8 Key Skincare Trends That Will Be Huge This Fall
Now that we’re well into the summer, it’s time to start thinking ahead to the fall. This transitional month is crucial when it comes to skincare – it’s the ideal opportunity to repair the appearance of summertime damage while also bolstering your complexion to see it through the upcoming cold season.
If you need some inspiration to help you to enhance your skincare routine, keep reading as OROGOLD talks through eight key skincare trends that will significantly shape the beauty industry this autumn.
1) Skincare On-the-Go
Let’s start with one of the quirkier skincare trends for this fall; on-the-go skincare. No, we’re not talking about travel-sized skincare products – instead, this trend is all about wearing skincare/beauty products as fashion accessories!
From pimple patches and spot stickers to under-eye masks, people are no longer relegating these products to evenings spent hidden away at home. Instead, they’re now proudly wearing them while out and about running daily errands, loving how these products provide portable pampering. Sure, it may take a fair bit of confidence to pull this trend off, but it makes using these products so much more convenient if your hectic daily schedule sees you short on time.
Brave enough to give this one a try for yourself? OROGOLD’s Pure Soothing Eye Jelly Masks Limited Edition is the perfect way to do so. Designed to fit snugly onto the skin underneath the eyes, these mask patches are packed with ingredients that quickly reduce the appearance of dark circles, puffiness, and crow’s feet.
2) Retinol Alternatives
You’ve probably heard of retinol before – it’s one of the most popular skincare ingredients around. It’s a form of vitamin A that can help with the appearance of everything from wrinkles and loose skin to dullness and dark spots.
So, if retinol is so great, why are retinol alternatives trending? Because as effective as retinol may be, it’s also notorious for triggering reactions in certain skin types. Those with dry or sensitive skin often struggle with this ingredient. Plus, even for other skin types, retinol can lead to skin purging. This temporarily increases the frequency and severity of acne breakouts while your skin is learning to tolerate the ingredient.
Fortunately, those side effects are non-existent with many of the retinol alternatives available. Ingredients like azelaic acid and bakuchiol provide comparable results but without any of the downsides. In fact, one study found that bakuchiol was just as effective as retinol at reducing the appearance of fine lines.
If you’d like to add bakuchiol to your skincare routine, check out the OROGOLD 24K Skin Balancing Mask Stick. It’s a face mask in stick form, allowing you to target its application if needed. In addition to bakuchiol, it contains an antioxidant-rich blend of plant oils, including grape seed, meadowfoam seed, papaya seed, and black raspberry seed.
3) Advanced SPF
2024 has seen people start to pay more attention to SPF. This is partly down to how many skincare brands have been reinforcing the importance of sun protection, and rightly so. With the sun responsible for up to 80% of the wrinkles and dark spots that appear on your face, as well as many skin cancers, it’s about time that people start focusing on upping their SPF game.
The increasing popularity of SPF means that many skincare brands are now creating advanced SPF formulations. Gone are the days of thick and heavy sunscreens that leave your skin looking white and ghostly. Well, those products are still around but you now also have plenty of lightweight and sheer alternatives, just like the OROGOLD 24K Skin Tone SPF 30.
This formula is a great example of the advanced SPF trend. It provides SPF 30 while also boasting all of the properties offered by a high-quality face moisturizer. It’s filled with vitamins, antioxidants, and hydrating ingredients, giving the skin a glow while also shielding it from sun damage.
4) Pearl Skin
Glass skin was a K-beauty trend that dominated the global beauty world for a couple of years. However, 2024 sees it pushed aside for the new type of sought-after complexion; pearl skin.
As you can guess from the name, pearl skin is about giving the skin an effortless pearlescent sheen. Unlike glass skin, which is when the skin looks wet and glossy, pearl skin has a glow that’s more matte. It still glistens but in a more subtle and ethereal way.
How do you achieve pearl skin? It partly involves the clever use of makeup. However, before this, you need to first ensure that you have a bright and hydrating base to work from. This involves gently cleansing your skin – a cleanser like the OROGOLD 24K Mousse Cleanser would be ideal for the pearl skin look. Then, apply a hydrating toner, like the 24K Purifying Toner. A hydrating serum, such as the 24K Rejuvenating Skin Serum, is next, topped off with a hydrating moisturizer.
5) Hydrating With Algae
Each year, at least one of the new skincare trends will hone in on a particular hydrating ingredient. Hyaluronic acid had its moment a couple of years ago, followed by sodium hyaluronate. This year, algae is the hydrating ingredient of choice.
Is this a good thing? Most definitely. For starters, just like hyaluronic acid, algae has humectant properties. These allow it to bind moisture to the skin. However, being a nutrient-dense aquatic plant means that algae also offers several other fantastic benefits to the skin. It helps to counter the feeling of inflammation, soften the look of wrinkles, lighten the visibility of dark spots, and more.
Although algae may be a newly trending ingredient, it’s one that OROGOLD has loved for a while. As a result, you’ll find it in several of our products, with the 24K Kelp Caviar Micro-Bead Serum being particularly popular. This silky solution combines algae extract with aloe vera leaf extract, which is also a humectant. Meanwhile, antioxidants from green tea, calendula, chamomile, and vitamin E provide even more power.
6) Overnight Masking
As you can tell from the first of our skincare trends (wearing face masks and pimple patches while doing daily errands), people are short on time these days. Although they’re still paying plenty of attention to their skin, they’re looking for ways in which they can do so as quickly and conveniently as possible.
This desire led to overnight masking becoming one of 2024’s biggest skincare trends. It involves applying a face mask before you go to bed. This then saves you from having to sit around for 10-15 minutes waiting for your face mask to work its magic. Instead, with an overnight mask, it will get to work while you sleep.
If you’re thinking that overnight masks sound messy, you’d be wrong. These no-rinse formulas are developed in a special way that allows them to sink into the skin, just like a moisturizer would. You won’t need to worry about the mask rubbing off onto your pillowcase or clogging your pores and triggering acne breakouts.
Intrigued? The OROGOLD 24K Rose Gold Hydro Mask would be a good place to start. This overnight mask is exceptionally hydrating and is brimming with antioxidants. It’ll have you waking up to skin that looks fresher, smoother, and brighter.
7) LED Light Therapy
Skincare tech has been gaining in popularity for a while. At-home devices seem to be constantly hogging the limelight when it comes to new skincare trends each year, and 2024 is no different.
However, one type of skincare tech has been outshining the others; LED light therapy. It has been a treatment of choice for many for a while but the fact that at-home LED light therapy devices are now so easily accessible has increased the reach of this technology.
The Photonix-2 Jade Eye Wand is one such device. This tool truly harnesses the huge range of benefits that LED light therapy can provide to the complexion. Depending on the mode you choose, you’ll be able to use this device to target the appearance of everything from crow’s feet and sagging skin to dark circles and puffy eye bags. Its multi-functionality is exactly why LED light therapy has become so popular!
8) Soothing Rather Than Stimulating
In recent years, many of the skincare trends have been all about stimulating the skin to encourage it to change in some way – ideally, as quickly as possible. However, 2024 turns things around. Instead, the focus is now on soothing and calming the complexion. Rather than stimulating it, people are now looking for ways to keep their skin barrier feeling as strong and resilient as possible. This then allows the skin to take care of itself in other ways, resulting in less input needed from you.
How do you keep your skin barrier feeling fortified? It all comes down to the products and ingredients you use. To start with, you’ll need a gentle cleanser and exfoliator. An exfoliator that uses a mild chemical exfoliant, like the 24K Multi-Vitamin Deep Peeling + Mandelic Acid would be a far better choice than a harsh scrub.
Certain ingredients can also be game-changers when it comes to improving how healthy and thick your skin barrier feels. Ceramides are one that you most definitely need in your skincare routine, with the 24K Termica Activation Serum being a great way to give this ingredient to your skin.
A moisturizer that contains hydrating and complexion-calming ingredients is also essential. Moisturizers form their own barrier over your skin’s natural barrier, leaving the deeper layers of your skin feeling doubly protected. The OROGOLD 24K Rose Gold Advanced Cream does this beautifully!
Deciding Which Skincare Trends to Try
When it comes down to it, you shouldn’t try a new product, ingredient, or technique solely because it’s a trend. Instead, make sure that your skin actually needs it. If it does, then go ahead and embrace that trend wholeheartedly, particularly if it happens to be one of the safe and science-backed trends featured above.
