The week between Christmas and New Year's Eve is always a bit special. A lot of people have a day off and everything is a bit quiet. You are still full from all the food from Christmas and you are already baking oliebollen for New Year's Eve. There is also a lot of thinking going on during these days. Events from the past year regularly flash through your thoughts. With a laugh and a tear you look back on all the special moments. The Bakr&Berg team has faced challenges, but there were also successes, because the first products have been launched and our retinol cream and hydrating hand cream were received with great enthusiasm! In short, enough moments to reflect on, but let's not forget to look ahead!
2023 let's go!
A new year means many new opportunities. Will this be the year that you:
- Going to chase your dreams?
- Are you going to tackle your lifestyle?
- What would you rather do for yourself?
- Want to spend more time with your loved one?
- Want to get fitter?
- Do you want to focus more and especially better on skin care?
We could go on like this for a while, because everyone has his or her own priorities and wishes.
It takes a lot of perseverance to make your resolutions actually work. Did you know that 25% of good intentions are thrown overboard during the first 2 weeks? Ultimately, only 10% of people stick to their good intentions. Not very encouraging when you read this, but persistence pays off!
To help you out a little, here are 5 tips to make your New Year's resolutions a success:
- Don't aim too high. The intentions must be realistic and achievable.
- Tell someone about your New Year's resolutions (but don't shout it from the rooftops). This can be a good incentive.
- Write down your intentions and describe what you need to do to achieve them.
- Step by step. Set some goals in mind, but don't try to do everything at once. For example, start by snacking less in the evening and schedule that first yoga class 2 weeks later.
- Don't be too hard on yourself. If you can't do it right now, no problem, tomorrow is another day!
Resolution number 1: Better skincare
At Bakr&Berg we hope that one of your good intentions is to improve the condition of your skin. This does not only mean removing your make-up every night. Therefore, some tips to start the kick off of 2023 with a healthy skin.
- Keep it clean! Cleanse your skin thoroughly twice a day (morning and evening). Use the right products for this and especially no cleansing cloth. Start with a good lotion to remove the make-up (residue), then wash your face with a cleanser and finish with a splash of cold water in your face. Dry your face well with a clean towel and you are ready for the day or for a wonderful night's sleep.
- Use the right products! Choose care products that match your skin type. Dive into the ingredients list and choose the product that suits your needs. Our retinol cream is suitable for all skin types, so here's a big fat tip ;-).
- Live a healthy lifestyle! Good nutrition and a healthy lifestyle also contribute to healthy skin.
- Smile! Stress is very bad for the condition of the skin. Many people get acne during stressful periods and poor sleep - which is often the result of stress - does the skin little good either. Let it go and smile! Then you are at your most beautiful!
And now it's time to close out the year and put the champagne on ice. Stay tuned, because 2023 is full of crazy product launches.
Enjoy New Year's Eve & don't forget to sparkle and shine!
Love,
Bakr&Berg
