As we get into 2016, beauty experts across fields tell us what we can look forward to this year.
Skin deep
Dr Apratim Goel, dermatologist and laser surgeon, Cutis Skin Studio
2016 seems to be a year of technology and incorporation of newer molecules in skin products. Non-surgical body shaping treatments are most likely to be on top of the popularity list and the consumer demand is for no downtime and painless treatments. Other technologies that are likely to continue to be popular in 2016 include Fractional RF device and lasers, newer lasers for hair removal, injectables.
Likely cosmetic skin treatments to be popular this year include -
Anti-pollution facials: With all of us constantly exposed to pollution, these Medi-facials are gaining popularity. These consist of lymphatic massage to drain toxins and use of deep sea products that help in detoxification and clearing of skin.
Skin brightening treatments: 2016 seems to be a realistic year with less hue and cry for fairness.
Deep hydration: With average skin water content going down, there is a need for external skin hydration for all skin types. Delivering hydration deep into the skin with mesoporation technology will be high in 2016.
Vitamin massages: Natural as well as serum form of various vitamins like A, C and E when used in the absorbable form and delivered with ultrasound technology deep into the skin, nourishes the skin.
Body polishing: and care of neglected parts like underarms, neck, hands and feet would be the focus in 2016 as consumers are getting aware and the focus is shifting from face to other parts of the body as well.
Make me up
Ojas Rajani, celebrity make-up artist
When it comes to make-up, very chic and ultra glam look will be in. After an overdose of bright lips and reds, finally nudes and softer pinks will take over. Eyes are also coming in to focus. Whether it's smoky or graphic or smudged liner, in terms of eye colours electric blue, navy, purple and metallic shades rule. There is a bit of shimmer and shine but a more diffused look. Skin wise everyone wants a glowing touch which can be achieved with skin friendly foundation. Lip tints with a creamy texture add youthfulness. In terms of hair straight is out. Instead, big sexy wavy hair is all the rage. Highlights are also coming up in a big way and more women are getting hair extensions.
Hair and there
Bianca Hartkopf, hairstylist and expert
Textured layers and soft fringes in the face is what we will see in 2016. In terms of colour, Ronze is the latest colour craze. Ronze is a combination of copper red and bronze brown and most importantly works well on all complexions. Super exciting! Hair is more bohemian and unkept embracing natural texture. As for hair salon treatments, it is important to firstly understand your hair type and use the correct shampoo and conditioner. Go for treatments that put back moisture and protein that we take out from the hair with everyday use.
