Skincare Trends I’m Obsessed With Right Now (2025 Edition!)
Hey guys! So, if you’re like me, you probably LOVE trying out new skincare stuff and seeing what works for you, right?
Over the last few months, I've been OBSESSED with all the cool skincare trends that are popping up. Some of them are totally cute, and others are like... wow, game changers!
Here are the top skincare trends I’m loving this year. Let’s dive in!
1. Slugging – The Weirdest but Best Thing Ever!
Okay, so I know it sounds kinda weird, but slugging is actually SO amazing. Basically, you put a super thick layer of petroleum jelly (like Vaseline) on your face before bed, and it locks in moisture while you sleep. It’s like your skin is in a super cozy sleeping bag all night! 🌙 It feels a little sticky at first, but trust me, when you wake up in the morning, your skin is SO soft and dewy. It’s like magic! ✨ I usually only do it when my skin is super dry, like after a lot of acne treatments or when the weather is super cold.
2. Self-Care Face Masks
I am a HUGE fan of face masks! They’re like a mini spa day at home. And there are SO many to choose from: clay masks, sheet masks, hydrating ones, peel-off masks… the options are endless! I’ve been really into sheet masks lately, especially the ones with cute designs (like little animal faces). I’ll pop one on, scroll through TikTok for 15 minutes, and boom, my skin feels 100% better. Plus, it’s like a mini self-care moment and who doesn’t love that?
3. Double Cleansing – Bye, Bye Makeup!
If you wear makeup or sunscreen (even if you don’t, honestly), double cleansing is LIFE. It’s this technique where you use an oil-based cleanser first to take off all the makeup, then you follow up with a regular water-based cleanser to clean your skin. I’ve been using this cute oil cleanser that smells like lavender (so relaxing!) and it makes my face feel super clean without being all dry or tight. I love it! Double cleansing is also SO good for getting rid of all that gross stuff we don’t even see on our skin, like pollution and dirt. 🫧
4. Vitamin C – Glow, Glow, Glow!
Okay, I’m like totally obsessed with anything that makes my skin glow. Lately, I’ve been using a vitamin C serum every morning, and it makes my skin look SO bright and fresh. You just put a little bit on after you wash your face, and bam – it’s like your skin is shining! ✨ I love how vitamin C helps with dark spots and acne scars too. It’s like a secret weapon for clear, glowy skin. Totally recommend if you want that dewy, glass-skin look without any filters!
5. Clean Beauty – No Bad Stuff Allowed
Clean beauty is basically skincare that’s made without sketchy chemicals or bad ingredients. It’s all about using natural, safe stuff for your skin. I’ve been getting into products with clean ingredients like aloe vera, hyaluronic acid, and green tea. Not only does it feel SO much better on your skin, but it’s also way better for the planet! Plus, a lot of clean beauty brands have the cutest packaging ever, which makes it even more fun to use.
6. Gua Sha – Facial Massage That Actually Works
Okay, this is SO fun and fancy. Gua sha is a type of facial massage using a stone tool (usually jade or rose quartz) to help your skin look less puffy and more sculpted. It’s like a mini workout for your face! I love how relaxing it is, and after doing it for a few weeks, I noticed my cheeks look more lifted and my jawline looks sharper. Plus, it’s a great way to de-stress after a long day of school or just when I’m chilling out.
7. SPF All Day, Every Day
You might be like, “Ugh, sunscreen again?” but guys, it’s SO important! Wearing sunscreen every single day is the key to keeping your skin looking young and healthy for a long time. There are sooo many cute SPF products now that don’t leave you looking all greasy or white. I love tinted sunscreens because they even out my skin tone and protect my skin from the sun. I’ve been using a sunscreen mist, and it’s so easy to just spray it on when I’m on the go. Plus, it smells amazing!
8. Skinimalism – Less Is More
I’ve been seeing this trend a lot, and I LOVE it. Skinimalism is all about keeping your routine simple and using only the essentials. No more 10-step routines (I don’t even have time for that!) – just a good cleanser, moisturizer, sunscreen, and maybe a serum or two. It’s so nice because my skin feels lighter, and it’s way less stressful to get ready in the morning. If you want to skip all the heavy makeup and have your skin look cute and natural, this trend is DEFINITELY for you!
9. Cleanser Bars – So Cute and Eco-Friendly
I’ve been trying out some cleanser bars lately, and honestly, they’re so cute AND good for the environment! You know how we always use so many plastic bottles? Well, these bars come in paper or cardboard packaging, and it’s such a cute way to reduce waste. Plus, they work just like regular cleansers, but without all the waste. I love the ones with tea tree oil because they feel super refreshing.
Final Thoughts
So yeah, these are my favourite skincare trends that I’m OBSESSED with right now! I’ve learned that taking care of your skin doesn’t have to be hard or expensive – it’s about finding what works for YOU. Whether it’s slugging or glowing up with vitamin C, there’s something for everyone! What trends are YOU loving? Let me know in the comments!
Stay glowy and keep taking care of yourself!
