It can seem like new beauty trends drop every week in the skincare realm. As you navigate the buzziest offerings, you might often end up spending too much money on trendy skincare products that simply don’t work. If you feel overwhelmed by all of the viral beauty hacks out there, you’re not alone.
To help you stay in the know, we’ll unpack current beauty trends that are worth checking out this summer and share our favorite affordable skincare products for trying them out.
Embracing Minimalist Makeup
The minimalist makeup trend emphasizes embracing your natural beauty — it’s essentially the “no-makeup” makeup look. Before starting your minimalist makeup routine, you want clean, healthy skin. It’s especially important to stay on top of your skincare during those hot and humid days of summer, but what should you reach for?
Here’s how to boost your routine with affordable picks: Before using face wash, apply jojoba oil for a thorough double cleanse. For pesky insect bites and minor skin irritation after your summer adventures, soothe skin with Desert Essence Blemish Touch Stick. If you experience extra dry weather rather than humid weather, nourish your skin with Desert Essence Tea Tree Oil Skin Ointment.
Layering on Glossy Lips
The glossy lip trend centers around plump, nourished lips, and lip balms are an inexpensive way to create a smooth, even lip base to work with. Our Desert Essence Lip Rescue balms are infused with nurturing botanicals such as shea butter, jojoba oil and tea tree oil to protect and hydrate your lips. They feature a slight glow, but you can complete the shiny look by topping them with a lip gloss.
Choosing Eco-Friendly Beauty
Eco-friendly skincare is here to stay as consumers become more aware of their environmental impact. In the ‘90s, clean and eco-friendly beauty emerged as beauty enthusiasts grew concerned over worrisome ingredients in their products. Needless to say, its momentum has only grown since then. Today, concerns in the eco-friendly beauty space include — but are not limited to — cruelty-free, sustainable packaging, and sustainable sourcing.
As a clean beauty brand, Desert Essence is committed to social responsibility in direct ways. We seek certifications from trusted organizations like B Corp and carry affordable and eco-friendly skincare products like sustainably harvested tea tree oil.
Downsizing Skincare with the Skin Streaming Trend
While it’s fun to try new products, using too many products can potentially irritate your skin and prevent your skincare from working. Skin streaming is all about keeping your routine to three or four steps. With this skincare philosophy, you stick to products that actually work and ultimately save money.
For budget-friendly skin streaming essentials, our Desert Essence favorites include Thoroughly Clean Deep Pore Cleanser, Cucumber & Aloe Facial Toner, Restorative Face Oil, and Daily Essential Moisturizer. Of course, you can always edit this list to fit your skincare needs.
