SpaFinder Magazines Top 10 Beauty Trends For 2008
Tress Relief – Scalp massages are upgrading to full-length spa treatments for relaxation. (They may also stimulate hair growth.) Spas such as Ole Henriksen in Los Angeles include hair conditioning in many of their body treatments. Why should spa services stop at the hairline?
PDA’s For Skin – The Zeno zit zapper and Clarisonic face-washing brush will be joined by heap of new at-home beauty appliances. Many will mimic the mechanics of spa-grade gadgets, like the Mini-Marvel, which uses LED light to diminish wrinkles, acne, and blotches.
New Anti-Aging Targets – The face is no longer the sole focus. Neck creams, bust tighteners, and body über-exfoliators are coming to the spa and retails shelves by popular demand (helped along by Nora Ephron’s best seller, I Feel Bad About My Neck).
A Natural Standard – Look for a regulatory standard and seal for natural beauty products, now that organic ones can use the USDA seal to indicate degree of purity. The Natural Standard Seal will require at least 95% natural ingredients and pure processing methods.
Old Wine, New Bottle – Look for more products marked firming and lifting. Then look at the label on the back. You’ll find the same proven ingredients (retinol, vitamin C, and peptides) you’ve been using to treat wrinkles and blotches.
Lash Supper – There will be sharper focus on thickening and lengthening lashes. The product boom, marked by such lines as Osmotics FNS Nutrilash and ActiLash, was followed by a temporary bust when the FDA seized discontinued tubes of Jan Marini Age Intervention Eyelash Conditioner in November, declaring it an unapproved and misbranded drug. But as long as the ingredients are safe and the product stays on the right side of what the agency says a cosmetic can promise, lash-enhancing products will continue to be a huge trend.
Anti-Aging Makeup – Kimiko Beauty’s firming eye shadow and Joey NY’s under-eye concealer are examples of this powerful new trend. Packed with anti-aging ingredients like peptides, these new products take the recent “good for you” mineral makeup trend one step farther; actually leave skin better off for having used them.

I agree everything is about preventative when you are in your mid 20’s, but it seems my clients need more than preventative now!! Of course sunscreen is a complete MUST, and not those from Target or CvS. Those carry toxins, chemicals, and do not have a concentrated form of the active ingredients to block the most harmful rays, especially in the summer, with all these global warming issues we all live under.
I would recommend a sunscreen by Miaj Skin Care. This whole line is based on a Novasome technology, which uses time-released ingredients to target anti-aging. I am a SKIN CARE JUNKY i tell you! This line is amazing. It uses pure Vit C (l-ascorbic acid), peptides to firm, shitake, green tea/white tea (which is proven now to protect your skin against UVB rays), and natural fruit extracts. Its a fabulous line and I am happy to be one of the first people to use it on my clients:) Check it out people, the serum and sunscreen is all u need daily and you get all your results from the ingredients. Oh and the line only has 9 products, not 45! lol
