Ultraceuticals: 5 Skincare Resolutions To Take Into 2026

Ultraceuticals Expert Advocate and multi-award-winning facialist, Corinna Tolan shares five skincare resolutions to adopt now.

As conversations around wellbeing become more considered and less trend-driven, skincare is following suit. Rather than chasing quick fixes or the latest viral product, more people are turning their attention to skin resilience – strengthening the skin barrier, supporting long-term health, and choosing routines that actually work with the skin, not against it.

A long-time champion of this conversation is Ultraceuticals. The iconic Aussie skincare brand, known for its clinical formulations and results-driven philosophy, works closely with trained skin professionals to prioritise skin health over short-term cosmetic gains.

Here, Corinna Tolan, Ultraceuticals Expert Advocate and multi-award-winning facialist, shares five skincare resolutions to adopt now – practical habits that support healthier skin well beyond January.

  1. Keep It Simple and Consistent

One of the biggest mistakes I see is overcomplicating skincare. A great routine can be as simple as three steps: cleanse, treat and moisturise or protect. These steps apply in the morning or the evening.

I always recommend starting with a gentle cleanser suited to your skin type. Next comes the treatment step. This is where you use a serum or targeted product to address specific concerns, such as sensitivity, dullness, dehydration, or signs of ageing.

Finally, moisturise to hydrate and support the skin barrier. In the morning, this means finishing with SPF. In the evening, I suggest a nourishing night cream to support the skin’s natural repair process while you sleep like Ultraceuticals Ultra DNA³ Complex Recovery Night Cream (RRP €96.00).

  1. Treat Your Body Skin Like Your Face

Skincare often stops at the jawline, but the skin on the body is just as prone to dryness, texture and premature ageing. Your arms, chest and legs are exposed to the same environmental stressors as your face, including UV damage and dehydration. They deserve the same level of care.

Using targeted body products, such as Ultra Body Retexturising Complex (RRP €89.00), can help improve skin texture and hydration while supporting overall skin health from the neck down.

  1. Make Daily SPF Non-Negotiable

Daily sun protection is the most crucial step in any skincare routine. Sun exposure is the leading cause of external skin ageing and a major risk factor in skin cancer, which is why SPF should be worn every day, all year round – even when it’s cloudy.

How and when you apply SPF matters. I recommend around two finger lengths of sunscreen for the face and neck and reapply every two hours at a minimum to ensure adequate protection.

I advise choosing a broad-spectrum SPF with added hydration, such as Ultra UV Protective Daily Moisturiser SPF 50 Hydrating (RRP €57.00), to support the skin barrier while delivering high-level UV protection.

  1. Work With a Professional

Throwing more products at a skin concern rarely fixes it. In fact, it often makes things worse. Most skin concerns need proper diagnosis, not guesswork. When clients work with a trained professional, we can identify the root cause of an issue rather than masking symptoms.

Ultraceuticals works with partner clinics and salons across Ireland to deliver professional treatments tailored to individual skin needs. These treatments are designed to work in synergy with homecare routines, helping you achieve more consistent and predictable results.

  1. Support Your Skin From the Inside Out

Hydration plays a vital role in skin function, elasticity and repair. Topical skincare can only do so much if the body is dehydrated. Drinking enough water supports circulation, cellular function and overall skin vitality.

Making hydration a daily habit is one of the simplest – and most overlooked – ways to support resilient, healthy skin.
