4 Skin Care Trends to Continue in 2022
Here are four trends in 2021 that will continue being popular in 2022.
#1 Microbiome Focused Skincare
Scientists, dermatologists, and skincare brands agree that the mass proliferation of bacteria-based products is on the horizon. Probiotics are "friendly" bacteria believed to support skin health via the microbiome. As "microbiome-friendly" skincare products move to the mass market, experts say it is crucial to do your homework. The skincare market continues to push "pre-" and "post-" biotics in 2021. Plant-based probiotics continue to appear in Korean skin care routine products.
#2 Blue Light Protection
"Blue light" is emitted from tech screens — as well as from the sun, alongside UV rays. When blue light penetrates the skin, reactive oxygen species are generated, which leads to DNA damage. Sales of blue light protecting skin care increased by 170 per cent in the first half of 2014. More blue-light-blocking SPF and HEV-blocking sunscreens have come out in 2021. Niacinamide, for instance, can fight blue light, which may explain why it is in a lot of products, like the lines of face wash and cleanser for oily to sensitive skin.
#3 Products that Calm Inflammaging
Pandemic-related stress showed up on our skin in multiple ways. Skin-soothing ingredients will continue to trend into 2021. Chronic, low-grade inflammation can cause the skin to age more rapidly. "Inflammaging '' is a hybrid of "inflammation" and "ageing". More women have acne prone and sensitive skin due to wearing masks.
#4 Refillable Skincare Products
A roster of brands with refillable vessels, like those from Humanrace and Fenty Skin, proved that sustainable and sleek needn't be mutually exclusive. Numerous brands pledged to transition to 100 percent recyclable packaging in the years to come.
