Instead of waiting for Jan. 1, to start your new skincare routines and New Year’s Resolutions, why not get ahead of the game and have the best skin of your life before the year ends?
These three upcoming 2025 skincare trends combine forward-focused science and technical knowledge with natural skincare products like clear sunscreen and holistic vitamin C skincare to help you look and feel beautiful from the inside out and the outside in.
Ready to start 2025 off with your best skincare success yet?
Trend #1: Protect Your Skin From UV Rays and Artificial Blue Light
Did you know the average person spends roughly seven hours or more in front of screens each day? Since the harmful effects of the sun’s UVA and UVB rays on the skin are well known, this year is likely to see an influx of skincare products designed with ingredients to keep your skin safer from the artificial light emitted from your phone, tablet, computer, and TV.
What is blue light?
Blue light is a high-energy visible light with wavelengths from 400 to 500 nanometers on the visible light spectrum. During the day, this blue light can improve your mood, energize you, and regulate your body’s circadian rhythm, but it can also be detrimental to your skin with long-term, close, continued exposure.
While blue light from the sun’s UVA and UVB rays is more potent, spending more time each day near digital screens, LED lights, and fluorescent lighting may lead to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone, inflammation, and redness.
The good news?
Using an SPF 30 gel clear sunscreen containing antioxidants like vitamin C and vitamin E with a vitamin C or a hyaluronic acid serum may help protect your skin from the sun and screens you are exposed to each day by neutralizing free radicals in both forms of light. These products may reduce your skin’s oxidative stress, strengthen your skin barrier, and give you happy, healthy, and glowing skin.
Trend #2: Filter-Free, Wellness-Driven Holistic Skincare
2025 will see a continuation in the rise of natural beauty and holistic wellness trends that bring mental, spiritual, and physical health together and allow you to achieve a healthier, happier, and more fulfilled life. This year will continue to prioritize natural, filter-free beauty and holistic skincare that goes further than skin deep to promote your ultimate holistic health and well-being.
Want to embark on a skincare experience that will invigorate your senses, sink into your skin, and make you feel as beautiful as you look? For inspiration, jumpstart your 2025 holistic skincare with this refreshing, healing, and soothing routine:
- Cleanse Your Skin: Cleanse your skin to remove makeup and debris with a vitamin C cleanser containing antioxidants like vitamins A, C, and E. Combining these antioxidants will support healthy skin growth while smoothing and brightening your skin.
- Hydrate with a Vitamin C Facial Serum: Apply one to two pumps of serum to your face and neck for a powerfully hydrating combination of vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and antioxidants to smoothen and brighten your skin even more. This step also locks in hydration and helps defend your skin from environmental factors and stressors.
- Protect Your Skin with Quality SPF 30: After cleansing and hydrating your skin, remember to wrap up your skincare routine with a clear sunscreen filled with vitamin C, vitamin E, green tea, and plant-based squalene to further protect your skin from UV rays and artificial light.
Self-Care Bonus: Want to make the most of your holistic skincare routine? Make it special and treat yourself to a hydrating sheet mask containing amino acids, aloe vera, and antioxidants as you relax with calming music, aromatherapy, and your favorite soothing beverage to create a multi-sensory experience that provides the perfect indoor wellness retreat.
Trend #3: The Future of Epigenetic, Microbiome, and AI Skincare
Each year, advancements in science and technology seem to advance other industries. This coming year, these advancements may even find their way into the skincare industry to support personalized, health-focused skincare products. Here’s a breakdown of what these upcoming skincare trends could mean for you.
Epigenetic Skincare
As a broad overview, epigenetic skincare is the science of how skin cells respond to their environment and why one person’s skin cells respond differently than someone else’s. Advancements in this area could inform future skincare products.
While epigenetic skincare is still a relatively new field, it could be a step in the right direction for uncovering what causes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, skin discoloration, blemishes, redness, and more. With this future knowledge and technological advancements, natural skincare products could more deeply solve these skincare concerns and prevent signs of premature aging as this field evolves.
Microbiome-Focused Skincare
Your microbiome is a collection of tiny organisms that live in and on your body. Thanks to these advancements, 2024 saw big improvements in health and wellness, personalized nutrition, and gut health.
When your skin’s microbiome is kept optimally healthy through gentle cleansing, moisturization, a balanced diet, and protection from external stressors like UV exposure, your skin barrier becomes stronger and is better able to reduce skin sensitivity, inflammation, and acne-causing bacteria.
In 2025, probiotic skincare products that support your skin’s microbiome could become more mainstream. You may see serums, lotions, and other products with prebiotics and live cultures designed to give you stronger, healthier, and happier skin.
Skincare Personalized Via AI
Right now, artificial intelligence seems to be everywhere. Soon, it could be advancing skincare as well. Based on its current data, AI technology can analyze skin conditions to some extent, but it hasn’t quite reached the level of offering customized skincare solutions.
As skincare-plus-AI technology evolves, AI could streamline your online shopping experience. It could soon be a helpful tool for analyzing your skin’s specific needs and giving you personalized recommendations on the best vitamin C serum, cleanser, and other skincare products to achieve the flawless, healthy, and glowing skin you deserve.
Whether you want to protect your skin from UV rays and blue light, make your skincare routine a multi-sensory, self-care experience ritual you look forward to each day, or want to learn how to support your skin’s natural microbiome with new updates in skincare, why wait? Do more for your skin in 2024, so you can thrive in 2025.
