Beauty and Skincare Trends Set to Be Big in 2022

There is no denying most of us care about our appearance and like to look good, which is why there is always a strong interest in the latest beauty and skincare trends. 

The 2020s are slated to be a decade of change, exploration, and innovation. And, the beauty and skincare industries are no exception. 

With all this change on the horizon, let's take a look at some beauty and skincare trends that are bound to be big for 2022!

All-things Collagen

Ingestible collagen supplements, collagen enhancing skincare and collagen-boosting cosmetic procedures are set to take off in 2022. 

If you walk down the skincare aisle at your local chemist, you'll probably see the word 'collagen' plastered all over the products. 

And, it is for good reason. 

Collagen is the extraordinary protein that helps keep our skin looking young and healthy. While our bodies naturally produce collagen, as we get older our collagen production decreases, which over time results in frown lines, wrinkles and thinning skin.

If you are a professional wanting to provide collagen-boosting skincare and cosmetic procedures to your clients, ensure you work with a trusted medical aesthetics distributor. 

Big Bold Beautiful Makeup!

It's go bold or go home. Bold makeup looks with colourful eyeliner, bold blush and statement lipstick are all set to be popular in 2022. 

Neutral makeup will take a backseat with metallics and neon also set to be one of the latest trends in 2022. 

Tattoo Makeup and Lip Blushing 

While traditional lip filler isn't going anywhere, pouty lips are going to get some permanent colour in 2022 with lip tattooing and lip blushing set to rise in popularity.

Lip blushing is similar to microblading, except instead of tattooing brows, the tattoo artist adds semi-permanent colour to your lips. The goal is to look as if you are wearing a neutral lip balm and give you a fuller and more symmetrical pout 

According to Yelp's 2022’s Beauty Trend Forecast Report searches for the procedure increased by 130 percent in the last year.

LED Light Masks

While LED light masks are not new to 2022, they will continue to be a popular skincare gadget and grow in popularity.

You've probably seen them all over social media or on a Kardashian-Jenner clan face and wondered how they work. The masks are said to emit varying wavelengths of light, which may reduce inflammation and promote blood circulation. This may help stimulate the body's natural collagen production, which can help give the skin a more youthful appearance. 

Microbiome Skincare

From cleansers and exfoliants to serums, oils and masks, there is no denying we are obsessed with skincare.

Globally the skincare industry is worth nearly $US190 billion and one of the latest trends in the sector is microbiome skincare, which is products infused with probiotics. 

Body Contouring

There is no makeup used in this kind of contouring. 

Throughout the pandemic, a few of us may have put on a few extra kilos and are looking for some non-surgical procedures to help shed the extra weight. According to Yelp, this is just the case as searches for body contouring and non-surgical weight loss procedures increased by 35% over the past year 

The year ahead is set to bring us some bold new makeup looks, increased interest in cosmetic procedures and pouty lips like never before.
