Sali Hughes has made a New Year pledge, sans resolutions, and instead adopted a new set of beauty habits that aim to improve her skin and overall well-being.
The journalist believes that even someone with a skincare routine as rigorous as hers can still find areas for improvement. So, what changes will Sali be making in 2026? Firstly, she has vowed to drink more water – something she admits to being dependent on tea for over the years. To combat this, she's purchased an oversized mug and aims to finish a liter by bedtime.
Next up is her skincare routine. Sali plans to use an LED mask at least four times a week, opting for Beauty Pie's Dynamo Deep LED Collagen-Boosting Mask, which she finds more comfortable than others in the same price range (£199). For her retinol game, she'll be sticking to Klira's The Special, a product that consistently delivers great results on her skin.
Her hair also needs some TLC. After five years of bleached highlights, Sali will be treating it to regular masks – specifically Olaplex's Weightless Nourishing Mask (£39) which promises to last through three normal washes.
When it comes to makeup, Sali plans to simplify her collection and stick to a few tried-and-true products. Her go-to lip product is still Charlotte Tilbury's Pillow Talk Love Effect Lipstick in Naughty Talk (£29), but she'll be limiting herself to just one lip color instead of carrying six or eight identical shades.
In the beauty world, Sali plans to try collagen supplements, despite a lack of scientific evidence supporting their benefits. She'll also be sharing her experience with her readers who swear by them. And in a surprising move, she's bribed her son to join her at the gym once a week to encourage him – and herself – to start exercising more.
By embracing these changes, Sali aims to improve her skin, increase her energy levels, and simply be more productive. Whether or not she succeeds remains to be seen, but one thing is for certain: she's taking control of her beauty routine in 2026.

anyway Sali's idea to get her son to exercise with her is kinda cool tho, we need more fam bonding & fitness vibes 
at least she's taking steps towards being more productive and happy, that's what it's all about 
anyway Sali's got a solid skincare plan, i'm tempted to try that Olaplex mask tho 
her hair goals are on point too, bleached highlights can be so damaging 
simplifying her makeup collection is a great idea too, less is more, right? 
and honestly i don't know about these collagen supplements but hey its all about trying new things and taking care of yourself 
So I think what's interesting here is that Sali's approach isn't about setting specific goals like "lose weight" or "get more followers", but rather about making small, sustainable changes to improve her overall well-being. Like, who doesn't want to drink more water? 
It's all about finding those tiny tweaks that add up over time. I also love how she's prioritizing self-care and not just focusing on superficial beauty standards – it's great to see a public figure embracing the idea of "self-care" in a more holistic way. And, you know, maybe we can learn from her approach... 
! Sali's new skincare habits are on point 
. The LED mask four times a week is gonna give her glowy skin 
, and I'm loving the olaplex hair masks too 
. But, gotta ask... £199 for an LED mask? 
That's some pricey pampering 
! On a more serious note, collagen supplements are something I'm curious about too 
. Has anyone else tried them out? What's the tea? 
️
. And I love that she's simplifying her makeup routine and relying on a few tried-and-true products – sometimes less is truly more, right?
her new skincare fave sounds legit tho! the dynamo deep led collagen-boosting mask (£199) seems pricey but if it works that's all that matters 
I've started doing the same thing and I feel like a whole new person 
. LED masks are gonna be so popular this year, can't wait to try one out 
. And omg, bribing your kid to hit the gym with you is the best parenting hack ever 
. Bring it on, 2026! 
. And omg have you seen those LED masks? £199 is a lil steep but if it works 
I'm all for it. Can't wait to see how Sali's skincare game evolves in 2026
