Effortless beauty gets a whole new meaning
You might not yet have heard of the term skinimalism, but chances are you’ve carelessly been seeing it all over your beauty feed or in beauty trends since 2020 as things go. Skinimalism is the new wave of skin makeover that focuses on natural skin, minimal makeup, and more often than not, it’s dewy AF. Beauty trends in 2021 are all about skin that *actually* looks like skin – probably all thanks to more and more people focusing on skincare as self-care in 2020 Because of Covid.
So, Get ready to say
Goodbye to heavy editing
and
welcome real skin in all its glory.
And which means freckles, pores, texture, and everything else real skin means. And that’s why we are buzzing about such more beauty trends.
Well, after a year of staying at home wearing less makeup, paired with a consistent skincare regimen, our skin is looking better than ever and it’s time to show it off. Enter stage for Glowing skin.
So, make way for lightweight moisturizing formulas, tinted serums, better SPF, and daily application. When it comes to skincare, we’ll see an inflow of antioxidant-supercharged serums, glow-getting ingredients, and hydrating, skin-plumping moisturizers.
Before you start to panic, this doesn’t mean the days of untamed eye makeup and bold lipstick have also died. In fact, we’re going to see a rise in bold makeup that looks paired with skinny minimalism, since we’re having better skin after this lockdown.

Fresh start.
Spring is a great time for a fresh start. It’s a lot like New Year, a new start, but with warm, non-dry weather. One way to prepare for the upcoming season? Start incorporating spring 2021 skincare trends into your beauty routine trends.
After the truly deafening year 2020, I think it’s safe to say that we’re all eager for a beauty do-over. Alas, even our beauty routines weren’t immune to the effects of 2020—as salons closed everywhere, we were forced to become our own hairstylists, colorists, estheticians, and dermatologists overnight. But a few bad box dyes and many DIY face masks later, we learned to absorb into a largely at-home beauty culture. As we mastered the massage, root touch-up, and brow grooming, we learned about the purifying power of self-care and came out stronger than ever.
Skinimalism– New Trend
One pandemic later, the no-makeup look is back. Marrying good skincare and minimal makeup, it’s what Pinterest is considering the “new glow-up.” According to Pinterest’s 2021 Trends forecasting report, people are surrendering a complicated makeup routine to enfold slow beauty and let their natural skin texture shine through (think glowy skin and visible freckles).
Clean and transparent – skincare
Surveys have indicated that skincare brands flaunting ingredient transparency are gaining popularity. Consumers want to know what’s in their products, and legally so.
This added pressure has caused companies to guide towards more ‘sustainable formulas’, whether via packaging, formulations, or reducing its carbon footprint. And that’s why people are more aware of natural products. And they know what they actually need for their skin. If they have pimples or open pores which product they want. Now people can analyze what their skin needs after the age of 20s or 30s or 40s. Which ingredients are good for anti-aging, wrinkles, and dull skin.
Plant-based skincare – Essential
With some of the most popular and most searched ingredients being bakuchiol (retinol), Gotu kola (Brahmi, herbaceous), ginger, and witch hazel flowers, plant-based skincare is expected to hit a major surge in 2021.
“Until recently, plant-based skincare was considered niche,” says Dr. Farhang.
“With an increase in eco-conscious consumers as in environment-friendly, many mass brands are introducing plant-based products.”
Niacinamide – Everything for Skin
According to experts, niacinamide (aka vitamin B3) is becoming one of the year’s buzziest beauty ingredients.
It’s a powerhouse ingredient. “It helps to treat uneven skin tone, hyperpigmentation, and texture, it helps to refine pores, it helps to smooth skin, hydrate skin, and also it’s great for inflamed skin.”
So it’s basically the “Swiss Army knife” of skincare ingredients — and despite doing so much, it’s easily tolerated. It is recommended by most dermatologists.
You can find niacinamide in a range of products, for better skin, Or as a primer before makeup, Or before moisturizing for long-lasting hydration, or as the last step of your skincare routine for some subtle radiance.
- Treats acne
Niacinamide may be helpful for severe acne, especially inflammatory forms like papules and pustules. Over time, you may see fewer lesions and improved skin texture.
For dry skin, the serum helps to calm down redness and helps retain moisture for your skin. And if you have an oily complexion, the multi-tasking vitamin can minimize pores and regulate oil. This ingredient is phenomenal.
