NEW YEAR, NEW SKIN

The Most Exciting New Skin-Care Products Arriving in January

2021 is finally here. What a better time to start a new skin-care routine? Check out all of the newness coming this month.
The Best New SkinCare Products Coming in January 2021

Each month, Allure editors break down the latest and greatest skin-care launches. Looking for more in skin care? Here are some of the best new products.

It's officially 2021, and we couldn't be happier for two reasons. One: 2020 sucked. Two: The skin care launching this year is so good. So, what better way to ring in the new year with a whole new skin-care routine?

We know that switching your regimen up can feel scary. Is this serum worth the splurge? Do we really need another self-tanner? And what the hell do all of these ingredients actually do? To ease any and all anxiety about what you should be using, we've tested and tried every product — moisturizers, cleansers, serums, masks, and more — that comes our way to help you make an informed decision.

You can count on us to keep you in-the-know about the launches that excite us and that we think will excite you and make you feel your best. This January, treat yourself by starting a new skin-care regimen with the newest products to hit shelves (both in-store and virtual), including the Simple Skincare Instant Glow & Defend Wipes and L'Oréal Paris' Sublime Bronze Self-Tanning Facial Drops.
