With so many new and unique trends popping up on a regular basis, it's difficult to keep track. We've listed the most booming trends for you.
Are you focusing on environmentally friendly skin care products? Or do you want to improve the health and beauty of your skin?
Sustainable skin care is in vogue
Companies in the skincare industry know that customers want more than just a great feeling on their skin. Today's well-informed customer also wants to feel good about their environmental choices. That's why sustainable skincare will play a big role in some of the hottest trends in the future!
Sustainable skincare focuses on a model that has the most positive impact on the environment. For example, unnecessary packaging and lack of recyclability are a major problem that many companies are trying to solve.
Companies will use less single-use plastic in the future. Instead, they will rely on fully recyclable and reusable materials.
McKinsey and Company conducted a public all-ages survey on sustainability. More than 66% of respondents said sustainability is an important factor when purchasing products. A second survey aimed at millennials found that 75% of them are environmentally conscious, with it at the top of their list of concerns.
Therefore, use reusable packaging such as glass bottles, glass cups and lotion bottles. This way, both companies and consumers contribute to sustainable skin care. Even if the product is changed, the container can be cleaned with a 2% bleach solution. This ensures cleanliness.
Recyclable packaging will also become more and more of a trend in the future. Glass and metal can be easily recycled and reused. Some forms of plastic can also be recycled.
If you buy products in plastic packaging, look for a label on the bottom of the container. It can be PETE, HDPE or PET plastic. All of these plastics are highly recyclable.

Trying Skin Cycling
Another trend you're seeing more and more is skin cycling. This term was originally coined by New York dermatologist Whitney Bowe MD. The concept has been around for some time. The term is new. It's becoming more and more common in the skincare and beauty world.
Skin cycling means that you use your products on different days, but also plan rest days. Our brain and body need sleep and rest to function well. Our skin also benefits from rest days.
Schedule a "rest day" once or twice a week. On that day, do not apply any skin care products. On the other days, apply the products daily or twice a day.
This helps:
your bare skin to produce natural oils
recover from a rough peeling the day before
to avoid the risk of irritation and inflammation caused by repeated use of certain products
Choose your preferred exfoliator to begin a skin cycle protocol. Choose a topical retinoid. Choose a fragrance-free moisturizer. Dermatologists recommend a classic four-night skin cycle.
On the first day, use your peel in the evening before going to bed. On the second day, use your retinoid at about the same time in the evening before going to bed.
On the third night, apply your moisturizer. The fourth night is a rest night without products. Repeat the process or schedule a different cycle with your dermatologist. Find out what works best for you.
Embrace your emotional beauty
Emotional beauty is a trendy term that will be on everyone's lips in the future. It has been a tough time for the population. We know that anxiety and stress can affect the way your skin looks and feels. It can also lead to feelings of burnout.
Emotional beauty focuses on inner emotional balance. It's about how to use the body's natural regulatory system. When you feel good, you become more aware of your body. Then you can start to improve your physical and emotional beauty.
Emotional beauty is a term. It refers to how you achieve mental clarity. Also, inner harmony between your mind and your body.
You can meditate or not. There are ways to stay emotionally beautiful. These ways apply all year round.
Enjoy microbiome-friendly skin care
The next trending idea is microbiome-friendly skincare. We know that this term may seem unfamiliar. We had to do our own research.
Your skin has a natural biome. It contains helpful bacteria, viruses and fungi. Similar to the biome of your gut, it is responsible for gut health.
When this biome becomes unbalanced, acne and other blemishes can appear on the skin. Focus on a microbiome-friendly skincare routine that takes care of your skin's natural biome to try and prevent acne breakouts and blemishes from developing.
The first key terms you hear when exploring microbiome-friendly skincare are prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotics.
Each term plays an important role in skin health. This includes the strength of the skin barrier. This is how you can maintain the health of your skin in the long term.
prebiotics
Prebiotics are dietary supplements. They are intended for microorganisms and beneficial bacteria. These are part of the skin's natural microbiome. Ingredients such as oat extract or thermal water are well-known prebiotics that stimulate the growth of natural good bacteria.
probiotics
Probiotics are microorganisms. They can be present on your skin and in your body. They are often associated with foods that support healthy digestion.
The microflora is microscopically small. It works together with other microorganisms. This helps to positively change the microbiome of your skin.
postbiotics
This is a byproduct of probiotics. It is similar to a seasoning that turns a good soup into a great one. These bacterial products are not viable.
They increase the activity of microorganisms in the skin's natural microbiome. This promotes the growth of good bacteria. At the same time, the growth of bad bacteria is restricted.
Although they can be used individually, this trio of biotics creates a healthy space for the growth of beneficial microorganisms.
In short, prebiotics can be compared to a flowerbed with a perfect mix of soil and fertilizer. Probiotics are the seeds and plants that you should best grow. And postbiotics are the end result of the care.
