6 Skincare Trends To Look For In 2026

Based on what we’re seeing in the treatment room, here are the six trends that will define 2026.

1. "Skin minimalism" & Barrier First

The days of the 12-step routine are numbered. In 2026, people are prioritizing the health of their skin barrier over "more products". We are seeing a major shift toward using fewer, higher-quality products that deliver results without the risk of over exfoliation or irritation.

2. The Rise of "Longevity" Skincare

Skincare is no longer just about fixing a temporary breakout; it’s about how your skin ages over time. The focus is shifting to collagen support and texture longevity.

3. Exosomes (Growth Factors): The New "Messengers" In Your Products

Exosomes are about to be everywhere. Think of them as tiny "messengers" that tell your skin cells to calm down, repair, and regenerate. They are incredibly effective for boosting recovery and glow, especially when used post-treatment with services like Microchanneling.

4. Full Body Focus (Beyond the Jawline)

In 2026, your skincare routine won't stop at your chin. Because your face can look 25 while your hands or chest tell a different story, we expect to see a surge in body serums, body retinols, and dedicated SPF routines for the neck, chest, and hands.

5. Cautious Eye & Lash Care

Consumers are becoming much more selective about their lash serums. Due to potential side effects like eyelid darkening or irritation, many are moving away from prostaglandin-based formulas in favor of peptide-based lash serums and cleaner, non-irritating ingredients.

6. The Normalization of Casual Skincare

Facials are no longer a rare occurrence. People are starting to prioritize skin health on the daily. We’ve seen a steady increase in men, teens, etc. coming in for skincare treatments.
