"Do the work while you're young to prevent more aggressive treatments when you're older. If you're 28+ and you want to invest in your face and skin care regimen without doing invasive treatments down the line, start the Skin Pen medical microneedling treatment one to four times a year. It's the first FDA-approved such device in the U.S. It's extremely precise and refines pores, softens fine lines and wrinkle while stimulating collagen." A good nighttime care regimen is also critical to your skin care long game, so invest in a regimen like the Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Powerful Nighttime Renewal Set, $72.

"I would love to see people focus on lip skin care first, not troubleshooting after the fact with loads of color or ineffective balms that claim to moisturize but actually do the opposite. Exfoliated, hydrated skin is the key to that 'lit from within' look we all want, and lips play a big role. If your lips are properly exfoliated and hydrated day and night, you will glow. Many New Year's resolutions are about fixing what's broken, but I say embrace a good skin care routine for your lips to give yourself a perfect foundation to start with." Sara's namesake lip scrub is an editor mainstay for lip exfoliation, but Sara Happ The Lip Slip Balm, $24, seals the deal for lips so hydrated and soft, you'd think they belonged to someone else.

"People go through life in a daze of habit, so it's important to shake it up sometimes. Use the clean slate of 2019 to examine your habits: where are you neglecting your skin, and what that will mean down the road? Also, it's a great time to think about how the products you use affect our environment: lots of people who want to be 'green' switch from regular to organic or compostable options without realizing they all create tons of pollution. Organic or not, almost all go to sealed landfills after they're used.

Create a vivid mental image of the future you're creating and try to see how all your small actions add up. If you do it right, examining your habits is more interesting than a typical New Year's goal — there's no guilt, just exploration and imagination — and a good ploy to trick you into making bigger, more lasting changes." McIntosh's Take My Face Off The Makeup Mitty Single-Pack Ultra-Gentle Reusable Makeup Remover, $14, practices what she preaches: they work for years and years and are extremely effective, which means you'll be doing something good for your skin and the planet.

"I hope everyone makes the resolution to finally get the beautiful, shiny, healthy hair of their dreams. Most people don't pay too much attention to taking care of their hair and are rough with their hair or neglect it, then wonder why it feels frizzy, dull and/or flat. Just making simple lifestyle recommendations can help you avoid dull hair that hasn't reached its potential!

I suggest swapping out your regular cotton pillowcases for a silk pillowcase, like our The Hollywood Silk Solution Silk Pillowcase, $45. They prevent moisture from being absorbed and reduce friction, which means hair stays hydrated and smooth without the frizz of a regular pillowcase — which is so important if you have curls! No bedhead, no sleep creases on your face and better skin and hair all year!"

"One resolution I encourage people to embrace in 2019 is to distance ourselves from aggressive, harsh cleansing products and the over-cleansing habits we've grown so accustomed to. This is a behavioral change, a mental shift away from the 'germ theory' many of us were raised with where we believed we had to eradicate all dirt and germs in order to be healthy.

The truth is, radiant, healthy skin is not sterile skin and shiny, healthy hair is not over-cleansed, stripped, oil-free hair. One product I'm loving is the Aquis Prime Rebalancing Hair Wash, $26. Optimal hair health means we have to replace harsh cleansers with gentle, clean products formulated to cleanse without damaging the cuticle. This wash, which is part of the four-part Aquis Prime Hair Care System, is extremely gentle and specifically formulated to help to maintain your hair's healthy moisture (including natural oils) and to maintain the strength and integrity of your hair's cuticle as well as the pH of your hair and scalp which, if it's off, can lead to hair breakage and damage. I especially love that the system is one of only 10 haircare brands to be certified clean by Sephora. It's one of my favorite products because it embraces the same theory I apply to my skin care recommendations — but for your hair!"
