The skincare trends we’ll see everywhere in 2022

We noticed it in the course of the year 2021, the skincare took precedence over make-up, in particular because of the health crisis that we have been experiencing for two years and which has prompted us to change our beauty habits. Skin care has regained its essential place in beauty routines. Having become essential in the daily life of the French, skincare trends are more and more followed by fans of beauty and even those who are less fans of it.

To find out what the universe of skincare in 2022, we listened to the predictions of Ultra Beauty’s first trend report, an American company specializing in the distribution of beauty products, but also those of the WGSN, a London-based trend forecasting company, as well as Stylight search engine analyzes. We take stock.

Fermented ingredients

Already present in some beauty products available on the market, fermented actives are expected to be highly sought after by skincare fans in 2022. If the benefits of fermentation are fully exploited in the food industry, the process which is common in the markets Japanese and Korean beauty, will be more present in the world of cosmetics, precisely influenced by J-Beauty and K-Beauty. Why ? Quite simply because the good bacteria have multiple virtues (anti-inflammatory, exfoliating…) and make it possible to reinforce the effectiveness of certain natural active ingredients while respecting the skin flora and improving the conservation of cosmetics. Fermented ingredients “Will abound” therefore in our care in 2022 according to the WGSN.

Scalp care

We saw them multiply at the end of 2021 and it was finally to prepare for the emergence of a new essential care gesture in 2022: scalp care. As the Stylight search engine report indicates, searches for products specifically designed to treat the scalp increased by 70% in November on Google via the keyword “Scalp products”. Scalp scrubs, brushes that stimulate micro-circulation to boost the effectiveness of hair care and growth, and treatments dedicated to small problems of sensitive or irritated scalp are therefore on the way to be democratized in all bathrooms. . A great thing when you know that a healthy scalp is the key to great looking hair.

The Clean beauty

At the heart of our beauty routines for several years now, clean beauty is still one of the essential beauty trends today and will be more relevant than ever next year. Adopt a more responsible consumption of cosmetics, pay attention to the environmental impact of the ingredients present in our creams and more generally to the active ingredients that we apply to our skin, ensure to use products whose packaging is better thought out and produce less waste… so many good reflexes to keep in 2022 to consume less but better, and healthier products. A trend that goes hand in hand with simplified or even minimalist beauty routines.

Vitamin E

After having gained in radiance thanks to vitamin C – the star vitamin of the last twelve months – and having benefited from the spectacular anti-aging effects of retinol, this is another vitamin that we will all want to find in our skincare products. : vitamin E. This natural nutrient, which is able to maintain an optimal level of hydration within the skin while preventing the action of free radicals to keep it looking beautiful and young as long as possible, becomes an essential asset in 2022 Antioxidant, it protects the skin from the harmful effects of pollution and prevents the harmful effects of UVB rays, which allows it to offer anti-aging action. But that’s not all: it also reveals an appreciable healing power for fragile and damaged skin since by boosting the microcirculation, it also accelerates the healing of the skin. The only downside is that the body does not produce a sufficient quantity. It is therefore important to consume it through food and / or apply it to your skin to meet your needs. It did not take less for the care and supplements to vitamin E to be announced as our next favorite products.

Cosmetics without water

Spurred on by the development of solid and powder cosmetics BYOW (Bring Your Own Water), understand to which you must “bring your own water” in order to be able to use them, “Product innovations will reduce water consumption and offer hygiene solutions to one in ten people in the world who do not have access to drinking water” informs us the WGSN. This invisible ingredient in our care should therefore become increasingly rare and products waterless multiply. We will still have to be patient to know to what extent this will impact our daily lives, but there is no doubt that a new approach to hygiene will begin in 2022.

Holistic beauty

For a few years now, we have adopted a more holistic view of beauty that is no longer based solely on appearance and physical characteristics. Not only can skin care be considered both internally (food supplements) and externally (creams, masks, scrubs) but in addition, we are interested in well-being and self-care as a whole. Taking care of your beauty also means taking care of your mental well-being, adopting a healthier lifestyle, taking the time to pamper yourself and adopt a philosophy of life in line with your expectations for your skin, his body or his hair. Where previously we were content to apply a cream to treat wrinkles, we now accompany its application of facial yoga exercises that we will even favor over cosmetics. On the product side, the trend calls for a rigorous selection of brands for their sourcing of assets, the quality of their care but also their values.

Refinery 29. A light and sensory galenic that we know today in the form of face cleansers or shower products but which will offer us a new approach to solar energy next year. A godsend for people who don’t like heavy sunscreens which sometimes tend to clog the pores of the skin.

The cryo beauty

It is known to be effective for deflating bags under the eyes and reducing dark circles, tightening pores, keeping the skin firm and even improving the absorption of creams temporarily: the cold will now make a real place in our beauty routines in 2022. But rather than spending crazy sums on in-office cryotherapy sessions, we’re going to turn to refreshing beauty tools next year. After the boom of jade rollers and natural stone gua sha stones which offer an appreciable fresh effect, we have recently seen the appearance of new massage accessories for the face which take advantage of the benefits of cryotherapy such as cryo face roll-on, cryo spoons or even cryo gua sha thanks to an integrated cooling gel system. What to afford a cryotherapy session at home and at a lower cost.
