Taking good care of your skin is not only about your skincare routine —but it’s also about the products you use. Before committing to a product, you need to consider your budget, skin compatibility, ingredients used, and brands. Thus, the importance of having the know-how about new skincare trends is an advantage.
Articles online such as this are just among the intensive guides for you to broaden your knowledge on what’s new and explore better options about what to acquire for consumption. Hence, to give you a glimpse of 2022’s skincare trends, here are some promising products you may want to try.
But First, Skin Analysis
Dermatological consultations are also a great help before deciding what product you should use. Skincare clinics offer Skin Analysis which allows you to be aware of your skin type. For instance, the PEAR by Dermaquip provides state-of-the-art technology in skin analysis which gave them recognition in the Aesthetic and Cosmetic Medicine Awards 2021.
For an in-depth explanation, Skin Analysis is a method wherein an AI-Powered machine is used to analyze your skin using face-mapping technology. This technique identifies skin issues like signs of aging, pores, wrinkles, pigmentation, radiance, shininess, moisture, sebum, skin tone, skin elasticity, texture, impurities, and many more.
Through this method, professionals will have a close up look regarding your skin’s situation and avoid guesswork. Resulting to a more effective and favorable outcome.
Beauty Bars
Bar soaps are never out of trend in the skincare industry. This year, you will see the emergence of prominent beauty bars such as Erno Laszlo’s purifying, mineral-rich Sea Mud Deep Cleansing Bar. Ever since its relaunch last year with a whole new packaging, many consumers have been getting their hands on this product.
In addition, Megababe’s Space Underarm Bar is also in the talks this year for its activated charcoal and glycolic acid properties that help battle pit-specific stink. On the other hand, Pharrell’s Human race Reenergizing Whiteclay Body Bar also offers consumers moisturizing snow mushroom extract that gives skin nourishment while freshening up your day.
While bar soaps are convenient in their simplicity, Dr. Idriss explains an error that most users have taken for granted. “Soap sitting in a moist environment can harness bacteria that can easily spread to other parts of the body,” she expounds. “If you are going to jump on the bar soap wagon, please give your soap a rigorous rinse after each use!”
Proper storage of your bar soaps is advised since it helps prevent unwanted skin infections. As a result, you’d see a more positive outcome regarding its effectiveness.
Cryo-Tech-Infused Beauty Products
Cryo-tech-infused products as a beauty regimen dive into the territory of cryotherapy. In other words, the cold sensation is being utilized to rejuvenate the skin and help tighten up loose portions.
New York City-based board-certified dermatologist Dendy Engelman, M.D. goes on to explain, “The idea behind cryotherapy is that cold temperatures cause the blood vessels to contract and pores to tighten, causing the skin to look firmer and more rejuvenated,” She then added, “It’s a great way to keep skin looking, feeling, and functioning healthily,”
For instance, Stacked Skincare’s Sculpting roller and Georgia Louise’s icy orbs are just among the cryo-treatment skincare products that you can try for contouring your face. Dr. Engleman further explains the benefits of cryo-tech-infused products. She said, “Cryotherapy can also temporarily improve the absorption of topical products,”
It might be a new experience for you this time but trying new things is a good way of exploring greener pastures as far as obtaining healthy glowing skin is concerned. Hence, adding cryotherapy to your regimen can actually be just the one you need in 2022.
All About The Lips
The problem most people have with their lips are those little cracks and flakes caused by dehydration. Dr. Engleman said that keeping your lips healthy and adequately hydrated is essential.
Using lip products to keep it from being dehydrated is an advantage. Good thing there have been innovations for lip products over the past months until now.
Lip balms are one of the basics, but they wouldn’t last with these flakes. Kim Kardashians’ makeup artist, Mario Dedivanovic, took a step ahead by adding Perfecting Lip Scrub to his makeup lineup. It is infused with sugar and vitamin E, which helps alleviate those cracks and flakes.
Once the flakes have been dealt with, the balms will do their work. Using this kind of product with hydration properties ensures that your lips will not look dry. According to Connecticut-based board-certified dermatologist Mona Gohara, M.D., “It’s like drinking a soda to quench thirst.” She also added, “You drink something that appeals to senses with no nutritional value shortly after that; you are still thirsty. The same thing goes for balms loaded with flavor, fragrance, and menthol.”
Furthermore, lip products such as the Tatcha Limited Edition Kissu Lip Mask are also a good investment because of their unique properties. It has a thick and glossy formula infused with Japanese peach extract that helps restore dry lips and the Japanese camellia oil, which has mega-hydrating properties.
For tinted balm users, you can try LYS Beauty Speak Love Glossy Lip Treatment Oil which has moisture loss prevention properties brought about by candelilla wax. Augustinus Bader’s The Lip Balm shares the same perk and is worth trying.
Bottom line, being critical of lip balms and their properties is a good practice. Make your money’s worth equal to the benefits you can get out of these good beauty products. Don’t just go for the smell or taste; go for a more scientific benefit based on the ingredients it’s made from.
Celebrity’s Choice
What is more effective marketing than being a celebrity? Probably none. This is why some beauty products that trend from time to time have found their way to some celebrities’ makeup lines.
For instance, JLo’s JLo Beauty was a blast last year, and this year has a bunch of celebrity beauty products that you can also try. Starting with Harry Styles’ illuminating serum and dual-ended lip and eye oil, followed by Naomi Osaka’s sun protection and melanin recovery skincare line called Kinlò.
Not to mention Rihanna’s Fenty Skin and Keys Soulcare by Alicia Keys. These are just among many for this year’s celebrity beauty line. In addition, Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner are looking to expand their skincare line, while Hailey Bieber will launch her Rhode brand line.
Body Essentials
2022 focuses on making body acne care. CeraVe’s salicylic acid hydrator is a body lotion infused with acid helpful in skin exfoliation. On the other hand, Drunk Elephant has glycolic acid-infused, and an enzyme body wash.
Back acnes are as normal as the pimples on your face. So, a body wash or lotion is on the table. Texas-based, board-certified dermatologist Heidi Prather, M.D., told Allure, “Back acne comes from the inconvenient and unfortunate cycle of clogged pores, inflammation, and poor skin turnover, She then added, “Hair products that contain silicones and oils can leave a residue on your skin, resulting in clogged pores and acne,”
With this, you can see how it’s crucial to screen your products for ingredients that are known to be comedogenic. Also, when getting a massage, always opt for lighter lotions instead of heavy creams and massage oils which exacerbate acne.
In Summary
What 2022 has to offer in skincare regimens varies significantly from face to lip products. More importantly, skincare products have improved in terms of the effective properties that they are infused with.
Clinical trials are underway, and dermatologists and skincare experts are critical in providing more innovations on different products. For instance, cryotherapy has become a tool for beauty, and the usage of cold temperature in beauty essentials paves the way for consumers to have a whole new practical experience.
Some ingredients for body wash and lip products have been highlighted for this year’s skincare trends. The Japanese Camellia Extract was added to lip balms and salves to maintain the lips hydrated. On the other hand, salicylic acid was infused in a new body wash to help with back acnes.
Moreover, celebrities are now producing their line of makeup and beauty regimens. As influential as they already are, they added more value to their products because it will show how effective it is for them. Thus, their fans would try those products.
Remember, no matter what trend you follow this year, you should consider just two vital things. For one, go for products that are within your budget. If you cannot afford it regularly, it will become less effective since you’d be using it for one duration. Beauty products’ effectiveness is directly related to the consistency of use.
Lastly, determine skin compatibility. It would be a waste buying bulks only to discover that they can irritate your skin. Do a skin test or go to your trusted derma expert and do a skin analysis. Doing this can save you time and lots of money.
