Swap This For That: Beauty Habits to Take up for 2025

Swap This For That: Beauty Habits to Take up for 2025

With January well and truly here, now is the perfect time to adopt some healthy habits for the New Year by swapping certain products and lifestyle choices that will benefit you in the long term. We have compiled a list of some easy beauty ‘swap this for that’ tips to take up for the New Year!

Swap…heavy foundation for a serum foundation:

Give the skin a breather by swapping your foundation, for a serum foundation. Try our Serum Foundation, an expertly crafted formula that harnesses the power of skincare ingredients to enhance natural beauty. Infused with Vitamin C for a radiant glow, natural prebiotics to support skin microbiota, soothing Swiss Mallow and hydrating natural glycerin, this foundation nourishes the skin while providing buildable coverage and an ultra-natural semi-matte finish. The Serum Foundation has an ultra-clean formula that is free from oils, fragrance, parabens, D5/D6, phenoxyethanol and glitters, ensuring a gentle and nourishing experience for all skin types.

One of the standout features of the Serum Foundation is its fusion shades, carefully developed to match a diverse range of skin tones. The foundations buildable coverage and natural finish caters to individual preferences, providing a seamless application every time.

Available at pharmacies nationwide, RRP: £26.00

Swap…false nails for healthy natural nails

False nails are out, and natural healthy nails are in for 2025! Swapping unhealthy, damaged nails for your own healthy natural nails is a much bigger flex and we have the prefect products to start the 2025 nail care journey. To begin, we recommend these three core nail care products for strong natural nails.

  1. Scientifique K+

Keratin is a fundamental protein that makes up hair and nails, contributing significantly to making them strong. Incorporating keratin protein into the nail care regimen can greatly enhance the health of damaged nails. This addition offers vital nutrients that reinforce the nails and prevent breakage, making it particularly beneficial for addressing issues like weakness, brittleness, flakiness, or the softness and fragility resulting from acrylic or gel extensions.

Our first ever product Scientifique K+ contains keratin and works to harden nail tips and prevents flaking. With added natural crystal resin tears from the pistachio tree, it helps improve the cohesion of the keratin fibres and makes nails more resistant to breaking.

2. Mavala Cuticle Oil

Damaged cuticles give a neglected appearance to nails. Our Cuticle Oil maintains the suppleness of the cuticles and softens the skin around the nail enabling it to be rolled gently back. Soften and beautify cuticles with our Cuticle Oil, this daily cuticle treatment provides a well-groomed contour to the nails to keep them healthy.

Cuticle Oil, RRP: £16, available from Lookfantastic.com

3. Mava Strong Mavala Mava-Strong Fortifying & Protective Base Coat

Protect and strengthen weak, brittle nails with the Mavala Mavastrong Fortifying & Protective Base Coat, a fortifying and protective formula that can be used alone or as a base for a strong, healthy manicure. The dual-action base coat utilises micro-encapsulated ingredients and Crystal Resin to promote a thicker, more resilient nail plate that is less vulnerable to breaking and thinning. Soft, weakened nails feel stronger and healthier.

Swap…mascara for an overnight lash serum  

This year is all about being low maintenance but looking good doing so, so why not swap mascara for naturally long lashes instead? Using our Double Lash serum every night will help gradually grow the natural lashes and users wont even need to use mascara again!

Much like how a conditioner works for the hair, our award-winning eyelash conditioner Double Lash is a unique and nutritive overnight treatment that revitalises and repairs lashes. Containing a natural extract rich in vitamins, it strengthens lashes from root to tip, extending their usual 28 cycle to 36 days, meaning the added growth of new lashes makes them appear thicker and fuller.

Specifically designed to shield eyelashes from environmental elements including removal of eye makeup and pollution, Double Lash serum helps to prevent further breakage and strengthens lashes. No wonder this serum has become a bestseller and beauty must-have since 1967!

RRP: £19.50 for 10ml available from Lookfantastic.com
