We’re coming up on the end of the year, and with the chillier months and holidays right around the corner, people are going to be looking for last-minute S.O.S. measures to keep dull, dry skin away. Our health also tends to take a hit during the season of sugary treats and festive libations, and while we all deserve a little treat, it can be hard not to feel the mounting pressure of having to undo all that damage come the new year. Here’s what you can expect to see lots of in the upcoming season.
We’re coming up on the end of the year, and with the chillier months and holidays right around the corner, people are going to be looking for last-minute S.O.S. measures to keep dull, dry skin away. Our health also tends to take a hit during the season of sugary treats and festive libations, and while we all deserve a little treat, it can be hard not to feel the mounting pressure of having to undo all that damage come the new year. Here’s what you can expect to see lots of in the upcoming season.
1. Hydration sheet/gel masks
Now that consumers are getting better-acquainted with barrier health, hydration is a major priority for all skin types and concerns. K-beauty brought the sheet mask into vogue and now here we are! A hydrating sheet mask feels a bit like the perfect product for the holiday season—get that extra boost of moisture, maybe soothe that simmering hangover and both with minimal effort. Sheet masks are also fun to do for a girls' night; slap one on, slip under the blankets and lock in to a holiday movie rewatch. Avatara Skin has several Hydrogel masks to scratch this exact itch.

2. Simple, regenerative solutions
People are consolidating their routines and bringing them back to basics: cleansers, moisturizers and then maybe a serum or night treatment of their choice, depending on their skin needs. Regenerative skin care is the new approach shaping attitudes towards longevity and well-aging. If you’re promoting healthy cell turnover and maintaining the skin’s natural regenerative properties, then the idea is that you can get the results you want without a full 12-step regimen. Angela Caglia has a skin care line rooted in regenerative solutions.

3. Powerful combinations
Beautiful skin is a journey, and rather than going to get treatments that only check one box on their dream skin wish list, people are looking for treatments that will give them overall gorgeous skin, through a combination of innovative products, cutting-edge technology and the classic massage. Candela Corporation developed The Glacē treatment process to do just this, so estheticians can give clients the ever-coveted glass skin they crave.
“The system works by combining three different technologies to cleanse, exfoliate and revitalize the skin,” says Leah Lynch, skin and lash expert, owner of Beautique Salon Spa and Lash Lounge. The process starts with a hydrodermabrasion and serum infusion. “A diamond-tipped wand exfoliates and polishes the skin while Candela's specialized serums are simultaneously infused via the GlacēVac closed vacuum system. This provides deep cleansing, exfoliation and hydration.”
Next, is the dual-mode cupping massage: “A cupping massage tool uses vacuum pressure to help support lymphatic drainage, reduce the appearance of puffiness and enhance facial contours. The final step involves a soothing biocellulose mask paired with red, green or blue LED light therapy to calm, brighten and soothe the skin,” explains Lynch.
“This treatment, pronounced "glassy" was designed in response to the glass skin trend and is attempting to rival the Hydrafacial because of, not just the beautiful results that it provides, but because as a service provider the Hydrafacial is a really unpredictable device with the cost of the consumables and this device has a fixed cost and more focused modality with real diamond tip microdermabrasion rather than disposable plastic. This however is a fairly expensive device, although it is currently on sale for half off as they introduce it!”
