time
Let’s face it - we spend way too much time glued to our screens, and it’s not doing us any favours. Make 2025 the year of you by swapping mindless scrolling for mindful moments. Whether it’s journaling, curling up with a good book, or indulging in a bubble bath (Scarlet’s Soothing Suds, anyone?), take time to disconnect and be present.
6. Sunscreen: Your All-Year Must-Have
We’ve heard it since day one, but many still don’t apply sunscreen right. Here’s your 2025 reminder: sunscreen is non-negotiable. From cloudy days to sunny ones, protect your skin from harmful UV rays that sneak through windows and even clothes (that white tee? It only gives you an SPF of 3).
7. Check Your Health
Kick off the year with a clean slate—literally. Booking those health checks you’ve been putting off is one of the best investments you can make. From full blood panels to pap smears and breast exams, staying on top of your health is the ultimate self-care move. Prevention is always better than cure; scheduling these appointments is one resolution you won’t regret.
