Our skin changes as we leave the colder months behind and enter the spring season. However, considering the ever-evolving nature of the skincare industry, the trends of last spring won’t be the same as this year’s skincare tips and techniques. In this article, we’ll explore the skincare trends that will dominate this spring season.
Deploying skin messengers
One of the growing trends we can expect to see in this year’s spring (and beyond) is the use of exosomes. Exosomes are like skin messengers; they are little molecules that pass signals to other cells to make them act in a certain way.

These molecules contain peptides that contribute to elastin and collagen production in the skin. Exosome facials are pricey, costing about $700 per session. However, lucky for you, skincare brands are beginning to use this molecule in their products.
Intensive cleasners
Everyone knows facial cleansers effectively remove makeup- but they do more than that. Since many people experience breakouts as the weather warms up, new, cleaner formulas come to market, too.

For the next few months, skincare companies are formulating more intensive cleansers that remove toxins, oil, and debris from the skin to keep inflammation at bay. Innovative cleansing ingredients like microsilver and fruit enzymes will dominate this season.
Psychodermatology over dermatology
Have you ever had an acne breakout that messed with your mental health? Many people experience this more often than not. That’s why dermatologists are beginning to look at skincare from a psychological perspective.

Psychodermatology is all about the link between the mind and skin conditions like eczema and acne. In Spring 2024, we’ll see dermatologists working hand-in-hand with psychologists to help people achieve satisfactory skincare solutions.
A Niacinamide revival
Niacinamide might sound familiar to you because it’s not a new ingredient. From moisturizers to face serums, different skincare brands have incorporated this ingredient to solve many skin issues.

Niacinamide prevents moisture loss, soothes redness, brightens the skin, reduces hyperpigmentation, and diminishes the appearance of enlarged pores. This spring, niacinamide products will become more popular than they were last year.
Goodbye to pigmentation
Different factors can lead to discoloration or pigmentation, from hormones and breakouts to sun exposure and acne. In the past few years, vitamin C has been touted as one of the best ingredients for treating severe pigmentation.

However, dermatologists are discovering ingredients like azelaic acid, alpha arbutin, and kojic acid that do a better job. So, we’ll be seeing more products with these anti-pigmentation ingredients this season, although vitamin C products will also be available.
