Top 3 skin goals for 2025 and how to achieve them
As we step into 2025, skincare trends will come and go, but some aspirations never fade. This year, dewy, plump, and glowing skin are taking center stage, representing the ultimate goals for a complexion that looks and feels healthy, vibrant, and cared for.
At Pestle & Mortar, we’ve seen countless trends over the years, but these three goals have proven timeless. Why? Because they’re rooted in great skin health—the ultimate goal that underpins everything else. The good news is, achieving these skin goals doesn’t require an elaborate 10-step routine or a mountain of products. With the right steps and consistent care, you can make 2025 the year of your best skin yet.
How to get dewy skin
What is dewy skin?
Dewy skin has a fresh, radiant glow that looks smooth, hydrated, and luminous—not shiny. Think of the way your skin might appear after stepping out of a steamy shower or after a day spent relaxing and rejuvenating. Achieving dewy skin is all about hydration, both inside and out. When your skin is well-hydrated, it reflects light better and looks fresh and radiant.
How to get it:
Layer your hydration: Start with a lightweight hydrating serum, and follow with a nourishing moisturiser to lock in moisture. This two-step approach ensures your skin stays hydrated throughout the day.
Hydrate from within: Drinking plenty of water and incorporating hydrating foods like watermelon or cucumber into your diet can visibly improve skin hydration.
Don’t skip eye cream: The delicate skin around your eyes is one of the first areas to show dehydration. Use a lightweight, hydrating eye cream to keep this area smooth and refreshed.
Dewy skin depends on hydration, so make basic hydration a priority.
how to get plump skin
What is plump skin?
Plump skin is smooth, firm, and youthful-looking—where light bounces effortlessly off full, juicy cheeks. It’s the hallmark of skin that’s well-hydrated and supported by collagen, the protein responsible for skin’s volume and elasticity. Over time, factors like dehydration, collagen loss, and inconsistent skincare can lead to a flat or tired-looking complexion. But with the right routine, you can restore your skin’s bounce and vibrancy.
How to get it:
Incorporate hyaluronic acid: This hydration powerhouse draws moisture to the skin, visibly plumping it and smoothing fine lines.
Use a peptide-rich moisturiser: Peptides encourage collagen production, acting like personal trainers for your skin. They help restore firmness and bounce over time.
Avoid harsh cleansers: Stripping cleansers can disrupt your skin’s barrier, making it harder to retain moisture. Opt for gentle formulations that cleanse without compromising hydration.
Plump skin is all about supporting your skin’s natural hydration and collagen production for a youthful, fresh-faced appearance.
how to get glowing skin
What is glowing skin?
Glowing skin exudes health and vitality. It’s often described as a “lit-from-within” look—skin that’s smooth, balanced, and free from dullness or uneven texture. Achieving this radiant complexion involves keeping your skin nourished, protected, and well cared for.
How to get it:
Cleanse properly: A gel cleanser with gentle exfoliating properties removes impurities and keeps your skin clear without irritation.
Feed your skin: Use products packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and fruit extracts to brighten and protect your skin.
Hydrate wisely: Opt for products that give balanced hydration without overloading the skin to keep pores clear and healthy.
A glowing complexion reflects a healthy lifestyle and consistent skincare—focus on nourishing your skin from the inside out.
