Crafting a skincare routine that truly works for you can be a challenge, navigating through the vast array of products and their lofty promises.
As we usher in the New Year, health and wellness experts from Ethos Aesthetics and Wellness have compiled the latest skincare trends to illuminate your skin in 2024.
I spoke with experts at beauty and wellness marketplace Fresha who compiled a know-all guide for hyaluronic acid, debunking the latest skincare favourite found all over social media at the moment.
Skin Streaming: Bid farewell to complex skincare rituals. Skin streaming simplifies your routine, emphasizing only essential products.
By reducing the number of skincare items, your skin breathes freely, ensuring optimal product effectiveness. Say goodbye to confusion and welcome a streamlined approach for skin that’s free from irritation.
Experts advise incorporating a gentle cleanser, hydrating moisturizer, and SPF into your simplified routine. Additionally, kickstart your day with vitamin C to brighten your skin and boost collagen.
Skin Flooding: In the quest for healthy skin, hydration takes centre stage. Enter skin flooding—a technique that locks in moisture through lightweight layers of hydrating products like moisturizer and hyaluronic acid.
Follow these steps for optimal results: cleanse, allow the skin to stay damp, apply hyaluronic acid, and seal the hydration with your favourite moisturizer.
Mixing Skincare with Makeup: Effortlessly treat your skin concerns throughout the day by using makeup infused with skincare ingredients.
Enjoy reduced acne risks, shorter prep time, improved tone and texture, and protection from environmental factors.
Opt for makeup with ingredients like Salicylic Acid, Niacinamide, Hyaluronic Acid, and Vitamin C. For dry skin, consider products with hyaluronic acid or mix a drop into your foundation for added hydration.
A beauty expert from Fresha commented:
“The beauty industry is hugely influential, with skincare enthusiasts desperate to know the newest ways to revitalise and keep their skin looking young and radiant. There is no doubt that the impact of social media has transformed the way these new techniques are shared and discovered.
This guide is a fantastic way to prove how quickly a new trend can skyrocket into popularity and reveal how you can successfully implement hyaluronic acid into your skincare routine whilst understanding what the substance is and does for your skin.
When exploring new ingredients for your regime, it’s always worth visiting a professional, whether that’s at a salon or spa, to make sure hyaluronic acid is right for your specific skin type.”

Here are 5 ways to Improve Your Walk After 50 💪🙌
1. Focus on Posture
Maintaining good posture is crucial as you age. Stand tall with your shoulders back, head aligned with your spine, and engage your core muscles. This will not only improve your walk but also reduce strain on your back and joints.
2. Strengthen Your Muscles
Incorporate strength training exercises into your routine to keep your leg and core muscles strong. Squats, leg raises, and calf raises can all help improve your walking efficiency and stability.
3. Stretch Regularly
Flexibility plays a key role in maintaining a healthy gait. Dedicate time to stretching exercises, especially for your legs and lower back, to enhance range of motion and prevent stiffness.
4. Wear Supportive Footwear
Choose shoes that offer proper support and cushioning. Avoid high heels or unsupportive flats, as they can cause discomfort and impact your walking style negatively. Opt for footwear that is designed for walking or athletic activities.
5. Practice Balance Exercises
Balance tends to decline with age, increasing the risk of falls. Incorporate balance exercises such as standing on one leg or using a balance board to enhance stability and coordination while walking.
