As we look back on the year that’s passed, we are really looking forward to the New Year aren’t we beauties?
It’s been a hard year over all, for everyone, but there is always something to be learned and we’ve been paying attention. We’ve turned our attention towards ourselves, our self-care, our wellbeing, and the biggest thing to come out of the pandemic? More focus on skin care and more interest in skin care products.
So if you’re curious about the biggest new trends coming this year, we’ve got all you need right here.
Non-soapy soap bars! Calling us back to a more natural skin care, beauty bars are not only very affordable, but the wide range of organic and essential products has seduced a consumer looking for an easy way to keep their skin clean.
It’s always good to stick with the basics, we agree. If it works, it works!
Not new to us but maybe worth more exploring: skin care based around the cold.
If you remember one of our grandma’s beauty tips was to use an ice cube in the morning to massage our face and around the eyes to reduce puffiness: this is the more high-tech version.
With benefits like boosting collagen, reducing inflammation, anti-aging and rejuvenation, cryo face tools are easily stored in the fridge and then taken out to massage your face either in the morning or night, or before you apply your make-up.
With the help of the cold, these stainless steel sticks calm and regulate blood circulation in the face.
If you want beautiful skin in the morning, you must take care of it at night. As the wellness and beauty sector keeps expanding, we find more and more products for overnight skin pampering. It’s not only about layering on thick creams and serums, it’s also about taking the time to slow down and focus on yourself. This “beauty” time is also “me” time, and the few minutes dedicated to your overnight skin care translate directly into reducing stress and improving your sleep.
Netflix and skin care tonight?
From Rihana, to Jessica Alba, to JLo to Harry Styles, we can’t get enough of celebrity skin care brands. What’s the deal? It’s about personalized care tending for specific niches. Natural skin care, ethnic skin care, glamourous, trending… each celebrity is celebrating their own tastes and giving us a new way to celebrate our skin. Even our Arab influencers, like Salama Mohamed who started her own line for sensitive skin as she suffers from Vitiligo.
Which celebrity do you think should have their own line? Here’s a hint: Dr. Costi
This vegan plant-based alternative to retinol is a great way to smooth lines and reduce dark circles, when you’re allergic to retinol.
Retinol is the most powerful ingredient we know of to boost collagen and strengthen the skin, however some people with sensitive skin can’t use it. Enter bakuchiol. Look for it in all anti-aging skin care products.
Oldie but goldie! Niacinamides have been in our beauty bag for a while now.
Want glowing skin? Niacinamides.
Want hydrated and protected skin? Niacinamides.
Want youthful skin? Niacinamides.
They work with the skin’s natural chemistry to improve overall skin texture by rebuilding a lipid layer, minimizing the appearance of pores, and preventing UV damage and inflammation.
As we realize the need to save our planet, more and more beauty products will be packed in aluminum tubes. Why? Because aluminum can be recycled forever.
It’s been a long time coming and we couldn’t be happier. We’ll also see refillable creams, refillable deodorant and reusable shampoo and conditioner bottles.
Love your planet!
Happy New You! Every day is a new opportunity to become who you want to be, don’t wait until the New Year to do it!
