The year 2024 was one of the best in terms of beauty. We witnessed many skincare trends emerge, and most beauty enthusiasts were quick to embrace them.
Some of the top five skincare trends that were booming this year included:
Skinimalism: This trend continues to dominate and will likely be a in thing in 2025 and possibly beyond.
People embraced simpler routines with fewer, high-quality products. The focus was on understanding what their skin truly needed and sticking to it.
Vitaderm’s Multi-Vitamin Treatment Cream is perfect for this trend, offering a nourishing blend of Vitamins A, B3, B5, C and E to restore skin health with minimal fuss.
Hormonal skincare: Most people now understand that hormones affect their skin, and to address skin woes like hormonal acne, they need to balance their hormones.
Anti-inflammatory skincare: Products that calm and soothe irritated skin are gaining popularity. Ingredients like niacinamide and centella asiatica, known for their soothing properties, have become skincare essentials.
Not only soothe the skin but also boost hydration, making them ideal for sensitive skin.
Squalane: This hydrating hero continued to shine in the skincare world, known for its ability to lock in moisture and protect the skin barrier.
Products containing this ingredient are known for locking in moisture and promoting a youthful appearance.
Personalisation: Skincare is not a one-size-fits-all solution, and this year, we saw people gain a deeper understanding of the importance of using products tailored to their skin’s needs. Brands also used AI to help recommend products.
If you were not consistent in your routine this year, worry not because there is a chance to try again next year.
For your skincare resolutions for 2025, these are some of the trends you may consider.
Embrace skin streaming: Simplify your routine even more by focusing on just a few key products that work for you. Quality over quantity.
Stay informed: Stay up to date with the latest trends, and make sure you do thorough research before jumping onto products.
Focus on ingredients: Natural ingredients are always better. Find the ones that will address your skin concerns.
Mind your hormones: If hormonal changes affect your skin, consider products formulated to support skin health during different life stages.
Sustainable choices: Opt for brands that prioritise sustainability, from packaging to ingredient sourcing. Your skin and the planet will thank you.
