Unlock 2025’s Hottest Skin-Care Trends to Elevate Your Routine!
While the U.S. may lag behind some countries in embracing new sunscreen filters, the landscape for sunscreen textures is set to transform in the upcoming year! According to leading dermatologists, as we step into a new era, brands are dedicated to creating formulas that are not only effective but also feel luxurious on the skin. “The quest for silky, lightweight textures that seamlessly blend into skincare routines is relentless,” shares Dr. Mona Gohara, a board-certified dermatologist. The trend is leaning towards innovative options like “sunscreen drops,” “serums,” and “fluids” rather than traditional lotions and creams. Get ready for a sunscreen that not only hydrates like a lotion but also offers color correction—this exciting product has already left editors buzzing after a sneak peek last November.
Looking ahead, Dr. Garshick anticipates a significant expansion in tinted sunscreens, particularly for deeper skin tones, alongside innovative hybrid formulas that merge tinted serums with SPF. Recently, Supergoop introduced their revolutionary Protec(tint) Daily SPF Tint SPF 50, boasting medium coverage available in 14 stunning shades, all while providing advanced sun protection. Also, Fenty Skin has unveiled the Hydra Vizor Tinted Moisturizer Broad Spectrum Mineral SPF 30, which comes in 10 flexible shades. These strides are just the beginning!
Body-care Products: A Whole New Level
Body creams are evolving beyond their traditional roles! Leading brands are now infusing their body creams with active ingredients previously reserved for facial skincare. Labrecque refers to this trend as the “faceification of body care,” emphasizing the growing priority among companies to enhance body care products in the coming years. This goes beyond mere skin routines; it offers targeted benefits for consumers eager to elevate their body care regimen.
“The intentionality surrounding body care is here to stay,” says Labrecque. Dr. Gohara concurs, predicting a more sophisticated approach to body skincare with advanced ingredients like body-specific retinoids and barrier-repair compounds. Anticipate a revolution in body cleansing products as well! “We’ll see innovative ingredients that improve skin texture, tone, hydration, and wrinkle reduction in body washes,” she predicts. The body is finally receiving the attention it deserves—it is, after all, the largest organ of our skin!
Not only are body-care brands elevating their offerings, but we’re also seeing facial skincare powerhouses branching out. For instance, Dove has recently introduced its Body Cream Serum Collection aimed at tackling texture and tone issues while providing hydration. Meanwhile, The Ordinary has made its debut in the body care realm with a 0.5% Salicylic Acid Body Serum and a range of other innovative products. Skinbetter has also entered the arena with its AlphaRet Body Overnight Cream, which couples retinoid technology with AHA ingredients to nourish and rejuvenate dry skin.
