Did you know that acne is the most common skin condition in North America?
While acne is most common during the teenage years, this condition does affect men and women of all ages.
Fortunately, the health and beauty industry has come an incredibly long way in recent years. With groundbreaking technology and a more specialized focus on skincare, there's never been a better time to combat problem skin.
If you're looking to stay up-to-date with the latest skincare trends, you're going to want to read this. We're uncovering ten trends that are sure to get you on the road to healthy, glowing skin in no time.
1. The-60 Second Rule
The 60-second rule is simple: it involves washing your face for an extended period of sixty seconds.
Doing so allows the ingredients of your cleanser to actually penetrate the skin and do their job. Without doing so, it's challenging for the ingredients to remove things such as makeup, dirt and anything that builds throughout the day.
This also encourages us to think more actively about how and where we are washing our face. When committing to a sixty-second timeline, we're able to channel our focus to washing each individual facial zone.
2. Microneedle Patches
If you've ever used a pimple patch or pore strip, it's time to familiarize yourself with the newest edition of the pimple patch: a microneedle patch.
This patch targets a more concentrated and deeper area than a traditional pimple patch. It contains a collection of minuscule needles that work to penetrate the surface of the skin. These needles contain hyaluronic acid which helps to eliminate acne-causing bacteria.
This way, the acne fighting ingredients are attacking the problem area faster and more effectively.
3. Sustainability
Many consumers today appreciate a more sustainable approach when it comes to their skincare. This is in terms of packaging as well as the ingredient list.
A number of companies are choosing to opt for reduced packaging in order to reduce the carbon footprint. As for the ingredient list, many businesses are choosing to include ingredients that are more planet-friendly.
This is something we expect to progress well into the year of 2019.
4. Personalized Skincare
It's safe to say that skin care has never been more personalized than it is today.
While the majority of skincare is still dedicated to a generalized group, companies today are switching up the game. Nowadays, companies are personalizing their products to better fit the needs of their consumers.
Whether your skin is excessively oily or suffering from dryness, this will be accounted for in your personalized product. While it may sound complicated, a personalized skincare routine can be as simple as answering a short questionnaire about your skin.
5. The Chemical Peel
For those that take their skincare routine seriously, a chemical peel may be just what your skin has been longing for. While the cost of a chemical peel is certainly an investment, the results speak for themselves.
Put simply, a chemical peel is a chemical solution that is applied to the skin. It seeks to remove the outermost layer of the skin through inflicting a controlled injury to the skin. As a result, the chemical peel will help to:
- Reduce fine lines
- Reduce acne scarring
- Reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines
- Improve the look and appearance of skin
6. Skincare Vials and Capsules
Who knew that skincare doesn't just have to be limited to toners and cleansers?
As technology continues to progress, scientists are discovering incredible new means to bettering one's skin. Short and simple, skincare vials and capsules provide the body with the nourishment that has proven to benefit one's skin.
Many of these vials and capsules offer similar benefits to a serum. However, the product contains higher and more concentrated ingredients. This eliminates the need for a filler that can be commonly found in traditional products.
7. An Influx of All-in-One Products
Today, consumers are favoring a "less is more" attitude when it comes to their skincare routine.
As a result, we're officially bidding farewell to a long and overcomplicated routine. The issue with this type of routine is that it's too time-consuming and not always realistic for an everyday commitment. When this happens, the potential of straying from the routine is far more likely.
In its place, we're opting for single-step solutions that offer a time time-savvy approach to skincare. Although the ingredients are minimized, they still carry a multitude of comparable benefits.
8. Pollution Protection
Are you an urban dweller?
As 2019 progresses, prepare to see an increase in the number of skin care products that aim to combat the effects of pollution.
If you find yourself spending the majority of your time within the city limits, this one is for you. For those that eat, sleep and breathe in today's city environments, you've likely witnessed just how significantly pollution can impact your skin.
This is where anti-pollution skincare comes into play. This type of product will incorporate a number of probiotics that help to combat the harmful bacteria in the air.
9. Advanced At-Home Facials
While investing in high-end skincare has certainly been a trend in recent years, this isn't always an option for every consumer.
For those that are opting for a more wallet-friendly skincare solution, an at-home facial is certainly a simplified option. As technology continues to progress, the high-intensity facials that can be completed within one's own home are incredibly impressive.
Today, we're moving one step past the facemask and incorporating things such as steam facials and at-home peels. These are a simple and affordable solution for those that are looking for a more wallet-friendly approach to facials.
Of course, good skin doesn't always stop at your skin itself. Instead, it's essential to have healthy, nourished hair that accompanies your complexion. Take advantage of this offer to ensure that your hair is just as healthy as your complexion!
10. CBD Skincare
In today's day and age, it's nearly impossible to avoid discussions centred upon CBD.
For those new to the world of CBD, it's a naturally occurring compound found in the cannabis plant. Amongst a variety of other benefits, CBD has also proven to have a profound impact on one's skin. This includes both minimizing swelling, redness and the pain associated with certain acne.
As a result, many products are choosing to infuse their products with CBD oil. Because the CBD does not contain any THC, it doesn't produce a mental high as other cannabis products do.
Skincare Trends
In today's day and age, skincare has become the most dominant segment of the beauty industry.
More so than ever before, men and women are deeply focusing on how to improve the look and the feel of their skin. Be it acne, sun spots or fine lines and wrinkles, the latest skincare trends aim to target it all.
If you're officially ready to make the most of your skincare regime, this one is for you. To help narrow your focus, these products are certainly a great place to begin your skincare journey.
