- Reusable Silicone Swabs – These swabs are made of soft silicone and are meant to replace cotton swabs. They are great for the application of makeup and skincare products.”
We are looking for effortless longevity when it comes to the youthfulness in the appearance and health of our skin. We are going to see people continue to peel back their makeup foundation layers and invest in the right skincare services to treat concerns rather than cover them up. Hydro Jet & Jet Peel facials will continue to be mainstream and advanced eye rejuvenation treatments will trend!
In 2020, we are also going to see people’s tolerance for animal testing dwindle and the demand for more transparency in the cosmetic industry increase. Clean Beauty will no longer be viewed as a “trend,” rather becoming the new normal because mindfully created and produced beauty products without any proved or suspected toxic ingredients are here to stay. We are also going to see people scaling back and stepping away from that over the top eyelash extension obsession and wear a more natural look. Natural lashes are ready for their comeback!”
