1. Retinol
2022 is all about skincare and retinol is the hottest trend according to Instagram, TikTok, and Google searches. While vitamin A derivatives have been used for decades, retinoids have recently grown in popularity and retinol can be found in many serums and creams.
The ingredient works differently for everyone, but benefits include the reduction of fine lines, improved collagen production, removal of blemishes, and correction of pigmentation problems.
2. Graphic Liner
Consumers are ditching the basic winged eyeliner in 2021, as eyeliner trends from the sixties and eighties make a comeback. One of the hottest beauty trends online, the graphic liner is worn by celebrities including Gigi Hadid, Kylie Jenner, and Barbie Ferrera.
The graphic liner is perfect for beginners, with a focus on creativity and unique designs for a perfect cat's eye look.
3. Gua sha
Gua Sha is a traditional Chinese medicinal practice, meaning 'scratching' and activating 'redness of the skin', often used to treat chronic pain, reduce inflammation and aid lymphatic drainage.
The first recorded
use of gua sha was during the Ming Dynasty - the ruling dynasty of China from
1368 to 1644. In Asia, this healing remedy has been practiced daily by many
people for centuries. Although, it has recently become a popular trend
worldwide thanks to its popularity on social media.
4. SPF
Sunscreen is one of the most important products in a healthy skincare routine, but it's also one of the least important of the most detailed steps. With your initial application, sunscreen must be reapplied every two to three hours.
Finding the time to
reapply sunscreen can be a hassle, especially when you're on the go or worse
when you're wearing makeup. The best powder sunscreens absorb oil and boast
formulas that provide adequate sun protection. And in case you were wondering,
yes, powder SPF works.
5. DIY Skincare
Beauty treatments
often come with a hefty price tag, but did you know you can make your skincare
products at home? Your fridge or kitchen cupboard is full of delicious
ingredients that can be repurposed into face masks and body scrubs.
70% of waste in the
beauty industry comes from packaging and the use of plastic is a major problem.
From used coffee grounds to Greek yogurt, these easy DIY beauty tricks are
great alternatives to the often heavily packaged and pricey products in stores.
So, raid your kitchen and treat yourself to a well-deserved treat for a
fraction of the cost to your wallet and the planet.
6. Lip Scrub
Lip balms are a go-to product for everyone to keep lips hydrated, but exfoliation with a DIY lip scrub is just as important to ensure they're free of dead skin cells and in the process become soft. Yes, we mentioned DIY because not only are they easy to make, but they're also a much safer option with harsh chemicals than your commercially sold products.
Scrubbing is not a
daily practice. Once or twice a week should be enough to ensure your pout stays
crease- and dryness-free. Many packaged lip scrubs are promoted and endorsed by
many on the internet, but in the long run, they strip your lips of their
natural pink glow. Below, you will find some of the best homemade lip scrubs
that you can prepare yourself at home without spending a fortune on.
7. Ombre Lips
An ombre lip is a
makeup look that combines two shades of lipstick to create a matte effect. The
color can be moved from outside the cupid's bow or from the outer lips to the
inner lips to give the lips a bolder look. Learn how to achieve this makeup
look to create the illusion of fuller lips.
An ombre lip is a
makeup look of two or more lipstick shades blended to create a gradient. The French
word "ombré" translates to "shadow". Lipstick shades for
ombre lips can be complementary or contrasting colors. You can use a variety of
lipstick products to achieve ombre lips, including lipstick, liquid lipstick,
matte lipstick, lip gloss, lip pencil, and lip liner.
An ombre lip
application can create a fuller lip look or complete a glam makeup look.
8. Glass Skin
"Glass skin is
when your skin is at its healthiest," explains Alicia Yoon, founder of
Peaches & Lily. "For skin to look flawless, glowing, and translucent,
many things have to happen. You can't just be hydrated and look that way. Your
skin needs to be healthy in all aspects. The skin is 'see-through skin' and
this is because their skin is still so healthy.

need?

cleanser and gentle foam cleanser for double cleansing
- exfoliator
- toner
- essence
- serum
or face oil
- moisturizer

9. Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring glycosaminoglycan found in connective tissues throughout the body. Glycosaminoglycans are simply long unbranched carbohydrates or sugar called polysaccharides.
HA is the main component that gives your skin its structure and is responsible for that plump and hydrated look. You may have heard the buzz around collagen, but hyaluronic acid is where it's at.

10. Niacinamide
Niacinamide, also known as nicotinamide, is a form of vitamin B-3 or an essential nutrient. B-3 deficiency can cause skin, kidney, and brain damage. Taking niacinamide can help you to prevent B-3 deficiency.
And there's more to this nutrient, especially when it comes to overall skin health. Although more research is needed, topical niacinamide may help you to treat certain skin conditions, including acne and eczema.
Food &
Suppliments

to consume micronutrients like vitamin B-3 is through a balanced diet. Only use
supplements when prescribed by a doctor to address a deficiency.
Vitamin B-3 is
found in:

- cereals
