'New rules? HA! I'm not following any new rules! Just bloody try me!' We hear you say, as you flick your hair over your shoulder and clutch onto your witch hazel and Ponds Cold Cream in defiance.

Weget it. Goodness, we get it. New beauty rules suck. They're confusing. Daunting, even. Plus, you already have your entire routine down pat! And it totallyworksfor you. So, for the love of sorbolene - why would you change a thing?

But here's the thing, sweet fools. Most of us are already following these new beauty 'rules'.

No, really!

Watch: How Zoe Foster- Blake's makeup routine has changed since becoming a mum. Post continues below.

Like, when was the last time you wore a full-coverage matte foundation? How about a matte lipstick??

The beauty industry has changed a little (a lot) over the last year or so, yet most of us haven't even really noticed because we've been preoccupied with things like pandemics, soaring house prices, political unrest, what's going on with J.Lo and Ben Affleck, etc.

So, that's why we've pulled together a big ol' list of all the products and practices we're ditching in 2021 and what we're using instead.

1. Tinted moisturisers over heavy foundation.

Powdery, fully covered skin is officially out, friends. We're all sick of that s**t.

As we noted in our article on the new 'skinimalism' skin trend, these days most of us cute folk are more focused on natural, minimal or no-makeup beauty looks.

Things like tinted moisturisers, BB creams and CC creams or a well-placed concealer have become our go-to choice of coverage, as focus shifts over to embracing real skin texture - we're talking pores, acne scarring, blemishes, discolouration - the whole show.

2. Cleansing pads over facial wipes.

Got skin? Chances are facial wipes have been your go-to method of makeup removal for yonks. They're quick, easy and get the job done - especially when you're wearing a tonne of makeup or have had too much fun juice after a night out.

But... things have changed.

Facial wipes are no good for the environment (FYI: Sydney Water has removed more than 1000 tonnes of wet wipe materials from its wastewater system in the past two years), and most of these cleansing pads are washable, so there's zero waste involved - like Garnier Micellar Reusable Eco Pads.

Then there's the whole, 'makeup wipes don't actually clean your skin thing'.

Many experts have advised against using against facial wipes because theydon't actuallyremove makeupproperly and the chemicals can be really harsh to your skin.

Just check out this article where a doctor showed what happens to your skin when you use makeup wipes.

3. Lip oils and stains over lipstick.

We know a few people might feel triggered over this one BUT IT'S TRUE. When was the last time you popped on a matte lip? C'mon - it's been a while.

If you're anything like us, you've been taking the low-maintenance route on the lip front with balms, lip oils, tinted stains and the likes creeping on into your routine.
