Each year, skincare makes great leaps forward in terms of the ingredients used and the blends that deliver healthier, glower skin. In 2024, certain ingredients and products will take center stage and a range of conditions will be treated through new formulas.

Exosomes

Exosomes are a new buzzword in beauty. They refer to cells that are formed from stem cell secretions, and when applied topically they encourage skin cells to regenerate. However, some experts are cautious about the strengths of some of the products available on the market, so if you’re keen to give this ingredient a try, start on a low dosage.

Skin Cycling

Taking off in 2023 and sure to continue into 2024, skin cycling refers to the practice of reducing the amount of products you use on some days, to give skin and pores a rest from constantly absorbing multiple products and ingredients. Whether you opt to go entirely bare-faced, or strip your routine back to just a cleanser and moisturizer, there is evidence that skin cycling is a great idea especially if you have congested, oily skin.

Neurocosmetics

This approach to skincare combines science relating to mindfulness with beauty. By applying your skincare in a slow, massage-like style, you can help the product penetrate further into your skin whilst relaxing your mind and body. Feeling more relaxed has itself been linked to healthier, less congested skin, so taking a holistic approach to skincare and focusing on calming yourself through applying it can have a big benefit on your overall skin health.

Most of the time, beauty trends are about more: buying more, spending more time on your routine, and working harder to look more beautiful. That’s why the newest skincare trend, skinimalism, is so refreshing. If you’re lazy, low-maintenance, and/or trying to keep to a budget, you’ll love this trend.

Skinimalism is essentially a minimalist approach to skincare, focused on reducing the number of products and ingredients in our skincare routines. It’s also related to taking a more natural approach to beauty, allowing our bare skin to shine rather than slathering it with makeup. It’s a step back from the 15-step Korean skincare routines that were trending a few years ago—or rather, about 10 to 14 steps back.

With skinimalism, you can look forward to a more sustainable, more affordable beauty routine that takes up less time, less energy, and less effort. And while it may take some trial and error to find the right multitasking products that allow you to minimize your beauty routine, it all pays off in the end once you can stop thinking so much and spending so much time on your face every day.

So if you’re a fan of the simple life and get a kick out of reducing, why not Marie Kondo your skincare routine next?

CBD has broken out in recent years as something of a miracle cure, used to help people with an impressively wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, PTSD, chronic pain, menstrual cramps, and even cancer. And now it’s starting to get popular as a treatment for yet another problem that plagues millions of people around the world: acne.

That’s right, if you’ve ever had acne, you probably already know how stubborn it can be, but you probably hadn’t thought of treating it with a cannabinoid extracted from the same plant that gets people high. Yet studies have shown that CBD can be a really effective treatment for acne by helping reduce inflammation and decrease oil production, two causes of the pesky skin condition.

One of the most popular and easiest ways to use CBD for acne is in the form of topical face oil, which you dab a few drops of onto your face as part of your daily skincare routine. Some people are really swearing by it, so if you suffer from stubborn acne that doesn’t respond to other issues, why not talk to your dermatologist and see if you can give it a shot?

TikTok has given us a lot of great content, useful tips and trends, but we should always take every TikTok advice with a grain of salt. Here are some popular skincare trends on TikTok that most dermatologists wouldn’t approve.

DIY Microneedling

Microneedling is a cosmetic procedure that can make your skin look younger and reduce wrinkles or shrink pores. It’s done by creating small punctures in the skin using tiny needles, which means that doing this at home is a very bad idea. This procedure should be done by a professional in order to avoid infection or skin irritation.

Sunscreen Contouring

This is one of the latest beauty trends that’s been blowing up on TikTok and that most professionals agree can be very dangerous. This trend involves applying sunscreen on areas of your face where you would put highlighter on and spending some time on the sun in order to achieve a natural contoured look. Dermatologists, on the other hand, say that this trend is very dangerous and can lead to skin damage.

Applying Toothpaste On Pimples

This is a well-known hack that we’ve all tried at least once hoping that toothpaste could help us get rid of pimples. The truth is that this home remedy may help dry up a pimple but it can cause skin irritation too, so it’s best to avoid it.

In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has influenced many of the skincare trends. We’ve had to come up with new ways to take care of our skin due to wearing masks and in 2021, these will be the skincare trends everyone’s following.

Maskne Treatments

Mask acne has been such a thing that it’s gotten its own name—mascne. Many people who haven’t had to deal with pimples since their teenage years are now having breakouts and skin irritation due to wearing masks. This has caused people to seek out topicals and medical professionals to reduce their acne and deal with scarring.

Gentler Retinol Alternatives

Retinol increases collagen production and skin-cell turnover, treats acne, unclogs pores, evens out skin tone, and reduces fine lines and wrinkles. Many people are hesitant to use retinol treatments due to them irritating the skin. Plant-based alternatives and antioxidants are great swaps for retinol.

At-Home Chemical Peels

Even when medical offices fully open, people will continue to try and get similar results at home with chemical peels. DIY versions are usually gentler and they use similar ingredients to take care of skin issues like fine lines, discoloration, sun damage, and acne.

The words white truffle probably remind you of food instead of beauty products and yet, white truffle is one of the hottest ingredients in the cosmetic industry right now. What does it do? Do you need it in your skincare routine? Find out below.

As dermatologist Hadley King, MD, tells Real Simple, “mushrooms, in general, are thought to work with the skin’s natural renewal processes.” Truffles have some unique properties that makes them amazing for addressing several different skin-related problems, especially age-related ones. Another dermatologist, Joshua Zeichner, told the outlet that there are many bioactive compounds in white truffles, like fatty acids, amino acids, and vitamin C.

This means that white truffles are packed with antioxidants, specifically flavonoids. This component is important for dealing with the free radical damage on your skin that comes from UV light and city pollution. Beauty products with this ingredient are also great for dealing with dark spots on your skin, thanks to vitamin C. Another thing that should be mentioned is their anti-inflammatory properties, and inflammation can make your skin look older and irritated.

According to Cult Beauty, the question “what does vitamin C do for your skin?” was searched for in record-breaking numbers on Google this year.

When it comes to healthy, zit-free skin, there are thousands of brands out there offering different formulas to fix all our skincare problems. As it turns out, the solution is a lot simpler than we thought and it comes down to these three things: SPF, retinol, and Vitamin C.

Skincare products that are infused with Vitamin C can do absolute wonders for your skin. The ingredient is difficult to work with as it degrades when let out the bottle, but thanks to modern technology, there are now a range of user-friendly Vitamin C-infused creams and serums that work magic on zit-prone skin.

Getting Vitamin C in your diet is essential for healthy skin but according to Linda Blahr at SkinCeuticals, our skin is the last organ to digest Vitamin C, hence why applying it directly to your skin in the form of cream is more effective.

“L-Ascorbic acid (better known as Vitamin C) is essential for humans as we cannot synthesise it by ourselves,” she explains.

“You can implement Vitamin C in your daily diet by eating vegetables & fruits with a high concentration of Vitamin C. However, the skin is the last organ addressed within the digestion process, so there is a need for ‘topical Vitamin C’ formulations that work efficiently within the skin’s metabolism.” 

Who would have thought it? Vitamin C could be the one missing ingredient from your perfect skincare regime.

It’s no longer unusual to see your favorite celebrities starting their beauty lines, but they’re currently moving to a new territory. New brands founded by our favorite A-list stars are becoming the next big thing in the world of skincare.

This new trend was a long time coming since many celebrity beauty brands put an emphasis on skincare. Jessica Alba’s Honest Beauty and Millie Bobby Brown’s Florence by Mills are the perfect examples, but they are yet to start skincare-specific brands.

The first celebrity skincare brand to come to mind is obviously Kylie Skin. After finding enormous success with her beauty brand, Kylie Jenner decided to focus on skincare last year and the parent brand of Kylie Cosmetics quickly became an instant success.

Kylie Skin isn’t the only hit celebrity brand on the market. Rihanna’s Fenty Skin finally launched on July 31st to rave reviews, and it’s both eco-friendly and unisex. The Barbadian singer has always been one of the biggest trendsetters in the beauty and fashion world, and we’re yet to see if other celebrities with their own beauty brands will decide to branch out to skincare.

In 2019, we finally said goodbye to matte skin and makeup looks. We let our skin glow, whether that glow was natural or achieved by foundation formulas and highlighters. But we’re now wondering what’s waiting for us in 2020 when it comes to skin trends, and the answer comes from South Korea, the unofficial capital of skincare.

The latest obsession among Korean skincare experts is “cream skin,” a look that requires less effort and time to achieve than the previous trend known as “glass skin”. Cream skin can be achieved without mixing a ton of oils, serums, moisturizers, and exfoliators. In fact, it came from the idea of ditching the famous Korean 10-step skincare routine and getting it to the absolute minimum.

To achieve cream skin, stick to a few of your proven products that never fail you and keep your makeup light, especially the products that go on your skin. Let your natural beauty shine without having to spend tons of time and money on extensive skincare routines.

Tired of dropping $75 for a single serum? You don’t have to anymore, because Target has just debuted their new skincare line, and everything there is under $20!

The company took 11 years to develop the new line called Versed. There are 19 products that cover pretty much everything you need when it comes to skincare, from eye creams to serums.

Everything is free of sulfates, parabens, phthalates, fragrances, and added colors. All the products are vegan and cruelty-free. Could this be the most perfect skincare line ever?

We really love the direction the skincare industry is taking in 2019. The companies are finally catching up and learning that their customers can’t always afford to spend half a paycheck on skin related products, but still want to look amazing and take care of their skin.

Now more than ever, there’s a great selection of affordable products with amazing ingredients on the market, and our heart always goes to the brands that choose a cruelty-free and vegan approach.
