Top 10 Beauty Trends from My Beauty Luv Despite the uncertain world, one thing that remains constant is the importance of selfcare, and what better place to start than to familiarise yourself with the top trends.
“Also, home galvanic machines, home laser and home light therapy devices have advanced significantly, so the trend to use homecare beauty devices will grow,” Carroll adds.
From ingestible beauty to medical grade solutions and the growing importance of cruelty-free products, Toni Carroll founder of award-winning premium beauty supplement brand, My Beauty Luv, outlines the next hottest trends taking the industry by storm:
4. Kindness is essential
1. Nutricosmetics are here to stay - with a focus on quality. Although nutricosmetics hit the marketplace in the 1980s, they are now on the brink of a major revolution. “The global market for nutricosmetics was worth US$5.1-billion last year and will reach US$8.3-billion by 2027. Ingestible beauty is the future, but not all ingestible beauty supplements are created equal. Check the ingredients to ensure you get the best,” Toni advises. 2. Expect more plant-derived (rather than laboratory-created) ingredients “New scientific methods for testing, extracting and processing plant-derived ingredients like chlorophyll are now available,” Carroll explains. “Still, be sceptical of ingredients that suddenly reach godlike status - make sure there's enough research backing your beauty choices.” 3. Homecare solutions will continue to grow At-home skincare was a necessity in 2020 and 2021, and Carroll says it's not going away. The game-changer will be medical aesthetic professional skincare brands (that you can only purchase through your clinic or salon) offering medical-grade solutions that consumers can use at home.

Vegan skincare and beauty were the fastest-growing category within beauty for 2021. Even consumers who are not eating a vegan diet, identify with the 'cleaner, kinder, gentler' philosophy. “In response, we're extending our product range, starting with vegan-friendly products in 2022, including highly advanced anti-ageing products with uniquely sourced ingredients to enhance your beauty inside and out.”
says “Beauty has become more holistic, which is a very good thing, as we start to understand the connection between stress and ageing. It will continue to grow and brands will start to evolve too, to accommodate this awakening.” 8. Skin protectors take centre stage - but don't be fooled by blue-light promises SPFs and other skin protectors have been firm favourites for a while now, and people are starting to pay attention to blue-light damage from screens too. “It is a while off, but the company that invents a topical, practical solution that stops blue-light penetrating the dermal layers will completely revolutionise the industry,” Carroll explains. 9. The 'skinification' of hair
5. Some beauty staples become mainstays of comfort Ingredients move in and out of fashion all the time, but Vitamin E, for instance, is used in base formulas for the vast majority of skincare brands. Says Carroll, “It's a comfort that these staple beauty ingredients are gaining attention again - they are tried and tested.” 6. More discerning beauty choices People are becoming far more discerning in their beauty choices, Carroll says. “With the sheer volume of skincare brands available and the unbelievable choices we have today as consumers, most people have more skincare products today than ever before, but they're focusing on quality.”
“Quite a few trailblazing products are making scalp care sexy,” Carroll says. These new treatments are also transforming popular favourites, like Brazilian blowouts and other typical 'hair beautifying' treatments, to be safer, cleaner and greener. 10. The year crafted bacteria really takes off Carroll believes firmly that the future of all beauty and health will be carefully crafted, unique bacteria strains. “Not the half-dead ones you purchase as probiotics on the shelves, but live, edible cultured bacteria done in the comfort of your own home. We will literally be eating our beauty products.”
7. Anti-stress is the new anti-ageing
“As the industry continues to evolve, we look forward to the future when it comes to new innovations that will take the beauty world to the next level,” Carroll concludes.
Some ranges are focusing on anti-stress rather than anti-ageing, but the two are very intertwined. Carroll
