New year, new you. Even if this common expression nauseates you, there's something to be said for taking time each January to compile a list of goals for the year ahead, like saving more money, cooking more meals at home, and taking better care of your skin. But of all the ambitious targets, the latter is one of the most enjoyable. Not only does it have visible payoff, it just feels good to baby your skin.
Spending the money necessary to achieve said goal, however, is tougher to stomach — unless you shop drug and mass discount stores. Luckily, 2020 is looking particularly glowy and hydrated thanks to a bunch of affordable new launches. From a creamy cleanser and watermelon mask, to retinol and hyaluronic acid serums, we've rounded up the freshest new offerings to make your skin-care goals a reality this year.
