If you read my column regularly, you know I cover the latest and greatest beauty products. This week, I decided to cover something different…and a little more personal (although it’s me, so there will still be a product mention or two).

Today I put together a list of my “beauty goals” for the 2016 year. As a beauty product addict, it’s natural that beauty would feature in my resolution list. These are just a few of my many goals for the year, and I thought it would be fun to share them.

Below are the three beauty-related resolutions I’m committing to in 2016. Read on to learn what they are!

1. Get healthier, more hydrated skin.

I struggle with drinking the proper amount of water per day, which can be easily calculated based on body weight. The rule of thumb is half an ounce to an ounce for every pound, so if you’re 150 pounds, you should drink anywhere from 75-150 ounces.

My personal goal with this is to keep a gallon of water in my apartment and set a reminder on my phone to drink it throughout the day.

For more help drinking more water, see our guide to getting organized this semester, which features a fun and adorable water reminder app that turns hydration into a game.

Along with drinking water comes healthier, more hydrated skin. However, water alone won’t keep your skin soft in winter – using a good moisturizer is also super important. A product I am loving right now is Neutrogena Water Gel, above. It has hyaluronic acid in it which keeps skin supple and hydrated all day long! Give it a try if you’re looking for a good fix for dry winter skin. 

If you get dry body skin during the winter months, you can’t get more indulgent than Jaqua’s body butters. In dessert-like scents like Coconut Buttercream Frosting, they’re an obvious fave here at CF. Yes, they are a pricey but a little goes a long way. If you love foodie-type scents, they’re a must-try.
