Skincare lovers, this is the section for you - and with over 2.1 million views for the hashtag #skincaretrends2024 on TikTok - that's a big audience. From LED face masks to Tranexamic Acid filled products, these skincare trends are about to revolutionise your routine.

The first trend we fell for this year? Skinimalism. Proving once again that less is often more, it involves stripping back your skincare to high-quality essentials. One brand we can always trust for this is Dr Sam’s skincare. Bringing her effective Harley Street Treatments to the masses, Dr Sam’s 5-step Clarity Kit makes clear skin simple. We also love Tatcha for doing the essentials *really* well. Invest in a top quality moisturiser like The Water Cream for radiant returns.

 A trend that’s lighting up our TikTok feeds is LED face masks. Loved for their next-level results, these have modes to suit all skin concerns ranging from plumping to reducing blemish-causing bacteria, plus they look really cool on. If you fancy the splurge, Shark CryoGlow Under-Eye Cooling & Led Repair Mask is making waves for its depuffing and texture-smoothing results. The BEAUTYPRO LED Wand is another great option for those who want to glow on-the-go. 

Combining skincare with SPF products is still one of the hottest trends. Our fave brands for this are Supergoop! Glow Screen and Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Sunscreen Stick SPF30 for a base that’s sunsafe and shining. We also love Naked Sundays SPF50 Hydrating Glow Mist for topping up our hydration all day long. 

We’re seeing tinted skincare take off. If you want a complexion that glows from the inside out, then go for Drunk Elephant Hue Drops. Summer Fridays Shade Drops SPF 30 Mineral Milk Sunscreen is also all over our social media feeds, alongside ILIA C Beyond Tinted Serum SPF30 which offers coverage and care rolled into one.

A brand new trend on the block? Barrier-focused skincare - and thank goodness for it! Look out for Peptides, Ceramides, Niacinamides and Lipids to replenish our skin’s outer layer. The biggest creams in this category are Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask (of course) and the iconic Skinfix Triple Lipid Barrier Cream. Stock up on both and watch your skin health thrive.

Another BIG ingredient buzzword is Tranexamic Acid. Putting away the dictionaries, Tranexamic Acid or TXA can help a variety of skincare concerns like Rosacea, Dark Spots, and Acne, while boosting the skin barrier. No wonder why so many of you love it. The products doing it best? Topicals Faded Brightening and Clearing Serum takes exfoliation to a whole new level, while Paula’s Choice Discoloration Repair Serum is best for brightening dark spots.  

What do our Skincare experts think?

“This year has been all about skin health, with barrier repair being at the forefront of our minds. Taking a step back from the 12- step routine, we’re focussing on nourishing with Ceramides, Niacinamide and Lipids. It is safe to say we’ve all become true skincare experts in 2024!” - Michelle Tulley, Assistant Category Manager Skincare at Sephora UK

Coming in at number one is wet-look shine. This year, the limit did not exist when it came to luminosity. A standout product on TikTok was Living Proof’s viral High Shine Gloss Treatment. In a rush? Reach for amika’s Flash Instant Shine Hair Gloss Mask for instantly healthier-looking hair. Plus, don’t forget our forever fave Color WOW’s Dreamcoat Supernatural Spray.

We turned to the past for one of the most popular hair trends, timeless remedies. Forget the quick fixes, everyone is loving techniques that have gone through generations. Cue inde wild’s Champi Hair Oil. Named after the ancient Ayurvedic head massage technique, this pays homage to Diipa's mother's age-old recipe for overall hair health. We love soaking up the secrets. See also, Fable and Mane’s Holi Hair Roots Oil that harnesses the centuries-old technique of hair oiling. 

Scalp care is becoming an even bigger trend with stimulating products at the forefront. Straand has hit this head on with their Exfoliating Scalp Brush and Prebiotic filled Miracle Worker Scalp Scrub. Sephora Collection’s Scalp Scrub is also formidable for a full scalp reset. That’s our Sunday plans sorted. 

Hair growth products are very hot right now. Key ingredients to look out for are Rosemary Oil and botanical-based formulas like Baicapil, the powerful flowering plant behind Typebea’s legendary Overnight Boosting Peptide Hair Serum.

Getting a huge 21.7 million views on TikTok for the hashtag #bodytrend, it’s clear that everybody wants to know the top products in 2024. From suncare that does it all to natural deodorants, these are the trends we’re diving into, head and feet first. 

One of the biggest body trends is the skinification of bodycare. Let’s break it down for you, this involves using popular skincare ingredients like Retinol and Glycolic Acid in our bodycare routines. Stock up on The INKEY List Glycolic Acid Exfoliating Body Stick to brighten pigmentation and reduce body blemishes - it’s a multitasking must-have. See also, Topicals Slather Exfoliating Serum, which uses Retinol to unlock the smoothest skin. Skinfix has nailed the trend (don’t they always), by making their viral Triple Lipid Formula in a bodycare version. Besides the ultra-nourishing formula, we can’t wait to turn our bathroom shelves blue - matching skincare and bodycare bottles are always in. 

Another viral bodycare trend that feels as good as it looks is suncare. Forget the white cast formulas your parents used to cover you in, SPF has gotten sexy. The trend is multi-use suncare products that protect our skin and project our glow. One of our fave products for this is Sol de Janeiro’s Rio Radiance Body Lotion, delivering suncare with a radiant shimmer - SPF has never smelt so good. We love Naked Sundays SPF50 Golden Glow Body Cream for a sun-safe and sunkissed look. This formula contains Green Tea to multitask as your firming lotion, hydrating cream, and high-performance SPF - tick, tick, tick. 

One more trend your skin will thank you for, switching out Aluminum for natural deodorants. If you like a musky scent go for Salt & Stone's cult Santal and Vetiver Deodorant that provides 24-hour protection. Or, MALIN+GOETZ Bergamot Deodorant will leave you feeling super fresh and nourished. Prefer something sweeter? Sol de Janeiro’s Rio Deo Aluminum-Free Deodorant Cheirosa is for you. 

The final trend to lap up is *really* luxurious shower gels. TikTok has been loving L'Occitane Almond Shower Oil for its sensorial, spa-level experience. Our Sephora Collection Bubble Bath & Shower Gel in Argan has a similar melting texture with a silky soft finish. Like a rich foam? Try Necessaire The Body Wash in Eucalyptus, and transform your shower into a rainforest.
