Skin Care Trends for 2006 |
|
|
Skin care has certainly been in the news during 2005. The
increasing concern of retaining youthful looking skin has led to
skin care companies developing skin care products that include
all kinds of exotic ingredients supposedly being able to reduce
lines and wrinkles on your face, eliminate age spots and other
blemishes, hydrate, smooth and tone your skin as well as making
various other amazing claims.
In addition, concerns have been raised about some of the
potentially harmful ingredients being applied to our skin and thus
absorbed into our bodies, with potentially harmful effects
on our health.
These reports have led to a 'natural' skin care ingredient boom
right across the skin care industry and increasingly we see
advertisements promoting natural skin care products.
Toward the end of 2005 however, buyers have been realising that
natural skin care products may not necessarily be all-natural
skin care products and are starting to doubt the validity of
advertisements promoting their skin care products as being
natural.
Further, the men's skin care market has been more strongly
targeted with many well-known brands creating and promoting a
skin care range specific for men.
So what can we expect in 2006?
I believe, that the above trends will continue during this year
and will intensify in certain areas. These areas include:
* An increased focus on Men's skin care
* More anti-aging 'miracle' products
* Increased focus on promoting so called 'natural' skin care
products
* An increased 'buyer be ware' attitude from consumers about
just how natural |
|
|
|
the promoted skin care products are, and
* An increase of scepticism toward the promotion of natural in
respect to skin care products by manufacturers.
I see the manufacturing of skin care products to be divided into
three types of manufacturers:
1. Traditional Skin Care Manufacturers
These produce skin care products that will provide good results,
but these products are not advertised to be natural, organic or
anything other than skin care products. Their products include
emulsifiers, preservatives and possibly potentially harmful
ingredients, but they do work and customers do get results.
2. Jump on the Bandwagon Manufacturers
These are manufacturers market their products as being natural
and actually do include natural ingredients or at least
naturally derived concentrates together with other ingredients.
They will promote these products as being natural and will
attract buyers who are concerned about what they are putting on
their skin and subsequently into their body.
This category contains another type of manufacturer, I call it
the Psydo-Natural manufacturer. This type uses only natural
ingredients, but does not use these ingredients in their natural
state. That is, they will not always use traditionally made
herbal extracts, but will use isolated, active ingredients from
herbs or essential oils in their products.
The problem with this type of product is that the ingredients
are no longer complete, they are 'out of balance' and as a
result could cause potential health concerns. This has been
explained in another article called |

'Natural, All Natural,
Holistically-Natural or Pseudo-natural - that is the
question'.
3. Holistic Manufacturers
This third type of manufacturer of natural skin care products
are manufacturers that have resolved to provide purely natural
skin care products to their clients and are dedicated to use
holistically, natural ingredients to produce truly natural skin care
products. They use pure essential oils, traditionally made
herbal extracts, and follow the philosophies of natural medical
practices such as herbal medicine and naturopathy.
The next 12 months or so will see consumers becoming more and
more aware of what is truly natural and what is not. The
Internet is a great source for gathering such information and
women especially will start to research skin care products in
ever increasing detail to find the type of products they
prefer.
Men will start to become more aware of their skin's needs and
will increasingly start to follow similar skin care regimes as
women. However, I think it will take men a little longer to
start thinking about the purity of their skin care. They will
probably leave it up to their spouses to select their skin care
range for them.
