1/10
Do not pop your zits
Our first beauty commandment is for you to stop popping your zits. Yes, we know that is tempting but we don't want you to spend the New Year nursing scars.
2/10
Apply sunscreen
Let's start the first day of 2016 on a good note by applying sunscreen every single day. Your skin will thank you for this later. Goodbye age spots.
3/10
Change your pillowcase regularly
To prevent unexpected breakouts, change your pillowcases regularly.
4/10
Do not sleep with makeup
As tempting as it is to just fall asleep once you're back, make it a point to wash all of your makeup off before sleeping.
5/10
Drink enough water
Water can do wonders for the skin and if there's one beauty commandment you would like to pick up in the coming year, make it drinking at least 2 litres of water a day.
6/10
Get a haircut regularly
Treat yourself to a trim every 6 months to ensure that your hair remains healthy.
7/10
Have product conviction
If a product works for you in 2016, stick by it. Most products take time to work their magic and you need to stand by it to see the results. If that eye cream is helping to curb those panda eyes, apply it regularly.
8/10
Leave your brows alone
2016 is all about embracing your natural brows. Grow them out. If you require a little trim, visit a brow specialist for that.
9/10
Double cleanse
To enjoy the benefits of healthy skin in the coming year, we recommend double cleansing to remove all traces of makeup. Its benefits are plentiful and you'll notice the difference soon after.
10/10
Replace expired makeup
That red lipstick may look pretty but if it's expired, it is time to toss it and get a new one. You never want to apply expired makeup.

It’s time to start the year on a good note with these steps – you can thank yourself later.

There are no laws when it comes to beauty. What may work for one person may not necessarily work for the other. However with that being said, there are a few guidelines that everyone should try to follow when it comes to maintaining good skin.

2016 is just about to knock on our doors and if you’re looking to adopt a brand new beauty mantra, we have 10 simple beauty commandments for you to live by.

For starters, do not underestimate the power of exfoliating regularly. In addition to your cleansing and moisturizing routine, using a suitable exfoliator can help to not only get rid of dead skin but prevent future breakouts. We would recommend using a gentle exfoliator twice a week.
