This new trend is defined by not applying the same skincare products, and allowing your skin to have “rest days”. Coined by dermatologist Whitney Bowe, MD, a New York City–based board-certified dermatologist – this method allows active ingredients time to work and alternate products strategically for the best results.

In 2023, we’re going to see a move away from botox towards skin firming treatments that provide similar results without injections. From LED face masks, to facial toning devices – this emerging trend is gaining traction on TikTok.

‘Skinstreaming’ is a new term coined for skin minimalism. As the economy plummets and costs rise, beauty addicts are scaling back their beauty routines. Looking at hashtags such as #minimalistskincare and #basicskincareroutine – this skin trend is gaining momentum on the app.

Whilst this isn’t one to the most prominent emerging trends on the list at the moment, it’s definitely one to watch. Defined by messy makeup, unconventional ‘unpretty’ beauty birthed by Gen-Z’s alliance with dressing for the female gaze (as opposed to the male gaze). With the hashtag ‘femalegaze’ garnering 466.8M views, it’s only a matter of time before it starts to transcend into our makeup.

‘Skinflooding’ is a new simple hack to add a deeper level of moisture to the skin. Instead of drying your face after cleansing, you apply your products onto damp skin for extra hydration. Hydrating mist can also be used in between steps to lock in even more moisture.
