Amazon
As the "less is more" skincare philosophy becomes more popular, I believe we will be seeing our good friend, squalane oil, in a lot of new products. Squalane oil is just a great, gentle ingredient for a majority of people. It's super light for people with oily skin and nourishing enough to provide adequate moisture for dryer skin. As taking care of our skin in minimalistic and gentle manners becomes more common, a skin barrier friendly oil like this one is sure to become super popular.

Amazon
As skincare routines become more popular, more and more people are realizing the obvious reality of your scalp having skin too, and it benefitting from a skincare routine of its own! Getting hair serums will help protect and nourish your scalp and help it grow beautiful, luscious locks in the long term.
See it on AmazonCBD Lotions For Pain Relief and Moisturization
Amazon
Pain relief doubling as a body cream is what makes CBD body lotions so alluring. This trend has been slowly percolating over the years but I don't feel like it's going anywhere soon. Keep your eye out for this trend to grow even more during 2022.
See it on AmazonMore Foundations With Sunscreen
Amazon
I feel like we're going to see a lot more foundations being formulated with sunscreen filters in the coming year. What could be easier for our beauty routine than to have our foundations be filled with protective ingredients? Skipping our sunscreen step on the days we put on a whole face of makeup seems extremely convenient for everyone!

Amazon
Exfoliating is a great way to combat a variety of skin issues. However, too much exfoliation can cause more problems than it solves and irritate the skin. As we move towards more minimalistic skincare practices, I predict we will see an increase of gentler exfoliating acids on the market, such as PHA. I expect to see this amazing ingredient in a lot more products!
See it on AmazonBold Neon Eyeliner
Amazon
Recently we've been seeing a lot more neon colors on the runway in regards to eye makeup. I wouldn't be surprised if we happen to see a lot of fun neon eyeliners in stock soon! Black eyeliner is a classic but I'm not upset if we decide to bring the whole rainbow to the party.
See it on AmazonBakuchiol As A Retinol Alternative
Amazon
Retinol is a great product for a variety of skin concerns, but it can be quite irritating and intense for some. Recently bakuchiol, a gentle and vegan retinol alternative, has popped up everywhere as a way to combat the usual struggles with retinol. While it might not completely replace the all poweful retinol, it's providing an amazing alternative for those with super sensitive skin and has shown to produce a lot of similar results!
See it on AmazonCeramide Heavy Moisturizers
Amazon
Ceramides do a great job at holding the skin together and forming layers on the skin to keep in moisture and reduce the impact of environmental stressors. Having ceramide heavy moisturizers on the market will be a great trend as we head into the colder and dryer months leading up new years day!
See it on AmazonSimple And Light Natural-Looking Blush
Amazon
While a lot of bold makeup trends are arising, there is still a popular sub-category for the "naturally flawless" look that is continuing to be popular for achieving that effortless everyday look. Some subtle blushes like the ones from the Rare Beauty line are great additions for that glamorous "I woke up like this" look.
See it on AmazonHeat Protectant For Healthy Hair
Amazon
Self-care has become popularized and normalized over the last few years, and that concept has manifested in the form of skincare, haircare, and personal pampering as well. I believe that as 2022 approaches were going to see an increase in heat protectants for hair as we all begin to take care of ourselves more, even when styling our hair with hot irons.
See it on AmazonA Ton Of New Antioxidant Serums
Amazon
We're starting to learn that antioxidants can possibly provide lots of protection from environmental stressors and also restore damaged skin. Antioxidant serums can be a great protective supplement alongside your daily sunscreen step.

Amazon
For 2022, I declare: no more picking, scratching or squeezing on any blemish on the skin. I know a hard habit to break and almost feels necessary, but trust me it always does more harm than good. Let it be, and just cover it with a spot treating cream instead. In a few days, it’ll heal on its own.
See it on AmazonAdorable And Beautifully Packaged Skincare
Amazon
As skincare becomes more synonymous with self-care, I think we might see a lot more adorably packaged skincare, like this TONYMOLY eye serum. It seems like most people get more enjoyment and personal satisfaction when their skincare routine feels more like a special treat, rather than simply a routine.
See it on AmazonTinted Moisturizers For Achieving That “No Makeup” Makeup Look
Amazon
As the “No Makeup” makeup look becomes more sought out, I think we’ll be seeing a lot more of these tinted moisturizers. Tinted moisturizers do a great job of giving your skin some glow like foundation does, without obviously looking like you’re wearing a full coverage foundation.
See it on AmazonFacial Mists For All-Day Hydration
Amazon
Adequate moisture is super beneficial for the health of your skin. Realizing that, I think people might try to carry around facial mists in their bags as they go about their days. I mean who doesn’t like getting an occasional spritz of moisture throughout the long day? Plus, it’s super convenient to use in middle of the day as a skincare reapplication shortcut like when you’re finished working out at the gym.
See it on AmazonPeptides In Skincare
Amazon
Peptides are the building blocks of certain proteins required by the skin. Using a skincare product that is formulated with specific peptides can help produce firmer and healthier-looking skin. Peptides aren't strictly new to the skincare industry but I hope to see them explode in 2022!
See it on AmazonUnder Eye Patches For That At Home Spa Treatments
Amazon
Under Eye Patches are nice little additions for a skincare routine for that little extra cherry on top. I specifically love using them when you put them in fridge to cool down before use. The cool feeling is extremely soothing and calming to the skin and makes me feel extra pampered.
See it on AmazonGlitter Everywhere!
Amazon
We’ve been seeing a lot more “shiny” embellishments, in terms of makeup and hair, on the runway lately. While people on the runway are typically using a little more expensive sparkly accessories on their faces and hair, I think it would be cool if we see the return of hair and body glitter because of that trend.
See it on AmazonLip Masks For An Extremely Plump Pout
Amazon
Going to bed with that extra bit of nourishment of a lip mask will make sure your lips are never chapped in the morning and will support your skin’s regeneration process while sleeping. I think these are going to become increasingly more of a hit over time when people see the results these bring!
See it on AmazonTons And Tons Of Hand Moisturizer
Amazon
For extremely necessary reasons we’ve been washing our hands a lot these past few years. Excessive washing does, however, dry our hands out quickly over time. A heavy hand cream will do a good job at restoring them though. My favorite hand cream is Neutrogena's Norwegian Formula Hand Cream.
See it on AmazonDay And Night Cream Duos
Amazon
Buying both a day and night cream separately can be a bit expensive, but sometimes your day cream is too light for the night, and sometimes your night cream is too heavy for the day. I'd love to see more single packaged duo creams like this one so we can have the best of both worlds.
See it on AmazonFoot Masks For Cracked Heels
Amazon
I know the idea of skincare for our feet might sound odd to some, but trust me, you’ll feel relieved to soften and remove some of the dead and calloused skin on your feet. Using a foot mask like this should help ease the healing process of the majority of dry heels out there.
See it on AmazonHair Masks For Deep Conditioning
Amazon
We talked about nourishing the scalp, but that doesn't mean we can't provide ample support for our already grown hair as well. Using hair masks like this morocco oil hair mask will deeply condition the hair so that it is softer, smoother, and less prone to breakage. I hope to see these treatments become more widespread.
See it on AmazonPrickly Pear Oil
Amazon
Prickly pear oil is another ingredient known for its soothing properties. It can be especially beneficial for people with dry, sensitive, acne-prone, or inflamed skin. The ingredient is also an excellent anti-aging ingredient that might help improve the general texture and tone of your complexion!
See it on AmazonExtremely Bold And Bright Red Lipstick
Amazon
An oldie, but a goodie, it seems like the classic 50s bright red lip is coming back again! No matter how many times this look becomes a trend, it somehow always manages to feel fresh and new again. Try out this ultra-vibrant red lipstick for this iconic look.
See it on AmazonPlus Probiotic Skincare
Amazon
Some probiotics in skincare could potentially be effective in reducing the number of active skin lesions in regards to acne. They are also thought to manage dry skin and eczema. I've used this Negen probiotic moisturizer before and I've personally found this one very soothing and healing for my skin.
See it on AmazonVolcanic Ash For Intense Skin-Clearing
Amazon
Volcanic ash works just like clay masks do by absorbing sebum, making it a great ingredient for oily, acne-prone skin. I think this specific ingredient's novelty will make it popular in the coming year, especially since it is very similar to clay masks which had their own wave of popularity in the past.
