As we step into 2024, the skincare industry continues to evolve, bringing forward new trends that prioritize both efficacy and natural wellness. Here's a look at the top five skincare beauty trends that are shaping the way we care for our skin this year.

Whether you're simplifying your routine with multifunctional products or exploring the latest advancements in anti-aging, 2024 is all about finding what works best for your complexion.

Remember, skincare is a personal journey, and what matters most is finding products and routines that make you feel confident and cared for.

Glowing, Healthy Complexions

First and foremost, you’re going to love the skin you’re in this year. Imagine that cleansing, glowing feeling you have when you leave the yoga studio or when you take a walk on a warm, mild afternoon. We’re not talking about glistening with sweat and flushed like you are after you go for a run or after a particularly hard spin class; we’re talking about a healthy, clean, bright glow.

That’s the look that you’re going for in 2024 for your complexion. A spritz of dewy moisturizer or an all-day hydrating serum with natural mineral makeup will do the trick to give you this year’s flawless face.

Let Your Eyeliner Take Wing and Fly

Over the past few years, we’ve seen black eyeliner make a real comeback, and this year is no different. Instead of settling for a thin, defining line or even just a little flip at the corner, go all-out with the full cat-eye appeal.

We’re seeing thick black eyeliner with dramatic wings all over the runways and the streets this year. Have fun with this gorgeous and straightforward eye makeup trend.

The Lips Have It

While trends in eye makeup may be bold and black, your lips are going to stand out this year. Brilliant crimsons and shades of dark berry are everywhere. No single tone is coming out as 2024’s real “it” color; instead, anything goes, as long as it’s bright and brilliant.

On that note, matte shades are still very much in for 2024, but we are starting to see some glossy and shiny colors coming back, too. Whatever you do with your lip color this year, make sure you make a statement. Your face can be almost naked, and your eyes can be monochromatic, but keep those lips popping!

Come Undone Hair

We’re loving how free and flowing the hair trends are this year, too. You’ll be seeing a lot of half-up ‘dos, messy ponytails, bobby pins barely holding the hair in place, and braids are everywhere this year, too. Long hair in Ombre colors with an air-dried texture is dominating the runway for spring, summer, and fall in 2024.

To get this year’s it-girl hair, wash, towel dry, through a few bobby pins in to keep it (halfway) out of your face, and you’ll be ready to go. Long-haired ladies can add volume and waves without any product or fuss by going to bed with your tresses still damp.

If sleeping on wet hair makes you feel like the bride of Frankenstein in the morning, you can always towel dry your hair after you shampoo and condition it when you wake up. And, of course, if you’re running short on time, you can use your blow dryer to get it halfway there and let it air dry the rest of the way for a similar effect.

A New Beauty Superfood

As far as superfoods that help us look and feel better, we’ve all been on the kale bandwagon for a few years now, but it’s not the only one out there. This year, to get your face glowing and your metabolism going! Try the top 5 beauty trends and even to cure a hangover now and then – munch on some artichokes. They’re high in all of the vitamins and nutrients your face and body crave for rejuvenation and replenishment.

Stay tuned to the latest developments and always consult with skincare professionals when trying new products or ingredients.
