Beauty is not only about the external appearance but also about the overall well-being of an individual. It is a reflection of good habits and a healthy lifestyle.

As we step into a new year, it is the perfect time to assess our habits and make positive changes. Here are 30 areas to improve in 2014 to enhance your beauty both inside and out.

1. Skincare Routine

Developing a consistent skincare routine is essential for maintaining a healthy complexion. Cleansing, exfoliating, moisturizing, and using SPF are key steps to incorporate into your daily regimen.
