If it feels like there's a new SkinTok beauty trend every two weeks, there probably is. For better or worse, TikTok is filled with beauty influencers trying out new products and discovering old favorites, swearing by "life-changing" results that are smooth, streamlined and glowing. Some of them, like knockback, are actually pretty good, while others have been debunked by app experts. (No, glue cannot replace Botox.)
As many trends come and go and the year draws to a close, it's time to look to the future. TZR caught up with three dermatologists (and TikTokers themselves) to get their thoughts on the seven skin care trends they predict will hit social media in 2023.
Psychodermatology
After telling teenagers with cystic acne to smile even when it hurts, the skincare industry is finally acknowledging that mental health takes its toll on the skin. "There's definitely a connection," says Dr. Dustin Portello, dermatologist and skin surgeon. "When we feel anxious or stressed, our cortisol levels increase, which will have many metabolic downstream effects." This could mean high blood sugar levels leading to increased insulin levels, or lack of sleep leading to dehydrated skin and stress.
"Also, if someone has bad acne, for example, if they're not sure how they look, they may feel more anxious or depressed," she adds.
The mind-skin connection has even inspired beauty brands to redefine what "good skin" means. With voluminous acne scars worn by celebs like Hailey and Justin Bieber, Starface has helped keep your bottoms looking great. Many other brands are introducing genuine leather, leather and all, for the first time in their marketing imagery. In 2021, Glow Recipe went even further by banning terms and words like "perfect skin," "poreless" and "flawless" from their brand vocabulary. Hopefully less stress on the folds will result in less breakage overall.

adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
There's a new anti-aging star in the skincare world, and it's one of the most exciting ingredients since bakuchiol. This is called adenosine triphosphate, or ATP for short. Brands like Georgia Louise, 111Skin, and Soho Skin formulate their products with ingredients that boost fibroblast function and ATP levels, which are expected to increase collagen levels for younger-looking skin. It's all a bit complicated, so let a professional explain it to you.
“ATP is the source of energy for our cells. Our organs produce ATP, which is essential to fuel many of our cellular processes,” says Dr. Karan Lal, a board-certified esthetician and pediatrician. “ATP has become popular in recent years and energizes the skin. It has been shown to speed up wound healing, which means it plays a role in collagen formation.

Probiotics and probiotics
Although nothing new , recent research has shown that prebiotics and probiotics in skin care support a healthy skin barrier, and this topic will be heard a lot in 2023. Prebiotics and probiotics are said to balance the microbiome, prevent infections, and more. eg eczema. "This is a rapidly developing field of medicine," says the doctor. Bring him. "While it's not definitive yet, it's steadily improving, and I hope that one day we can actually manipulate the microbiome to improve skin health."
Postbiotics (byproducts of probiotics) can also help balance pH. "Achieving optimal skin pH is also necessary to protect the important bacteria that live on the skin," says Dr. Nava Greenfield, Board Certified Dermatologist. Some examples of this focus include CocoKind Acne Serum and REN Clean Skincare Perfect Canvas Essence, both of which hit the market in January.

Cocokind's gentle yet effective serum uses postbiotics, beta-glucan and salicylic acid to unclog pores, reduce inflammation and most importantly, prevent acne and blackheads.

Ren:
"dirty" beauty.
No one wants their skin care products to contain harmful ingredients, but fear and misinformation about formulas online can be stopped. Social media experts, dermatologists, cosmetic chemists and estheticians agreed and helped lead the charge. "Clean" beauty is still subjective and unregulated, so in 2023 you'll see less judgment and more information from brands so you can make your own decisions about your body and what you put into it. Just think how The Ordinary and Paula's Choice break down the ingredients in their products in a simple and concise way.
“What defines purity? Vegan? Is it from nature? Ethical? "We don't know," Dr. Lal said. "Actually, lab-grown synthetics are developed through rigorous testing and scientific research to be applied to the skin."
Greenfield advocates clean beauty for "simple products that don't contain harsh chemicals," but agrees that "fear doesn't help anyone."

“Sugling is a trend that has surfaced several times on social media,” the doctor said. Bring him. “The idea is to stick to your skincare routine during the evening and apply Vaseline (Vaseline), Aquaphor or CeraVe Treatment Cream before bed. She says it can be a great way to strengthen the skin barrier and hydrate your skin, especially if you're prone to breakouts and acne.
And the pace isn't slowing down anytime soon. People even beat their nails and hair (although black women have been doing it for years). Brands like Loops and the new Futurewise , have created niche products, so we think they're here to stay.
Snail balm
Don't underestimate the light texture of Futurewise's Slug Balm. It is occlusively packed to envelop the skin in moisture. Although they can be used alone to prevent transepidermal water loss, they can help other products absorb better when used as the final step of your skin care routine.

The brand was founded by a dermatologist
While celebrity skin care brands are still popular in 2023, there is a rise in the number of brands founded by experts, especially dermatologists, who are popular on TikTok. Lovers who can't fly to New York or Los Angeles to see their favorite dermatologist can apply for their skin care products from anywhere. This year, board certified dermatologist Dr. Dr. Sherin Idris, plastic surgeon. Lara Devgan and dermatologist Dr. Loretta Chiraldo and Dr. Xenovia Gabrielle. [Can we include all their trademarks and maybe put them in parentheses next to the founder's name?]
Of course, it's not just dermatologists. Other experts have also built brands that are driven by science and data rather than traditional marketing. There are a number of celebrity estheticians with skin care lines, such as Shani Darden, Joanna Cech, and Rene Rouleau, as well as cosmetic chemists, including Ron Robinson.
But just because a brand is designed by an esthetician doesn't mean it's the right skincare for you. Dr. Greenfield says there are many "great leather brands," but "some are better than others," so be sure to do your research before committing.

Leafy greens aren't new to skin care, but broccoli is becoming the "it" vegetable of 2023. "It's rich in fatty acids that help hydrate and heal scaly, inflamed skin," says Dr. Broccoli. Mute. "It's also full of antioxidants, some of which can help heal and prevent sun damage."
Although further research is still needed, Dr. Greenfield agrees that "many plant and seed extracts have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects on the skin."
Broccoli seed oil is already an ingredient in a number of antioxidant-rich products, including L:A Bruket Broccoli Seed Serum, Elemis Superfood Facial Oil, and Maya Chia Day Brightening Facial Serum.
