Now that clinics have finally been able to open their doors again due to COVID-19 and everyone is back to their busy lives, it’s important that we take extra care when looking after our skin. We have discovered the top skincare trends of 2022 that will help to keep your skin looking youthful and fresh!

Skincare trends of 2022:

  • Chemical peels

If you are looking for a quick, effective treatment to make your skin glow, then chemical peels are the treatment for you!

Many skin concerns are caused by a build-up of dead skin cells. Chemical peels help to remove the damaged top layer of skin to leave you looking refreshed and rehydrated.

At Simply Clinics our Obagi Blue Peel is our most popular peel. It comprises of salicylic, glycolic and lactic acids which help to combat blemishes, wrinkles, pigmentation and sun damage. Peels are also great for treating acne as they help to reduce and eliminate scarring, minimise pores and treat post acne hyper-pigmentation.

With results evident after just one session, what’s not to love?

  • Retinol

Retinol is one of the top skincare ingredients available to use,  which help transform our skin. It is a derivative of Vitamin A and can help to combat a number of skin concerns such as fine lines or pigmentation. Vitamin A is essential for skin cell development as it inhibits collagen breakdown, increases elasticity and regulates sebum production. It has also been proven to help treat acne breakouts, making it promising for acne prone skin. It is also one of the best ingredients for reducing the signs of aging too!

When using retinol it can initially cause peeling and some redness, but don’t worry – this is normal and means the retinoids are working. Be sure to introduce a new Retinol slowly, and increase usage when your skin gets used to it.

 

  • Skin Tightening

With age prevention becoming more popular and younger people in their 20s now looking for ways to keep their skin looking youthful or prevent aging, skin tightening treatments have been on the rise in 2022.

Although there are many skin tightening creams available, these creams will only reach the top layer of skin. Therefore, we recommend professional treatments which can target the concern from a deeper level.

Two great treatments for skin tightening that we would recommend are Microneedling and Profhilo.

Microneedling works wonders to firm up and tighten skin as it encourages new skin to form, which is richer in collagen and elastin- two components essential to help skin looking youthful.

 

 

Profhilo is also another great option to address loose skin. It consists of injections into in the skin directly containing hyaluronic acid. The hyaluronic acid helps to remodel the skin from within.

 

 

  • SPF

We cannot stress enough the importance of wearing sunscreen! With its use now being recognised and promoted by doctors, SPF has become one of the most talked about skincare recommendations of 2022. It’s a known fact that sun damage speeds up the process of aging. Wearing SPF everyday can dramatically reduce the physical signs of aging in particular, fine lines, pigmentation and dark spots. Not only does wearing sunscreen everyday prevent premature aging, but it also lowers your skin cancer risk. This is one skincare trend we can get behind!
