The new year always has me in full reset mode, and for 2026, my focus is simple: glowy, radiant skin that looks and feels healthy before makeup even enters the equation. Winter leaves my complexion dry, dull, and begging for some extra TLC, so refreshing my skincare for the colder season felt more like a necessary reset than a New Year's resolution. My priority is finding a routine that feels intentional, elevated, and genuinely effective—because after all, you only get one face, and it deserves to be treated like the investment it is.
With that in mind, I turned straight to Bloomingdale's to rethink my skincare lineup since my routine was starting to feel predictable and wasn't giving me the glow I was looking for. I was immediately met with an array of intriguing new launches and luxe staples I'd been curious about, each backed by thoughtfully developed, high-performance formulas. And let's just say the first impressions are phenomenal. Ahead, you'll see the high-end skincare finds that have brought a new energy to my routine and are setting the tone for a year full of glowy, healthy skin.
Serums and Essences
After cleansing my skin, the next step I take is applying a serum or essence to lock in moisture and set the foundation for a lasting glowy complexion. These lightweight formulas deliver targeted ingredients that focus on hydration, balance, and long-term radiance.
Face Creams
After applying my serums, I move on to face cream, a step that feels especially important this time of year, when my skin is craving extra moisture. In winter, I gravitate toward richer formulas, and these luxe creams deliver deep hydration while sealing in all the amazing ingredients I applied prior.
Night Creams
A newer step in my routine is a dedicated night cream. These formulas tend to be richer than your average daytime cream and work overnight to deeply nourish the skin so you wake up looking extra fresh and luminous.
SPF
No matter the season, the most important step in any skincare regimen is a good SPF. You can invest in as many serums and moisturizers as you want, but nothing supports long-term skin health quite like consistent sun protection.
Bodycare
Skincare doesn't stop at the face. These bodycare finds bring the same glow-focused approach to the rest of your routine, keeping your skin looking healthy and well cared for from head to toe.
