New report highlights latest skincare and wellness trends

The findings come from The Beauty Triangle, which was founded in 2019 by Francesca Ogiermann-White with the sole mission to "educate and empower audiences on their health and wellbeing".

Its regular events in the UK and the Middle East attempt to create a safe space for open communication and dialogue, while shining a spotlight on the most sought-after practitioners in their respective industries and championing honesty and transparency in beauty.

Five trends from the report 

The rise of neurocosmetics

Within its new report, The Beauty Triangle highlights the latest buzzword in beauty, neurocosmetics, described as "topical products defined by their ability to improve the skin while also having a positive effect on the nervous system".

Aesthetic doctor and dermatologist Dr. Alexis Granite's new brand, Joonbyrd, which she describes as "a synergistic marriage of the sensorial and the scientific", plays into this trend, offering a performance-driven, body-focused range packed with mood-enhancing adaptogens and mushrooms to combat stress, improve microcirculation and boost mood.

Super-sensitive solutions 

Skincare designed to soothe and repair is also on the up, with more and more hi-tech formulations being introduced by brands. It comes as 71% of adults report issues relating to sensitivity.

As part of this, the report highlights the latest addition to oculoplastic surgeon Dr. Maryam Zamani’s MZ Skin line, The Calming Range, which is rich in microbiome-balancing prebiotics, as well as Sarah Chapman’s line-up of skin-focused solutions, including two supercharged serums and a high-strength recovery cream.

Help from home

Demand for at-home services is increasing, with some forward-thinking initiatives providing greater access to experts – without needing to leave the sofa.

Take online platform GetHarley, which matches patients with skin specialists ranging from consultant dermatologists to aesthetic doctors, while prescribing topical solutions that are appropriate to their needs. Other services include Dermatica, Skin + Me and Renude. It also said that at-home devices continue to rise.

A new wave of regeneration 

Biostimulators are trending right now, according to the new report. Designed to trigger the body’s natural healing and rejuvenating capabilities, these powerful products are proven to stimulate the formation of the body’s natural building blocks – like collagen and elastin, hyaluronic acid, and even bone.

"Bioregenerative treatments – such as polynucleotides, exosomes and biostimulatory fillers – are the biggest trend in minimally invasive aesthetics", said oculoplastic surgeon Dr. Sabrina Shah-Desai.

Therapies of the future 

Longevity is also hot topic, with experts emphasising a dynamic approach to ageing.

According to the report, practices worth watching include genetic research and CRISPR (delving into our genetic code to uncover and modify the genes that influence ageing), Senolytics and Cellular Senescence (targeting senescent cells that clutter the system and dampen biological harmony, with the aim of clearing these discordant notes from our body), and Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Therapy (to repair and rejuvenate our bodies at a cellular level, like musicians tuning their instruments).
