As the calendar flips to a new year, many of us reflect on ways to refresh and reset—not just our routines, but ourselves. Amid resolutions for fitness, organization, and mindfulness, why not consider a fresh start for your skin? Dr. Corbett, a trusted voice in dermatology, offers insights on how to make 2025 the year of radiant, healthy skin.
One of the best ways to rejuvenate your skin is by integrating retinol into your routine. Retinol, a derivative of vitamin A, is celebrated for its ability to reduce fine lines, even skin tone, and improve texture by stimulating collagen production. However, it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution. Dr. Corbett emphasizes the importance of starting gradually. “Retinol is powerful,” she explains, “but it needs to be introduced thoughtfully. Start with a lower concentration two to three times a week and increase usage as your skin builds tolerance.”
For those new to retinol or unsure about their skincare needs, the new year is the perfect time to reassess. “Everyone’s skin is unique. What works for one person may not work for another,” Dr. Corbett advises. By consulting a professional, you can craft a personalized plan designed to target your specific concerns—whether it’s aging, acne, or simply maintaining healthy skin.
In addition to retinol, Dr. Corbett reminds us that simple, everyday habits can have a big impact on skin health. Adequate hydration, wearing SPF year-round, and maintaining a consistent cleansing routine are foundational steps toward achieving your goals. She also highlights the importance of diet: “What you eat reflects in your skin. Incorporating antioxidant-rich foods like berries, leafy greens, and nuts can support a radiant complexion.”
The new year is an opportunity to embrace progress, not perfection. By taking small, thoughtful steps, you can achieve healthy, glowing skin that lasts all year. Dr. Corbett encourages us to view skincare not as a luxury, but as self care. “Your skin is your body’s largest organ. Treating it well is an investment in your overall health.” For personalized guidance, call our office or go to baldwingyn.repeatmd.com to learn more about our products and services.
