1. Multi-Use Products
This year, people have been looking for products that go above and beyond (and take up less space on their bathroom shelf). ‘During the pandemic, many skincare products became very targeted and specific as consumers looked to heal skin concerns like ‘maskne’ or dry skin from staying at home in low-humidity environments,’ explains Ada Ooi, TCM practitioner and the founder of 001 Skincare. ‘As life has become busier, this year has seen an increase in interest around multi-purpose products that are less time-consuming but just as potent in healing and protecting the skin – which is a trend that will continue into 2023 as more people look to a simplified yet effective skincare routine.
‘Products like cleansers that both exfoliate and cleanse are a must. The 001 Skincare Exfoliating and Conditioning Gel Cleanser, for example, gets rid of makeup and impurities whilst working as a natural peel with active ingredients like salicylic and lactic acid, and the Alpha Glow Flash Facial Serum-Primer-Mask acts as a powerful 3-in-1 serum, primer and mask hybrid that mimics the effects of a power facial with regular use,’ says Ada.
2. Eastern Medicine
With the popularity of holistic wellness hitting new heights in 2022, expect to see this trend continue to thrive into the new year – but this time through a more global lens. ‘With more people adopting a holistic approach to wellness, the rise of interest in traditional Chinese medicine and ancient practices has increased, with many people looking to herbs and plant extracts to treat their skin concerns,’ says Ada. ‘Not only do these ingredients work on an external level, but they aim to treat the skin on a cellular level, as well as helping to de-stress and calm the mind. Green tea is a fabulous example of a TCM ingredient currently trending in skincare that has a huge amount of benefits. Containing polyphenols, natural compounds that reduce inflammation, as well as EGCG, natural antioxidants that help prevent cell damage, green tea makes for a highly beneficial anti-wrinkle formula.
