One of the best things to do for your skin as the new year approaches is to stay one step ahead with your skin care routine. By starting now, you won’t have to “undo” any havoc the holidays may have caused. Long after the twinkling lights of the holidays have faded, your glowing complexion will continue to shine brightly.
Are you ready to build up and strengthen your natural skin barrier? Whether you plan to get professional skin treatments for more youthful-looking skin or simply want to stick with a consistent skin care routine, using plant-based EGF skin care products, such as a growth factor serum, is key to science-backed results you can see (more on that later).
Gentle Cleansing That Doesn’t Compromise the Moisture Barrier
If your daily cleansing regimen isn’t as thoughtful as it could be, it may be time to get a more elevated cleanse that not only dissolves makeup and impurities but also helps prevent moisture loss. A non-irritating cleanser that even sensitive skin can use is ideal for all.
You want a gentle cleanser that leaves your skin feeling both deeply clean and hydrated. It’s the twice-daily reset you need to set the rest of your routine up for success. A comfortable cleanse is an important step!
Exfoliate for Brightness (Weekly)
Although exfoliating is a step you probably only need to do once or twice a week after cleansing, it’s essential for keeping your skin looking brighter. Dull, dead skin buildup on the surface can be easily and gently buffed away.
Help refine the surface of your skin with a clarifying exfoliator featuring non-abrasive ingredients, such as micro-crystalline volcanic lava, and hydrating ingredients like sunflower oil and glycerin. The goal isn’t to disrupt the skin barrier but to leave it soft, smooth, and nourished. Your complexion is on its way to a visibly brighter new year.
Restore with Plant-Based EGF Serum
Is plant-based EGF what your routine has been missing for more youthful-looking skin? It could be, especially for those who want to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while improving the look of skin firmness. EGF Epidermal Growth Factor produced from barley is a skin-rejuvenating signaling protein that helps support the skin’s natural production of collagen, which is responsible for firmer, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.
To help address visible signs of aging skin, try a high-performance barley growth factor serum with proven visible results. Give it at least 90 days and do your own “before” and “after.” A clean serum with powerful and pure plant-based EGF can help hydrate, improve the appearance of density, and minimize the look of fine lines and wrinkles.
Find a Face Cream with Excellent Hydration
At this time of year, most people will benefit from a moisturizer that locks in hydration without feeling greasy and smooths the skin’s appearance. After your serum layer, apply a luxurious face cream that protects the skin barrier, which is essential during these dry, cold winter months. It’ll help your skin look more luminous, too.
Depending on your skin's needs, you might use an oil-free, lightweight water cream with antioxidants and hyaluronic acid. But if you aim to tackle more visible signs of aging and have dry skin, you may want to use a richer face cream with barley EGF, niacinamide, and other age-defying ingredients. Maintaining a visibly healthy glow is a good goal for the new year.
Revitalize the Eyes with Targeted Products
To further encourage a rejuvenated appearance, target the delicate under-eye area and focus on reducing the look of dark circles and fine lines. Whether you’re thinking of a concentrated serum or a cutting-edge eye cream, prioritize addressing visible signs of aging with a targeted blend of nourishing ingredients.
Look for an advanced eye cream with active ingredients such as ceramides, peptide-rich barley seed extract, and caffeine for plumper, firmer, and more radiant-looking skin. A cooling eye serum is another way to address the appearance of crow’s feet and visibly depuff the delicate eye contour. Overall, a brighter under-eye appearance makes everyone look better.
Hydrate with Moisture-Rich Hydrogel Masks (Weekly)
High-quality hydrogel masks are great to have on hand whenever your skin needs moisture replenishment. Look for one packed with highly moisturizing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid. A hydrating hydrogel mask can also be placed over a barley EGF growth factor serum to enhance moisture retention and skin nourishment. Parched winter skin will love the benefits of a soothing and cooling hydrogel facial mask at least once a week.
Protect From Daily Exposure
In the winter, it may be easier to reduce the daily amount of UV your skin is exposed to because you’re not outside as much and the days are shorter. Excessive UV light is one of the main factors responsible for premature visible signs of aging in the skin. But that doesn’t mean you should skip the sunscreen. Apply SPF as the last step in your morning routine before heading out for the day. Don’t undermine all the work you’ve done to keep your skin barrier looking visibly healthy by skipping this step.
Morning and Evening Skincare Routine
When you break it all down, here’s a sample of a morning and evening routine that includes plant-based EGF skin care products:
Morning:
- Gentle cleanse
- EGF serum or EGF daytime serum
- Eye treatment with barley EGF
- Face cream, either oil-free or a richer cream for dry skin
- Broad-spectrum SPF
Evening:

The Beauty of a Minimalist Routine with Premium Products
You don’t need a lot of products or steps to craft an effective daily and weekly routine that drives visible results. Instead, spend time looking for products with higher purity, fewer ingredients, and science-driven innovation. The focus is on what works. Epidermal Growth Factor produced in plants boosts hydration levels in the skin, encourages the skin’s natural collagen production, and helps the skin look more youthful and healthy.
Barley EGF and Skin Treatments
Rejuvenation treatments are also popular around the new year, as people want to start the season with a refreshed appearance. Plant-based EGF growth factor skin care products, such as the ones listed above, pair well with professional facial treatments. You can also use barley EGF products that are specifically formulated for use following aesthetic or dermatology treatments to help reduce downtime and enhance their benefits.
The New Year Awaits, So Does Beautiful Skin
As you move into the new year, think of your skin care ritual as an opportunity to get closer to what you desire, whether it’s a smoother texture, more even-looking tone, increased plumpness, or an overall visible glow. In other words, skin rejuvenation isn’t a one-time event. It takes time and consistency to achieve visible results. Resilient skin with a lit-from-within glow is worth it.
