Every year we see new trends come and go, and by now, you have probably come across plenty of recent skin care trends for 2021. Have you adopted any into your morning and evening routine yet?

With lockdown restrictions still in place, most of us remain confined to our homes, unable to book ourselves a spa facial or a full day of pampering (yes, we miss it too!). To accommodate the new normal, it’s time we take this matter into our own hands. As experts in the field and with years of dedicated and proven scientific research in skin care, we at JK7® are in the position to guide you in the right direction with three of our own skin care trends that you can quickly implement within the walls of your own home. It’s time to give yourself an extra dose of TLC; after all, our goal is to help you have skin that you feel most beautiful, comfortable, and confident in. Read on for: 3 Trending Skin Care Trends to Look Out For in 2021.

1. Amplified Eye Care

Regardless of skin type, protecting your skin’s natural barrier is non-negotiable, especially the delicate skin around your eyes. As an on-going trend, this remains our number one when it comes to giving extra attention. With protective face masks being a necessity for venturing outdoors, people focus more on their eye’s appearance. Our eyes are now subject to having more make-up applied to them and experiencing more activity. Have you noticed any fine lines or puffiness cropping up? Even if you don’t, you should be treating your eyes with gentle creams and serums – this should become a staple in your routine.

So, what are you meant to look for? Find products that are organic, natural, and made with quality ingredients such as Vitamin E extract. The extract stimulates new tissue growth and provides immediate and long-lasting moisture to keep your eye area well-hydrated. Your eye cream should be nourishing and rich without being too heavy.

Incredibly lightweight, the JK7® Eye Gel can effectively lift your eyes after only a few applications, smoothen out fine lines and reduce dark circles by calming and moisturizing the delicate skin. We suggest you consider trying an eye gel first, to understand how your eyes react if you are new to the anti-aging crew.
If you find your eyes demanding more moisture, consider our anti-aging star, the JK7® Eye Cream. This best-seller is infused with high-performing herbal proteins, Arnica, and an abundance of potent vitamins (to name a few).

Not only is it deeply nourishing, it also acts as a potent antioxidant. What’s more? The cream is specifically formulated to be used daily by any gender, age, and skin type. While you are applying an eye gel or cream, give yourself a mini massage to de-puff and better moisturize your eye area.

2. Look out for Vitamin A and E

Standing center stage in the skin care industry, you may have noticed a rapid rise in products that contain the new powerhouse ingredients; vitamin A and E. Why? Because of the wealth of benefits associated. Vitamin A is a well-known type of retinol that helps reverse the damage caused by prolonged sun exposure. It also aids the prevention of acne breakouts through the disposal of dead skin cells and impurities to speed up the healing process. Despite the impressive results offered, vitamin A comes with a caution. Make sure you check the dosage amount of vitamin A you are using. If anything, use it intermittently in your routine to avoid over-stimulating your skin, which can often happen, leaving your skin red or flaky.

Similarly, vitamin E – a powerful antioxidant, can also effectively prevent UV damage and free radicals promoting moisturizing and healing benefits. However, the difference is that vitamin A is the key to stimulating cell growth, whereas vitamin E helps to protect the skin.

Explore the benefits of vitamin E from our highly-potent JK7® 24H Cream Day & Night Face Care, a results-driven facial cream that triggers the skin’s rejuvenation process by promoting healthy cell growth and moisture retention. As one of JK7®’s best-selling anti-aging skin care products, you can rely on this winner for reducing the appearance of less prominent wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging!

3. Go Au Naturale

For the rare occasions, we leave the house, a protective face mask tends to cover half of our face. We have seen a surging shift as celebrities, influencers, and even our next-door neighbors opt for a more natural make-up look rather than a full face of make-up. Aside from the obvious benefit of letting the skin breathe, a natural make-up look inspires many to accept the skin’s natural, dewy, and hydrated glow promoting healthy-looking skin. Have you tried going au naturale yet?

With or without make-up, remember it is still crucial to double cleanse your face after a long day to wash away all the impurities that can clog your pores (and potentially cause acne). Originating from Japan and Korea, the double cleansing regime has become a famous and vital step for many night-time routines. Healthline reports the benefits of double cleansing not only to clean your face, but it can transform dull skin. Moreover, removing the layer of debris from sweat, sebum build-up, waterproof make-up to other environmental pollutants allows other products such as your moisturizer and serums to penetrate the skin more effectively.

Introduce a gentle yet powerful make-up remover and facial cleanser into your evening skin care routine. Look out for natural and organic ingredients in these products, so you aren’t stripping your skin of its essential moisture and damaging the skin’s barrier.

We recommend the JK7® Eye & Face Make-Up Remover that is suitable for all skin types. Formulated with high-performing ingredients such as Avocado and Jojoba Oil, Calendula, Lavender, and Witch Hazel, this combination will gently cleanse, moisturize and balance your skin to dissolve your make-up. For your next cleansing step, consider the JK7® Foaming Face Wash to alleviate any redness and calm skin. Our specialist face wash is infused with Patchouli and powerhouse ingredients of vitamin C and E to work against free radicals leaving skin beautiful, clean, and feeling fresh.

Once you have found a skin care routine that works for you – stick with it. It’s important to keep consistent, and if you are looking to introduce a new product to your regime, we suggest only ever adding one new thing at a time to maintain the rest as a control so you can see what’s working and what’s not!

JK7® Tip: Don’t forget – beauty also comes from within. An over-reliance on skin care products does not always directly lead to the glowing skin we all strive for. Pair your skin care routine with a balanced, organic, and nutritional diet. Check out our journal for more tips on how to take control – https://jk7skincare.com/journals/nutrition/
