I like to think of January as the perfect time for a reset. It's the month I take stock of my closet and beauty cabinet and do an overhaul. The former was easy to take care of (bye, bye baggy jeans!), but the latter is a whole other beast. Thankfully, the best new beauty products of January have given me a fresh slate to start 2026 on a high note.

Every part of my routine, from my everything shower down to my everyday makeup, has gotten an update for the new year. Thanks to Phlur's delectable Vanilla Skin body oil, along with a new body wash, body butter, and hand cream, my skin is softer than it ever was in 2025. I've also said goodbye to dry winter skin with the addition of a few new K-beauty products, moisturizers, and serums.

January's new beauty launches have clearly made a mark on me, but the same could be said for the rest of the Marie Claire beauty team. For a complete rundown on every new beauty product that stole our hearts, keep scrolling—you're bound to find a new favorite (or two).
