If you’re new to the wonderful world of skincare, you might get lost between all the brands, ingredients and skincare products that are on the market. And honestly, we don’t blame you. The amount of available products out there can be overwhelming and truthfully, when you’re not a skincare expert it might be even more difficult to make the right decision. As summer is approaching rapidly, now more than ever is the time to fully prepare your skin for the warmer months ahead. To help you out on this, we have gathered the top five summer skincare trends that you definitely cannot miss out on this summer 2022.
1. Tech & beauty
To start our top five off, let’s talk about the rise of technology within the beauty industry. As we are all aware of, technology is increasing in arguably most areas in life. But in the past few years, many technological beauty products were introduced into the market. Have you seen the facial cleanser devices that every influencer seems to be using these days? They are small, oval-shaped devices with silicone brush nubs that are designed to thoroughly cleanse your face. You simply apply a bit of facial cleanser onto the device, switch it on and it will massage the cleansing gel or foam into your skin. Not only a great feeling, but also a great way to get all of the build-up dirt off your skin!
2. Full skincare systems
Whereas before, you might have whipped on a moisturiser and be done for the day, we are now upping our skincare game. A seven-step skincare routine is no exceptionality these days as people are starting to use full skincare systems. If you’re keen on targeting a specific skincare concern, such as hyperpigmentation or acne, you will find that the most results are achieved when using a full Obagi skincare kit. The products in these kits are formulated to work synergistically, meaning each product is carefully created to work with the products used before and after it.
3. Retinol
If you don’t have a retinol product in your bathroom cabinet yet, it’s time to get this silver bullet. Retinol is a form of Vitamin A that is widely used in skincare products. Retinol belongs to a group of Vitamin A derivatives, known as retinoids. The benefits of retinol products are outstanding, as they have proven to improve your complexion, diminish fine lines and wrinkles and fade acne spots on your skin. As we said, a miracle worker. SUZANOBAGIMD Retivance® Skin Rejuvenating Complex is a retinol cream that has been formulated to minimise the signs of ageing whilst also improving your skin’s overall texture and tone. A must-have for summer 2022, if you ask us.
4. Superfoods for your skin
Wait, this isn’t skincare, it’s about food… Well, technically yes, but a couple of superfoods have actually proven to be effective in treating skincare problems. Our favourite superfood for the skin has to be Vitamin C. Whereas we often see Vitamin C in skincare products, it can also be consumed as food or drinks to improve your skin. Skinade offers collagen drinks that contain Vitamin C to boost your skin’s natural collagen production to diminish fine lines and wrinkles. As you get older, your skin’s collagen production will slow down, which will in time result in signs of ageing. To prevent this from happening or slow down the process, collagen drinks can be consumed. How cool is that?
5. Maskne treatments
Maskne, a word that was born last year, when the pandemic first started to flare up. We have been wearing face masks for over a year now and that has clearly impacted some people’s skin. If you’re struggling with acne breakouts and irritations around your chin from wearing a face mask, we call this Maskne. In 2022, a lot more skincare products are focused on treating Maskne and this will continue to be a trend in summer 2022. Hopefully, Maskne will soon be a skin concern of the past!
