1. The rise of skin minimalism:

In the day of social media, we constantly come across hundreds of skincare routines and products. But do we need them all? Let’s say you need a moisturizer, but will you buy three because an influential person recommends them? When skincare routines can start in the morning and end at night, we need a deal breaker, a one-right action taken for your skin. Here’s where skin minimalism comes into the picture. Skin minimalism is all about minimalism in your beauty and makeup routines and is based on a less-is-more philosophy that produces results that are just as good as (or even better than) a lengthy routine. Skin minimalism emphasizes the rejection of beauty ideals and the concept of ‘covering up’ or ‘fixing flaws.’ Skin minimalism inspires you to go #unfiltered and embrace your true, gorgeous self. After years of cleansing and step-by-step nighttime routines, a year of makeup-free quarantine living has prepared you perfectly for skin minimalism.

You need to invest in 3 products instead of 10. Be realistic and adapt to these minimal products.

● Cleansers

● Moisturizers

● Sunscreen

The above three products will take care of your skin and make you feel light yet wonderful.

2. DIY skincare- the eternal skincare trend:

Did you know that the ancient Romans and Greeks believed in the anti-aging powers of crocodile dung and rubbed it on themselves? Well, our DIY routine doesn’t need to be that extensive (gross rather!) It is critical to keep the skin moisturized and hydrated to maintain well-being. Because harsh cleansers can affect the skin's outer layer, natural skincare ingredients can relieve irritated skin while preventing clogged pores and skin damage. Here are 3 DIY skincare routines that will come to your rescue at any time.

● Honey

Honey is a natural moisturizer; regularly apply 1-2 tablespoons of honey to the face and neck to prevent wrinkles.

● Rosewater

Rose is a natural refrigerant that is also soothing to the skin. 2 teaspoons of rose water and half a teaspoon of lime juice. Apply this mixture to your face with a cotton pad and repeat every other day to naturally cleanse and refresh your skin.

● Eggs

When you combine egg whites and yogurt, you get the ideal combination for clearing out blocked-up skin pores.

3. Gender-neutral skincare:

We live in the 21st century, where men and women are seen as equals in all aspects. Why leave skincare behind? Instead of using a face wash or moisturizer that may not suit your skin type but is commercialized toward men or women, gender-neutral products allow you to focus on the specifics of your skin. Many skincare companies use colorful, flowery packaging for female products and minimalist, dark-colored packaging for male hormonal acne and other skin issues. Why is there such a distinction based on gender? Testosterone stimulates oil production, but did you know that everyone, not just men, has some of this hormone in their bodies? Choose what’s best for you. For example, people with sensitive skin may benefit from a subtle organic face wash that does not use harsh chemicals to remove oils. People with dry skin can benefit from using a cleanser that hydrates as it washes, ensuring that their skin is as moisturized as possible. Start developing a routine that includes products tailored to your skin type, and you'll be much more likely to see favorable impacts than if you stick to pink or blue items from big brands or stores.

4. Personalized skincare:

Do you have the impression that there isn't a single product ideal for your skin? You've tried to mix and match products and trial-and-error methods, but nothing appears to work. The beauty industry may have the solution for you. Personalized skincare is all the rage right now, and it's easy to see why. A whole personalized formula to suit your skincare needs is fascinating. Of course, you must consider a good lifestyle, diet, sleep, and fitness routine, but skin specialists design personalized skin care, especially for your needs. The concept of personalized skincare is constantly evolving and broadening. First, we were given moisturizers designed specifically for our skin. Now there are washes, night serums, sunscreens, and so on.

Here are four steps to personalize your skincare product:

Step 1- Take your skin quiz on the website.

Step 2- An expert will call you and take your details.

Step 3- They will present you with a custom formula.

Step 4- They will deliver the formula to your doorstep.

Happy skin-caring with your personalized product.

5. Compostable package- the need of the hour:

We are so particular about our skincare regime. We don’t miss out on any trending skincare products or DIY routines. Pray-tell, why are we missing out on compostable packaging for these products? Compostable packaging is environmentally friendly and can be composted at home or in an industrial composting facility. It comprises compostable plant material such as corn and a compostable plastic known as poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) or PBAT. PBAT produces a tough but flexible material that composts and biodegrades quickly into natural, non-toxic elements that nourish the soil. Unlike plastic packaging, certified compostable packaging decomposes in 3-6 months, the same time it takes for organic matter to decompose.

Advantages of using compostable packaging-

● Opportunity to break free from plastic.

● Customers want environmentally friendly packaging.

● Reduces shipping costs.

● Improves the brand image.

● Join the growing ecopreneur community.

● It is simple to switch to compostable packaging.

We hope this blog is a wake-up call for anyone who has doubts about skincare trends and routines. Skincare is all about positivity and self-love. Use the products that suit you the best.
