This year, start fresh routines which nurture your body and mind. A simple routine includes three steps to nourish and protect your face daily.

The first step is to wash your face with a cleanser rather than just water. A foam cleanser can be used for combination to oily skin types and a cream wash for dry skin. Second, use a face scrub once a week to exfoliate your skin, clear your pores and leave it looking brighter.

Finally, make sure to moisturise after these steps to ensure your skin is soft, healthy and protected. Choosing a moisturiser with SPF 30+ can help protect your skin from sun damage. An additional step is to get a facial treatment once every month to help remove excess oil, clear pores and hydrate your skin.

Another routine you should choose is to take care of your body by following these few important steps. First, at least 2.5 hours of moderate physical exercise per week is recommended by the Australian Department of Health which can be obtained by activities such as a light jog or a swim daily.

Second, supplying your body with healthy nutritious food including fruits and vegetables can help nourish your body and keep you feeling energetic. In addition, drink plenty of water throughout the day which can help improve your skin and hydrate your body.

Finally, a good night sleep of approximately 8 hours is recommended to help you to repair and function. This year, make sure to take care of yourself. Gift yourself or a friend with a Spa.com.au gift card and start the new year fresh and committed.
