Summer 2022 is here for us to enjoy, but right around the corner is Autumn, and along with it comes a whole new set of skincare trends. We’ve been looking into these so that you can stay ahead of the curve, and stay skincare savvy throughout the year.
From less is more, to double cleansing and eye rejuvenation, we’re here to walk you through the top 5 predicted skincare trends for Autumn 2022.
Double Cleansing
Cleanse not once, but twice! Increasing your sunscreen use, the rise in temperatures and perspiration over Summer may have left you with congested skin. As the temperature lowers and Autumn sets in you may start to notice excess oil production as your skin adjusts to cooler weather. To keep oily skin at bay, double cleansing is a go-to, and a trend for Autumn this year.
After you have cleansed your skin once, repeat the cleansing process again straight afterwards. This can be done 2-3 times per week and will help to reduce blemishes, blackheads and excess sebum.
It is vital not to double cleanse with a harsh cleanser, something more mild, but still potent like the Obagi CLENZIderm M.D.® Daily Care Foaming Cleanser will work great! This cleanser contains 2% salicylic acid, a powerhouse skincare ingredient proven to unclog pores, reduce blemishes and exfoliate away dead skin cells. This ingredient makes this cleanser the perfect Obagi BHA product.
Eye Rejuvenation
It doesn’t look like face masks are going away anytime soon. Lockdown restrictions and COVID-19 PPE left a lot of us wondering how we can brighten and rejuvenate our eye area. Summer came along and having fun was at the forefront of our minds, making Autumn the perfect time to target eye area concerns.
Why not try the Obagi ELASTIderm® Eye Complete Complex Serum, this serum contains the advanced, patented Bi-Mineral Contour Complex™ Technology which creates, converts and organises elastin in the skin to give you a firmer, more youthful appearance. Alongside this, the ELASTIderm® Eye Serum reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and contains caffeine to increase microcirculation and reduce under-eye puffiness, for a brighter more awakened look.
Less Is More
This Autumn, skincare trends will feature around creating a natural, radiant glow, for a ‘less is more’ look. The aim of the game is to use fewer, more concise products to create maximum results. Throughout the past year we’ve learnt that time is not to be wasted, so let’s not waste time with skincare products that aren’t going to get results – this Autumn get a skincare routine that will deliver for your skin type. Aren’t sure where to start? We’ve got the skincare duo for you!
The Obagi360® range includes potent products to address fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged pores, breakouts, pigmentation, uneven texture and dull skin. This product range is perfect for skincare newbies, or those looking for a refined skincare routine.
The Obagi Retinol 0.5 and HydraFactor® Broad Spectrum SPF30 make the perfect skincare duo for Autumn 2022. The two products work in unison to help you achieve more hydrated, even skin, minimising blemishes and refining tone and texture.
97% of patients using the Obagi360® System saw an improvement in their skin within the first week of use.
Skin Brightening
With sunscreens and humid weather it can make it difficult to achieve that dewy, radiant look without appearing oily or shiny, there is a very fine line! With Autumn almost here it’s time to change up your skincare routine to refine your skin, and create a luminous natural glow.
The holy grail ingredient for skin brightening is vitamin C, also known as l-ascorbic acid (this is the purest form of vitamin C). Selecting a serum with this ingredient is sure to boost your skin’s radiance.
We’d recommend the Obagi-C® Fx C-Clarifying Serum, a potent antioxidant serum containing 10% l-ascorbic acid and 4% arbutin. This luxury serum works to diminish hyperpigmentation, so if over summer you’ve spent a little too long in the sun and developed a few pigmentation patches, or if you have any age spots you’d like to fade, this serum is what you’re looking for.
The Obagi-C® Fx C-Clarifying Serum will reduce fine lines and wrinkles, boost collagen production, protect against free radical damage and give you that sought after, natural boost of radiance, so you can feel glowing and fresh all autumn long.
Lightweight Hydrators
Lightweight hydrators will be at the top of skincare wishlists this Autumn, after a Summer of applying thicker sunscreens and make-up it is important to rehydrate your skin. Following the less is more trend, super hydrating multi-functioning serums are in!
The Obagi Daily Hydro-Drops™ Facial Serum is a perfect choice, and works to hydrate the skin whilst also targeting fine lines and wrinkles. This hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic serum contains omega-6, omega-6, niacinamide and abyssinian and hibiscus oils. This carefully selected blend of ingredients will help to support the skin’s natural barrier function, improving moisture retention, deeply hydrate, reduce pore size and protect against free radicals – so you feel hydrated and refreshed.
