The effort that goes into creating a skincare routine that works for you can be challenging. Using the right products with the right ingredients can lead to a lot of trial and error, especially when so many are making big claims.
New trends also follow, which is why health and wellness experts at Ethos Aesthetics and Wellnesshave put together the hottest skincare trends right now to have your skin looking health and at its best.
Skin Streaming
The days of long, intricate, and confusing skincare routines are gone as we step into 2024. Skin streaming is a process that whittles down the number of products in your skincare routine, leaving you to use only the essentials. Pairing your skincare routine with fewer products and allowing the skin to breathe will ensure all the products you choose to use work properly and are as effective as possible.
Skincare can be complicated, from remembering the order in which to use your serums, acids, moisturisers, and creams to how to apply each product correctly.
Experts suggest that this new wave of streamlining your routine will make the process much easier and make your skin feel free from irritation or damage. Make sure your routine includes a gentle but effective cleanser, a hydrating moisturiser and an SPF. It is also suggested to involve vitamin C in your routine at the start of the day to brighten your skin and boost collagen.
Skin Flooding
Hydration is vital when it comes to taking care of your skin, which is why this new method of locking in moisture is so popular this new year, especially in colder climates. Skin flooding is where you apply lightweight layers of hydrating products such as moisturiser and hyaluronic acid to the skin to ensure high hydration levels, leading to happy and healthy skin.
If you want to try skin flooding, follow these few steps to see the best results:
- Apply a gentle cleanser to the skin, double cleanse if desired.
- After this, allow the skin to stay damp before applying the crucial step of hyaluronic acid.
- Lock all of this in with your favourite moisturiser immediately after the hyaluronic acid whilst the skin is still damp, or you can apply it after dabbing your skin dry.
A spokesperson from Ethos Aesthetics and Wellness commented: “The world of skincare can be complicated and daunting, and with a constant cycle of new products and trends taking over social media, it can be tricky to know who to listen to, which products to use and how to use them.”
