30 Sephora Products to Help Even Non-Beauty-Related Resolutions Stay on Track

Resolution: I will be more active.

If your 2020 resolution involves fitness, be it working out more or signing up for a race, chances are you can expect some sore muscles once you get started. Even if it's not specifically something you're striving for in 2020, treating your body well after you hit the gym just feels great.

For example, this Indie Lee I-Recover Mind and Body Gel ($48) offers a warming-cooling sensation when rubbed on your muscles and joints after (or before) you workout, thanks to the eucalyptus and menthol inside.

Or, massage this Ren Clean Skincare Atlantic Kelp and Magnesium Salt Anti-Fatigue Exfoliating Body Scrub ($49) onto your dry skin (which helps with circulation to relieve muscle fatigue). Then get into a warm bath — as ingredients like Atlantic kelp extract and micro-algae oil melt away, you're left in a soothing magnesium soak.

And, much like the magic it does with high heels, the Lord Jones High CBD Formula Body Oil 100mg ($65) with antioxidant vitamin E can be tucked into a gym bag to soothe any sore spots on your body post-workout, too.

Resolution: I will avoid a chaotic morning scramble.

Investing in more powerful beauty tools can get you out the door faster in the morning — and lead to less stress as well. This lightweight Bio Ionic 10X Ultralight Speed Dryer ($295) has been praised by other Sephora shoppers for cutting down drying time significantly, with many reporting total times of less than 10 minutes.

Add to that cut-down morning routine by picking up the Aquis Lisse Luxe Hair Towel ($30) or Waffle Luxe Long Hair Towel ($45), which can cut drying time by 50 percent, which helps you stay on time — and makes sure you're not leaving with a wet head. (Oh, it also improves your hair's overall health, leading to less frizz and breakage.)

Or, if the reason you're not actually blow-drying your hair is that your arms get sore just thinking about it, this Drybar The Double Shot Blow-Dryer Brush ($150) is a barrel brush and dryer in one, making it now easier than ever to take your hair from sopping to sleek in less time, and with less fatigue.

Resolution: I will make time to take care of me.

While we've offered self-care suggestions and advice from therapists on how to manage mental health, setting up a time to use masks is not only a way to treat yourself, it's also a way to treat your skin well at the same time.

Now actually finding the time to use a mask (or other exfoliating treatment) once a week, starts with getting into a routine, which is easier to do if you start habit stacking.

For example, say you never missed an episode of Succession on Sundays at 9 p.m. (or you're planning for another favorite series' return or the start of a new one), add your new self-care routine >on top of that existing habit because you've already taken the time to establish your weekly TV date.

Put on masks like the Origins Clear Improvement Charcoal Honey Mask to Purify and Nourish ($34), an option from this Peter Thomas Roth Mix, Mask and Hydrate set ($60, originally $75), or one from the Glamglow Bubblesheet Deep Cleanse Sheet Mask Set ($30) right before the episode starts, and use a commercial break to rinse, wipe, or peel it off. Before you know it, you've made it your new normal in 2020.

Resolution: I will be more organized.

If one of your goals this year is to make your home a little more organized, take that into your bathroom with one of these organizers from Sephora. If you really love makeup, there's this larger Sephora Collection Makeup Organizer ($36) with slots and drawers for all sorts of goodies. Not only will it leave your beauty stash more sorted, it can also add speed to your morning routine, as there's naturally less searching involved when everything has a proper place.

If you don't need something quite that big, there are also smaller options with the Clear 3-Drawer Makeup Organizer ($22) or the Clear 1-Drawer Makeup Organizer ($22) to get other beauty products tucked neatly away.

Or, if you also have a travel-more resolution this year, there's the Sephora Collection Pack It All Organizer case ($45) to help you be more organized on vacation, too.

Resolution: I will spend less money on things I can do myself.

If you're setting out to save money in 2020, one way to cut back is to stop paying other people for services you can do yourself . . . and learn how to do them. (And that fits right into a learn-something-new resolution, too.) Say you have a standing manicure-pedicure appointment, why not consider trying your hand at it (pun intended) at home?

It all starts with good cuticle care, like with this Deborah Lippmann Cuticle Lab - Nail Treatment Set ($45) that comes with a professional step-by-step guide, or just the Cuticle Remover - Exfoliating Cuticle Nail Treatment ($20) if you're already a pro.

Of course, it's also important to have the proper tools to cut and buff your nails — like this Sephora Collection Tough As Nails Deluxe Manicure Kit ($20) — and, you'll never wonder how many people they've been used on before either.

Finish up the salon-like experience with the Dr. Jart+ Dermask Hand Hydrating Mask ($12). They're foil gloves that feature warming technology and a moisturizing essence to soften dry, rough skin in 20 minutes.

Now, the only thing left to do is to pick out your polish colors.

Resolution: I will commit to a regular skincare routine (even if I'm tired).

Sometimes there's a difference between what we know we should do . . . and what we actually do. If you're trying to be better about having a consistent nighttime routine — including taking off your makeup every single night — then getting products that quickly and easily make that happen may be just what you need to get you over the edge from "most nights" to "all nights."

Take this IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Makeup Cleansing Balm ($15-$38). It's actually a three-in-one cleanser, purifying makeup remover, and anti-aging serum. Now on those nights when you're not sure you can go through a full process with several products, you can cover three important bases with just this one.

If your bigger concern (for now) is just always taking off your makeup, sweeping one of these Sephora Collection Cleansing and Exfoliating Wipes ($3-$8) over your face at least leaves you in a better spot than when you walked into the bathroom. There are several formulas for different skincare concerns, including options like smoothing pineapple that also offer a mild exfoliation at the same time.

Or, for something in between, Lancôme Eau Fraîche Douceur Micellar Cleansing Water Face, Eyes, Lips ($40) is another option that quickly cleanses your face (without needing water) using this liquid and a cotton pad. Sure, you won't get that thorough clean that you'd get with a soap-like product, but it's better than getting makeup all over your pillowcase (and potentially clogging your pores, too).

Resolution: I will be more eco-conscious.

If your New Year's resolution involves living more sustainably in all aspects of your life (including being a more eco-conscious beauty consumer), knowing which products are clean is a first step. Start by reading the labels and educating yourself on brands' sustainability practices, or look to others who are well-versed in green beauty for their tips.

For makeup, making a greener swap for something you wear all the time is a good start, and there are several Sephora brands like RMS Beauty and Ilia to check out. If you don't leave home without foundation, look into this RMS Beauty Un Cover-Up Concealer/Foundation ($36) or, if mascara's your go-to, why not pick up the popular Ilia Limitless Lash Mascara ($13-$28) when your current tube runs out?

Then, if you're looking to find clean skin care, Drunk Elephant and its vegan Protini Polypeptide Moisturizer ($68) will keep you hydrated, and products from Primera — like this Miracle Seed Essence ($58) — will safely protect your skin without sulfates, parabens, or formaldehyde.

Or when it's hair care that's a concern, brands like Briogeo and Together Beauty have plenty of alternatives that are also full of active natural ingredients like the scalp-soothing Briogeo B. Well Organic + Australian 100% Tea Tree Oil ($32) or the 99 percent natural, mongongo-oil-powered Together Beauty Crown + Glory Smoothing Mask ($28).

Resolution: I will take better care of my body from the inside out.

Maybe you're going to make 2020 the year you stop being hard on yourself, and start thinking holistically about what you're putting into your body instead of just focusing on what you're not putting in (with cleanses and calorie cutting)?

A good place to start is with something more general like adaptogens, aka, herbs, roots, and mushrooms that adapt to your body's needs to improve everyday life. This Moon Juice Full Moon Dust Box ($35) serves as a good introduction as its six blends tackle issues like memory loss and fatigue and help build your body's resilience to stress overall.

If you're concerned that you aren't getting all the vitamins and other nutrients in your diet, now is a perfect time to look into multivitamins to fill in the gaps. Take the DLMD Liquid Multi-Vitamin Supplement ($45), for example, which packs in 13 essential vitamins, five minerals, and one bio flavonoid complex in liquid form (and is faster-acting compared to gummies or traditional vitamins).

Or, maybe you want to experiment with supplements to help you feel and look better. So, since collagen production starts slowing down as early as your mid 20s, why not start thinking about boosting it back up now? Maintain a smooth, supple complexion with these Hum Nutrition Collagen POP + Vitamin C Dissolvable Tablets ($12), including that ingredient, plus vitamin C for an extra hydrating boost.
