If it seems like a new skincare trend shows up in your feed daily or weekly, you’re not wrong! It can be dizzying trying to make sense of the current trends in skincare and separate the worthwhile ones from the ineffectual skincare trends to avoid. We’ve done the footwork for you, decoding and distilling them down to help you understand these latest trends and discover how to do them right with Pevonia.

Double Cleansing vs. Hybrid Cleansers

Double cleansing refers to using an oil based face cleanser followed by a skin type or skin concern-centric formula, typically at the end of the day. Why double cleanse at night? The first cleanse effectively dissolves make-up and sunscreen, while the second face cleanser eradicates oil buildup and refreshes the skin. For an extra deep cleanse and skin-loving start to your clean skincare routine, we recommend taking it one step further with triple cleansing, beginning with a natural eye makeup remover formulated for delicate eye contours and eye health first!

Hybrid Cleansers can be an effective way to streamline your routine. While professionals know that nothing really beats a double cleanse, we also know that you have busy lives. Pevonia’s CleanRefresh™ Foaming Oil Cleanser is a perfect example of this “skinimalism” approach, transforming from an oil cleanser to a foaming cleanser – essentially two cleansers in one! This oil-to-foam formula melts away make-up and impurities with Squalane, Safflower Oil, and gentle cleansing agents, as moisturizing Kombucha and Hyaluronic Acid keep moisture in check. Pevonia’s Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser – a cleanser and exfoliant-in-one – is another fabulous multitasking hybrid cleanser. Whichever path you choose, we’ve got what you need to find your perfect cleanse. Just be sure to select an oil-based cleanser for double cleansing that’s Mineral Oil-free and a Sulfate-free face wash to care for your specific skin concerns for optimal skin health.

Skin Flooding and Slugging 

Trigger warning to anyone who has experienced a flood or has a snail phobia. In truth, the skin flooding trend and slugging aren’t as scary as they sound! The idea here is hydration, hydration, hydration.

Skin flooding is achieved by strategically applying multiple layers of the same or different moisturizing skincare products to maximize the skin’s moisture levels. The ideal skin flooding order is thinner Hyaluronic Acid-based skin flooding products on up to thicker moisturizing formulas, with the goal being to avoid dryness and surface skin dehydration at all costs. Try this Pevonia 4-step skin flooding routine to up your dew quotient:

Step 1: Cleanser - Use a gentle face cleanser, such as the Power Repair® Hydrating Cleanser, rinse, and leave the skin damp.

Step 2: Face Mist - Spritz the Hyaluronic Acid HydraMist™, a 4-in-1 botanical face mist, onto cleansed skin.

Step 3: Face Serum - Apply the Hyaluronic Acid Hydra-Serum with special fragmentation technology for maximum absorbency and an unparalleled moisture infusion.

Step 4: Moisturizers - Finish with a moisturizer enriched with natural Ceramides, such as the Power Repair® Marine Collagen Cream,  RS2 Care Cream, or Lumafirm® Repair Cream - Lift & Glow to lock in moisture. Drier skin types can partake of this trend daily, while oilier skin types may want to adjust their flooding frequency to once or twice weekly. Remember, just like you can only drink so much water to stay hydrated, your skin can only absorb and hold so much water itself.

Pro tip: Avoid silicone-based products, which tend to “pill” when layered.

Slugging is a social media trend that involves slathering skin with thick layers of Petroleum jelly to achieve “glass skin.” As Petrolatum is an occlusive ingredient that can inhibit skin “breathing,” leading to clogged pores and thinning skin, it is one of the top skin care trends to avoid in our book and one of the skincare trends to skip if you have acne!

Face Oils
Bye slugging, hello face oils! The volume of videos showing beauty enthusiasts demonstrating facial massage, face yoga, and gua sha techniques with natural face oils proves they are hot once again – one trend we stand behind for healthy skin and minds! High quality face oils are easily added to any skincare regimen to create today’s coveted glistening look. Pevonia’s face oil for dry skin and sensitivity contains Ceramide-rich lipids, helping lock in moisture, prevent transepidermal water loss, and strengthen the skin barrier. Infused with lavender essential oil, grapefruit essential oil, chamomile essential oil, and rose essential oil, it aligns seamlessly with the growing wellness trend.

Caution: Despite proponents dowsing congested, acneic skin with oils, most aren’t suitable for skin with blemishes, placing them on our list of skin care trends to avoid if you have acne prone skin. Those who are breakout-prone will fare better with specially formulated products for acne prone skin.

Milky Skincare
Despite milk trending down, milky skincare products are all the rage! You can still get your “milk” on with these “milk alternatives” from Pevonia:

1. Our Sensitive Skin Cleanser is the ultimate water-soluble milky cleanser – suitable for make-up wearers and oily skin types. This lightly textured, calming formula gently and thoroughly rids the skin of impurities, leaving no filmy residue.
2. Our Vitamin C serum and Retinol serum perfectly exemplify the milky serum trend, plus remind us of a creamy orange juice or lemonade with all of the antioxidant goodness!

Skinimalism

The skinimalism beauty trend combines skincare and minimalism, focusing on a back-to-basics mindset. Instead of overloading your vanity, it sticks to a simple skin care routine with no more than three to four products. The philosophy is “less is better” instead of “more is better,” focusing on effective skincare essentials that ensure skin has what it needs and nothing more. Beyond a cleanser, moisturizer, sunscreen, and either a bonus serum or eye cream, the rest is extra! This simplified minimalist approach is ideal for sensitive and acne-prone skin, easily overwhelmed by too many ingredients and layers. This trend keeps reinventing itself as skin streaming, extreme streamlining, blandification, and so on, giving birth to hybrid products which help whittle down overinflated routines.

Hybrid Formulas

Skincare makeup hybrids, like the hybrid cleansers previously mentioned, serve as multitasking, multi-purpose time saving beauty hacks. Pevonia’s YouthRenew™ Tinted Cream, a tinted moisturizer with sunscreen minerals, functions as a natural moisturizer, concealer, redness-reducer, make-up, and skin protector, surpassing traditional cc creams. Pair it with our EyeRenew™ Conceal & De-Age, an imperfection-concealing and moisturizing eye cream that blurs dark circles, redness, and fine lines, for the ultimate time saving beauty routine!

Sunscreen Trends

Mineral-based sun protection formulas and sunscreen makeup products are this year’s top sun care trends. Earth and health-conscious consumers are gravitating towards titanium dioxide and zinc oxide for numerous reasons. These ocean-safe sunscreen formulas protect our coral reefs while shielding our skin from UV rays and early skin aging and safeguarding our health. Sunscreen makeup hybrids and sunscreen moisturizer combos are exceptionally popular as they feel like skincare and streamline beauty routines, while protecting against sun damage.

Lip Products

As people veer away from lip injections and over-full-looking pouts in favor of a more natural look and approach to beauty, at-home lip treatments and lip balm formulas are booming. Pevonia’s Micro-Retinol® Collagen & Retinol Lip Repair Kit includes an effective line smoothing, plumping serum, and lip mask for a naturally luscious pucker! This, combined with our Petrolatum-free Shea Butter Rapid Restore Lip Balm, will keep you and your lips the talk of the town!
