Beauty & Wellness Trends in 2024

 

The year of enhancing Your natural beauty!

As 2024 approaches, everyone places their bets on which beauty treatments will be trending on TikTok, Instagram, and amongst our favorite celebrities. 2023 was the year of Buccal Fat Removal and chiseled cheekbones, which we predicted in our 2023 trend list.

We’re finally saying goodbye to the last remaining traces of 2016 full glam makeup and BBL silhouettes. Trends are cyclical — we think 2024 will be the revival of “no makeup” makeup and glowy, healthy skin. We created a guide to “no makeup” makeup on Urban You For Me, your one stop shop for medical grade skincare that gets delivered right to your door. Urban You members automatically save 20% on every purchase!

As skincare slowly overpowers heavy makeup, naturally enhancing aesthetic treatments do the same. Don’t get us wrong, we love a dramatic, confidence boosting transformation with filler and Botox! Confidence is a trend all year, every year.

Plump, Youthful Skin

Matte, dull skin is OUT in 2024. Whether it’s skincare, makeup, or med spa treatments, this year is all about finding your inner glow and letting it shine. SkinVive by Juvéderm became the first FDA-approved hyaluronic acid (HA) microdroplet injectable in the US to improve skin smoothness of the cheeks. It increases hydration to improve skin smoothness and provide a lasting glow for up to 6 months with optimal treatment! In clinical studies, patients treated with SkinVive  reported higher satisfaction with how glowing, hydrated, refreshed, and healthy their skin looked. SkinVive offers a unique, comprehensive approach that leaves you feeling like a rejuvenated and refreshed version of yourself.

Each person's skin is as unique as a fingerprint, and SkinVive offers tailored solutions that cater to your specific skin needs! From addressing fine lines and wrinkles to tackling hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone, SkinVive's range of treatments can be personalized to address your concerns. This level of customization ensures that you're not just getting a generic treatment – you're receiving a skincare solution designed exclusively for you. If you’re pregnant, have aging skin, or just want to refresh your complexion in 2024, SkinVive is perfect for you.

 
 

Natural and Defined Lips

Kylie Jenner ruled the lip-game for years thanks to her plump, over the top lip silhouette. When she decided to tone it all down for a more natural look in 2018, she shocked the beauty world. Glossy and subtly defined lips are still at the top of the trend list moving into 2024. Our estheticians recommend a Lip Flip — the subtle way to augment your lips with Botox Cosmetic.

A “Lip Flip” is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that makes the lips, particularly the top lip, appear fuller. This is done with Botox injections that focus only on the upper lip, including the corners and edges. The safe and FDA-approved neurotoxin in Botox relaxes the top lip, which allows it to slightly flip upwards. 

Lip flips are natural looking, affordable, and are a great first step into the world of aesthetic services. They’re temporary, safe, and are generally used to either create a subtle enhancement of the top lip or counteract a “gummy smile”.

How Are Lip Flips Done?

Lip flips are done with Botox Cosmetic, the only FDA-approved product that temporarily stops facial muscles from moving or contracting. Botox® is most commonly used for treating crow’s feet, forehead lines, and smile lines. When used in a lip flip, Botox works by relaxing the muscles around the upper lip.

 
 

Trap Botox, or “TrapTox”

If you’re on the skincare or aesthetics side of TikTok, odds are you’ve seen videos about “Trap Botox” all over your For You Page. It’s the latest Botox trend that’s taken the internet by storm, and for good reason. Trap Botox, or “TrapTox”, as it’s called on the internet, is the name for the technique of injecting Botox into the trapezius muscle. The Trapezius muscle runs from the back of the head to the lower back ,extending outward to the shoulders. This muscle is large and plays a large part in our everyday lives, stabilizing our bodies and allowing us to stand without assistance. 

One of the greatest perks of Botox and dermal fillers in general is that the results are temporary. If you were to get any kind of injectable treatment, including TrapTox, and decided the “Swan Neck” look is not your cup of tea, results wear off completely in 4-8 months.  

Medical Grade Facials for Men

Aesthetic and Wellness treatments have always been used by men, but 2024 will be the year that they become more normalized than ever before. In 2018, men made up 10% of the Botox market – that jumped to 15% in 2021! Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Bruce Hermann predicts that that percentage will continue to grow each year. 

Medical Grade Facials are the perfect way to introduce wellness treatment into any guy’s life. They’re quick, painless, require no downtime, and provide visible improvements to the skin! Bill Simonson, host of The Huge Show, endorses Urban You and has received a HydraFacial from us with amazing results.

My experience at Urban You was comfortable, quick, and overall very positive. I had a Wellness Consultation and was treated with a Hydrafacial by Adrianna afterward. The facial was very pleasant and made my skin feel hydrated like I had never felt before. The Urban You team has been friendly, helpful, and very knowledgeable of the treatments they offer. I will undoubtedly be a repeat customer and recommend Urban You to my friends, family, and anyone who wants to keep their skin healthy.

What is a Hydrafacial?

HydraFacials are non-invasive facial treatments that cleanse, exfoliate, extract impurities, and hydrate the skin all at the same time. Hydrafacials are known for their unique vortex suction technology that deeply cleanses the skin while infusing nourishing serums. Hydrafacials effectively remove impurities, unclog pores, and hydrate the skin, leaving it smoother, plumper, and more radiant. Think of a Hydrafacial as an all-in-one skincare routine broken into three steps:

CLEANSE + PEEL
Uncover a new layer of skin with gentle exfoliation and relaxing resurfacing.

EXTRACT+ HYDRATE
Remove debris from pores with painless suction. Nourish with intense moisturizers that quench skin.

FUSE + PROTECT
Saturate the skin’s surface with antioxidants and peptides to maximize your glow.

Unlike traditional facials that may involve discomfort and downtime, HydraFacials are painless and require no downtime. The treatment typically lasts around 30 minutes, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules. 

 
 

More Skincare, Less Makeup

The last aesthetics trend prediction of 2024 is simple – fresh, clean skin. As makeup brands release more sheer products, users have to prioritize their base. 2024 is the year of facials, peels, and skincare! As the “clean girl” aesthetic trends on pinterest and celebrities continue to release skincare lines, it’s clear that 2024 will be the year of putting your skin first. “No makeup” makeup is taking the world by storm, relying on skincare to create that perfect, glowy base that allows your skin to shine!
