Skin Barrier First

"Skinimalism" is out, and "barrier repair" is in. The focus shifted to nurturing the skin's microbiome with ceramide-rich moisturizers, probiotic serums, and gentle cleansers. Skincare enthusiasts are prioritizing hydration and resilience over aggressive exfoliation.

Facelifting Blush Techniques

Blush isn't just for the apples of your cheeks anymore. 2024's trendiest blush applications focus on lifting the face. Strategically applied blush along the cheekbones and temples gives an instant facelift effect, paired with natural, glowing skin.
