In the realm of skincare products, fashion trends, or wellness beverages, there are four “essential” elements that we anticipate seeing in 2024. Let's dive in this years beauty tips, trends and returns!
Skincare ingredient of 2024: Glycolic Acid
Glycolic acid is the gold standard of the AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid) family. Derived from sugar cane, it possesses the smallest molecular size among AHA’s, allowing for a deeper penetration. Glycolic acid works by breaking down keratin buildup on the epidermis, penetrating into the dermis, and contributing to diminishing fine lines/wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, unclogging of pores and prevention of bacterial accumulation.
An important fact that is frequently overlooked, is the hydrating benefits that glycolic acid brings to the table! Glycolic acid has the ability to stimulate the production of mucopolysaccharides, thereby increasing the natural synthesis of hyaluronic acid and elevating hydration levels. Glycolic acid has been around for decades and is renowned to help various skin types and majority of skin conditions.
Below you will find some of our favourite serums containing glycolic acid. Remember that glycolic acid is an exfoliating ingredient, therefore it is best to be used in the evening, every other night (unless specified otherwise). Don’t forgot to apply and reapply your sunscreen throughout the day!

Wellness Drink of 2024: Healthy Mocktails
Health-focused mocktails infused with essential vitamins and minerals provide a delightful and beneficial way to start the new year, a tradition worth incorporating annually. Whether you are adding magnesium to your organic hot cocoa, collagen to your herbal tea or probiotics to your smoothies, nutritious mocktails offer flavourful means to your daily supplement requirements. In addition to their health benefits, we highly recommend sipping these refreshing mocktails from your elegant martini-glasses during those joyous girls nights or self-care days; health-focused and sophistication? Yes please!

Fashion & Beauty Trend of 2024: Statement Necklace Pieces & Smokey Eyes
While we have cherished the minimalism beauty that has graced us the last couple of years, we are ready to revive the striking beauty looks. In the coming year, there’s a collective desire for the return of captivating elements, such as smokey eyes and statement necklaces. Elevating a smokey eye with a statement necklace featuring shimmery diamonds, timeless pearls or multi-row choker pieces, is a sophisticated and impactful look to make a triumphant return.
