Introduction
While 2021's skincare routine looked brilliant, 2022 sure looks more splendid. It isn’t enough to rely on primers and highlighters for a fresh glow, we want efficient actives and hero ingredients to rejuvenate our skin at a more meaningful level. Let’s talk Retinol, fermented ingredients, DSP-TX Complex , Vitamin C, Ceramides, BHAs and AHA's, etc. Although it can still be fun to experiment with new ingredients or switch up the products in your routine with new formulas from buzzy brands or the ones taking over your social media feeds, but what does the new year have in store for us?
We’re doing the skincare trend predictions for 2022 and here’s the ultimate list for you to follow!
1. Simple Skincare: Always remember less is more
Contrary to the extensive 10+ steps skincare routine, we're seeing a shift towards simpler and time-evasive regimes which will work well for us in 2022. Trust us, we know it's difficult to whittle your stock of skincare products down to just the essentials. But just like with your closet, it's critical to clean out and update your beauty regime every now and then. Knowing the few products that truly work for your skin is paramount in curating an efficient routine.
2. Cryotherapy: Cool it down, like never before!
Now, similar to other alternative therapies, like face yoga and acupuncture, cryotherapy is becoming a part of facial treatments, and works specifically on our complexions. Cryotherapy means ‘cold therapy.’ In this facial treatment your skin is exposed to subzero temperatures for a few minutes with freezing pods, giving a cold shock to the skin, which sends fresher blood to the targeted area. Good blood circulation ensures better oxygen delivery, resulting in detoxified skin. You’re finally left with a plumped and refreshed skin, within minutes.
Sublime recommends-Isa Ice Therapy- Therapy with Ice
Isa Ice Therapy accompanied with cryotherapy takes inspiration from the magical and resourceful nature combined with scientific technology. Rich fixations and best fixings lie behind treatments contrived in view of the advanced ladies.
