IN the world of anti-ageing there is always something new to look forward to and this year is no different.

 



New skincare products allow you to roll back the years



 

There are many exciting developments and launches that look set to make their mark on the world of beauty this year, giving anyone who wants to roll back the years more choice than ever.

From innovative new skincare to the most cutting edge anti-ageing treatments, here is our round-up of what you can look forward to in 2016.

BEAUTY AND SKINCARE

We’re predicting that this year will be all about niche skincare brands that promise dramatic results. The rapid growth of these smaller brands is transforming the skincare market.

Many tend to be at the forefront of innovation, reacting quickly to trends and creating unique blends including bespoke formulas for individual skin concerns.

Look out for names such as Nu Skin ageLOC, a futuristic anti-ageing range that claims to target the genes in the skin that cause lines and wrinkles.

Another exciting brand to try is Elethea, all-natural, scienceled skincare that is packed with anti-ageing ingredients. Radara, Ananné and Nuriss are also making waves in the skincare world. Other trends include high-tech patches to brighten and tighten

IN THE SALON 

For years the beauty industry has been focused on wiping away wrinkles. A smooth forehead and a line-free face have been the measure of youth. But this year we’re predicting a different approach.

Rather than being obsessed with looking 10 years younger, we think 2016 is the year when the focus will be on looking healthy and happy for the age you are. Rejuvenating the complexion is the way forward and skin quality rather than wrinkles is the new focus.

The latest procedures concentrate on minimising pores, correcting sun damage and uneven colouring and promoting radiance.

Sculpting facelifts that aim to restructure the face, lifting and redefi ning contours while restoring volume, all without going under the knife, are the biggest thing this year in terms of facial rejuvenation.

• Venus Freeze

• PRP Therapy 

Prevention is another key buzzword this year as more women realise that looking great is all about combining lifestyle changes with regular mini procedures to restore collagen and boost skin quality. PRP therapy uses a patient’s own blood and can be used to treat the complexion as well as restoring scalp health and thickening thin eyebrows. 

Cost is dependent on area treated
