Tired of conventional New Year's resolutions? If overcrowded gyms and detox cleanses aren't calling your name, choose beauty resolutions instead.

Beauty resolutions are a way to focus on self-care and confidence-building in 2024.

And yes, self-care includes your beauty routine! How you care for your appearance can greatly impact how good you feel—both physically and mentally.

Enhancing hair and skin health are 2 of the top ways to focus on self-care.

Whether your beauty resolution is to have softer hair or clearer skin, you'll be prioritizing yourself—which is wonderful.

Struggling to get in the right mindset?:

A "New Year New Me" mentality will help you focus on caring for yourself.

You are important, and you are worthy.

Ready to begin your self-care journey? The following tips and Blissy products are integral to making 2024 a transformative year for both your beauty and well-being.

Quality Sleep and Beauty

If you want to fulfill your beauty resolutions, you must get exceptional beauty rest on a regular basis.

Getting quality sleep is vital to your well-being and your skin and hair health.

The average adult needs at least 7 hours of sound sleep each night. And women require even more sleep per night than men—about 11 minutes additional.

Poor sleep can lead to sleep deprivation. This can negatively impact numerous body systems, such as your heart and circulatory, nervous, and immune systems. You might feel fatigued, moody, and have trouble concentrating when you're sleep-deprived.

Aside from how you'll feel, consistently poor sleep will also make a visual difference in your hair and skin.

A study by the British Association of Dermatologists concluded that chronic bad sleep is associated with:

increased signs of aging, reduced skin barrier function, and lower satisfaction with appearance

Even just 1 night of poor sleep can lead to dark circles, red or swollen eyes, drooping features, paler skin, and wrinkles around the mouth.

As for hair—inadequate sleep stresses the body, leading to increased cortisol production. This in turn creates more sebaceous oil on the scalp, resulting in greasy hair.

Excessive stress from a lack of sleep can even lead to hair loss

Surprising benefits of great sleep

We've gone over how poor sleep is a detriment to your well-being and your beauty resolutions.

Here are a few ways how quality sleep will help:

• Reduced fine lines and wrinkles (better sleep = improved skin elasticity)

• Improved complexion

• Stronger, healthier hair

There's a reason it's called "beauty sleep". So, practice self-care and catch some z's!

Improve Your Sleep and Beauty Routine with Blissy

Embrace the "New Year New Me" mentality with us!

Sleeping on a Blissy Pillowcase is a proven way to improve sleep and achieve your beauty resolution.

Our elegant pillowcases are crafted from the highest quality mulberry silk. They are ultra-soft and comfortable, which promotes a soothing sleep environment.

Blissy Pillowcases naturally help regulate temperature, as silk is moisture-wicking and cooling.

Hot sleepers—you'll no longer wake up sweaty in the middle of the night:

Fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer when you sleep on silk!

Our silk pillowcases will also help better your skin and hair health.

When you sleep on a Blissy Pillowcase, your hair will be glossier and shinier than ever. Our silk is nearly friction-free, leading to less frizz, fewer tangles, and less breakage.

Blissy Pillowcases are hypoallergenic and hydrating. They're an ideal choice for those with dry hair or dry skin, sensitive skin, acne, and other skin conditions.

If nighttime and early-morning allergies are impacting your sleep, our pillowcases can help! In addition to being hypoallergenic, they also repel bugs (like dust mites) and bacteria.

Blissy Silk Pillowcases are superior to satin ones

There is quite a difference between silk and satin pillowcases.

Although they're marketed similarly, satin pillowcases are not the same:

The term "satin" actually only refers to the fabric weave, while "silk" refers to the fabric material.

Silk pillowcases are more durable and have superior beauty and wellness benefits.

Satin pillowcases are often made from materials subpar to silk. This includes plastic-based fabrics that are not eco-friendly or free from harmful substances.

Satin pillowcases are cheaper, but the associated negative qualities aren't worth "the savings."

Invest in your self-care and well-being with an OEKO-TEX Certified, pure mulberry silk Blissy Pillowcase.

Other healthy habits for sleep

Sleep will help you achieve your beauty resolutions!

So, here are a few more tips to help you get better sleep in 2024:

• Turn off electronics at least 1 hour before bedtime. Blue light from phones, TVs, and other devices can make it harder to fall asleep.

• Wind down each night before bed. Have a warm cup of tea, take a bath, or cuddle up with a good book.

• Stick to a regular sleep schedule.

• Create a calming sleep environment. Keep your bedroom cool, quiet, and dark.

Another way to help reduce stress, which leads to better sleep:

Practice self-love

Working on your beauty resolutions can help promote self-love and self-confidence. Another way is to express yourself!

For example, try out a new and creative manicure design. Celebrity nail artist Alicia Torello offers great inspo for all things nails. Her minimalist yet elegant artwork is perfect for recreating at home or the salon.

Hair Goals for 2024

Next up on your "New Year New Me" beauty resolutions—let's talk hair!

Reduce breakage, frizz, and dryness

If this is your beauty resolution, then you've come to the right place.

These common hair problems share many causes:

Stress. Dryness. Non-silk hair ties. Rough bedding and accessories. Over-brushing. Over-processing. Tight styles. Towel-drying hair. And, heat styling.

Ready to achieve amazing hair this year?

Here's what you can do:

• Sleep on a Blissy Pillowcase

• Wear Blissy silk hair accessories

• Apply a serum or spray before styling with hot tools

• Moisturize your hair. Invest in a high-quality hair mask and leave-in conditioners. Hydration is key!

• Wash hair less frequently to avoid stripping your hair of its natural oils. Once or twice a week is ideal.

• Get regular trims

• Consume proper nutrients in your diet, including protein, biotin, and iron

Skin Goals for 2024

Now that we've addressed hair, let's talk about your "New Year New Me" skin care routine!

We'll discuss how to combat common skin concerns, like acne, dryness, and aging.

Treat acne

Acne can be caused by hormones, excess sebum (an oily substance), dead skin cells, or even your diet.

To diminish acne and maintain a more even skin tone, stick to the following 7 dermatologist-recommended steps:

1. Wash daily with a gentle cleanser.
2. Remove dead skin cells. Gentle exfoliation is key to avoiding clogged pores.
3. Use toner
4. Incorporate acne-fighting ingredients, such as benzoyl peroxide or adapalene. Speak to a dermatologist to decide what's best for your skincare routine.
5. Apply moisturizer, choosing a lightweight one.
6. Wear a noncomedogenic, daily SPF. Many products that treat acne make your skin extra sensitive to sun exposure. Sun protection via SPF will also reduce your risk of skin cancer.
7. Sleep on Blissy Silk Pillowcase. It will help you achieve clear, glowing skin!

Looking for a way to conceal acne while pursuing your beauty resolution? Celebrity makeup artist Mickey Contractor has fantastic advice!

"Make sure to clean your makeup brushes often! Once per week is ideal. The cleaner the better to avoid breakouts."

Minimize wrinkles and fine lines

Wrinkles are a natural part of aging—but there are easy ways to combat them.

Follow these tips to postpone the appearance of fine lines and reduce their severity:

• Apply SPF daily and limit sun exposure

• Avoid products with harsh ingredients, such as fragrances. Instead, opt for moisturizers with ceramides and AHAs.

• Get quality rest. Sleep on an anti-aging Blissy Pillowcase to get great sleep while helping smooth skin.

• Avoid sugar and refined carbs, which promote an inflammatory response

• Eat healthy fats, such as those from nuts, avocado, and olive oil

• Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated

Combat dryness

Dryness is not just irritating to the skin. It can also lead to redness, scaling, flaking, and increased wrinkles.

To keep dry skin at bay, wash your face daily with a gentle soap. Avoid any skincare products with fragrances.

Acne-fighting ingredients are also known to dry out skin, so try to only use them in moderation.

Make sure to incorporate a daily lotion and SPF in your skincare routine. Look for one that contains hydrating ingredients like ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and squalane.

Is your body dry, too? Shea butter is excellent to use on extra dry parts of the body, such as elbows and knees. You can even treat chapped lips!
