My predictions for the biggest beauty buzzwords and trends that you’re going to see everywhere this spring - and the rest of 2022!
Trending Buzzword: “Instant gratification” skincare
The biggest innovations in ckincares this year promise to deliver results in a flash so you see results now, and in the long-run like the Dermalogica New Awaken Peptide Eye Gel. $77, Available at dermalogica spas and dermalogica.ca. It aims to energize your eyes for a more well-rested look with a lightweight gel that hydrates, firms and smooths the delicate skin around our eyes. The gentle formula uses tetrapeptides, caffeine and soothing Rosemary Leaf Extract to minimize puffiness, dark circles and fine lines with no irritation.
Trending Buzzword: Zero-Waste haircare
“Bring your own Water” is having a moment! The latest solid shampoo bars are zero waste and are much more luxe than their “granola” predecessors. Garnier Whole Blends Shampoo Bars. $6.99, available at mass market retailers. Offered in four key blends for each hair type, each bar is formulated with 94% plant-based ingredients and blended free of preservatives, silicones, soaps and dyes..There’s zero plastic waste and each bar is 97% biodegradable.
Trending Buzzword: Micro-Dosing skincare
With powerful skincare ingredients like retinol trending, beauty brands are getting more creative with formulations to “micro-dose” these potent ingredients. Micro-dosing these ingredients means they’re better tolerated, by even the most sensitive skin types. Take the Neutrogena Rapid Wrinkle Repair Retinol Serum Capsules. $45, available at mass market retailers. Each fragrance free serum capsule contains a precise dose of pure retinol, a dermatologist proven form of Vitamin A, and leaves skin feeling hydrated, nourished and supple. The capsules help visibly improve the look of fine lines, wrinkles, dullness and skin elasticity in 4 weeks. The lightweight non-greasy formula leaves skin feeling softer, smoother, and more radiant looking in just 1 week.
Trending Buzzword: Vegan 2.0
Gen Z is driving this trend of cruelty-free and vegan consciousness, with more plant-based cosmetics, nail polish and skincare choices than ever at the forefront. We’ve seen this in skincare and makeup, and now we’re seeing it with nail polish, like the Quo Beauty Evergreen Plant-Based Nail Colours, 13.99. It’s an eco-friendly formula with ultra long wear that’s vegan and cruelty-free. There are lots of colours to choose from including trending colours for 2022 like purple, deep red and green, vibrant blue, orange and yellow. The Quo Beauty Ever Green Plant-Based Nail Colours are brand new this season – and are exclusive to Shoppers Drug Mart (in store and online).
