Beauty treatment trends 2018
Self-care and self-love has stormed into the new year with us. J-Beauty, Clean Beauty and Anti-Pollution skincare are just a few of the beauty trends 2018 is bringing to the fore, and all across London spas and salons are offering up services to answer to them.
In conjunction with the changing face of London's beauty scene, we've rounded up the key beauty treatments trends to try and where to get them - from the best micro-needling in London to the sustainable salons to visit.
For us Londoners, invisible airborne pollutants can damage and irritate our skin, clog our pores and worsen the effects of ageing. In 2017, sales of luxury anti-pollution skincare products amounted to £3.1 million in the second half of 2017, and it's set to be one of the biggest trends this year.
FaceGym of King's Road now offers a painless 'Clean and Lift' treatment which is specifically designed to combat polluted skin through use of 4D laser technology. The thirty minute deep clean clears up breakouts, increases collagen production, and plumps the skin for a healthy glow. £75.
If you don't have time to make it to the spa, plenty of brands are now creating anti-pollution-specific products, like this Cilantro & Orange Extract Pollutant Defendant Masque from Kiehls.
