Here, I've put together six skincare and makeup tips I think we'll need to follow in 2022 (as well as a few trends), and how to prep yourself to embrace it all.
Skincare
Layer Upon Moisture
Cooler temps can drain the skin of hydration, deplete our natural moisture barrier, and contribute to developing fine lines and wrinkles. A great way to combat this is to switch to products that are more suited for the season, like a richer moisturizer.
Stop Worrying About Worry Lines
More targeted ingredients, like peptides, will continue to be more common in the new year as they are great at helping to diminish fine lines and wrinkles and also do wonders for increasing moisture levels.
Exfoliation Is Key
Removing the top layer of dead skin cells on the surface of your skin will reveal more radiant fresher skin cells below and help to promote cellular turnover. Whether you're using gentle daily exfoliation or once weekly deep peeling and exfoliating, you will absolutely see results.
Vitamin C Isn't Just Good for Colds
Vitamin C is a powerhouse ingredient that will help diminish dull tired-looking skin and boost a glow worthy of bragging about. Not to mention, vitamin C also helps with dark spots, hydration and firmness — basically everything you want to make your skin look phenomenal.
Makeup
Give Soft Brows a Try
The trend of "social media" style brows — those that are fully drawn in and overly sharp — will be left behind in the New Year. Softer, more natural brows will be huge in 2022 and it's time to embrace them.
Make Your Products Work Overtime
You don't have to use things in just one way. If the paper can become the most luscious lashes ever, then a lipstick can be blush, and blush can be an eyeshadow, and eyeliner can be lipliner, etc.
Beauty is what makes us feel uniquely special. It's art, so be playful!
