Biggest skincare trends for 2025
Face The Future's Head of Clinic, Kimberley Medd, shared the five skincare trends predicted to take off in 2025.
1. Exosomes
Exosomes are the buzzword for 2025, taking advanced skin regeneration to new heights. These micro-messengers signal skin cells to repair damage, boost collagen, and accelerate recovery, and they're a gamechanger for targeting ageing.
2. Streamlined Skincare
The age of 12-step routines is fading as consumers shift to more intentional, multi-functional products. Streamlining skincare not only saves time but also reduces the risk of overloading your skin. In 2025, we'll see a rise in hybrid products that combine active ingredients for simplified, effective results.
3. Vegan Collagen
Plant-based collagen will dominate the skincare world this year, providing a sustainable, ethical alternative to traditional animal-derived collagen. Expect vegan collagen in everything from moisturisers to serums.
4. The Rise Of AI
AI is revolutionising the beauty landscape, making it possible for consumers to get truly personalised skincare solutions. In 2025, we predict a dramatic shift towards AI-powered tools that help people understand their skin on a deeper level.
5. Hair Loss Solutions -
Hair loss is an issue that affects more men than we often realise, and it's no longer just something we're talking about behind closed doors. This year, expect to see a continued rise in demand for treatments that not only tackle hair loss but also nurture overall scalp health.
One person, who bought the skincare product from Look Fantastic said: "My skin has improved so much since I started using this serum a few weeks ago.
"I can see the difference in the texture of my skin, it leaves it smooth, clear and soft."
A second person said: "I've been using this for 3 months now and can see a visible difference in the size for my pores.
"The texture of my skin is flawless, and I have received so many compliments!"
A third person said: "I've been using it consistently for the past three weeks now, as a follow-up to my Botox treatment.
"I've never seen my skin look this lifted and smooth before."

Urgent warning after several people develop Botulism following Botox injections
People considering receiving aesthetic procedures including Botox are being urged to take precautions. The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) says 'several' people from County Durham and Darlington suffered bad reactions after procedures involving botulinum toxin, also known as Botox. The victims all developed their symptoms a few weeks after receiving the injection – but evidence so far doesn't suggest the product has been contaminated. Reactions include severe drooping of the upper eye lids, double vision, difficulty swallowing, slurred speech and lethargy. UKHSA advises doctors look out for botulism in people who may have recently received an aesthetic procedure, so they can be given the appropriate anti-toxin. Dr Joanne Darke from UKHSA said: 'Botulism is a rare infection, but it can be serious. It is caused by toxins produced by Clostridium botulinum bacteria. 'These toxins (but not the bacteria) are the active ingredient in Botox and similar products. There are effective treatments available. 'If you have had a recent botulinum toxin treatment and are having symptoms such as difficulty swallowing or drooping eyelids, contact NHS 111 for further advice and seek treatment. More Trending 'It is important to get checked out so you can have peace of mind and treatment if needed. It is also important to go to a licensed practitioner.' The UKHSA is reminding anyone considering an aesthetic treatment that practitioners should wear protective equipment and wash their hands, should carry out a pre-consultation, should be prepared to share their qualifications and should require a consent form. Botulism is a rare but life-threatening condition caused by toxins produced by Clostridium botulinum bacteria. The toxins attack the nervous system which causes paralysis. Symptoms can take several days to develop, or appear within hours. Depending on the exact type of botulism, some people initially have symptoms such as feeling sick, being sick (vomiting), stomach cramps, diarrhoea or constipation. Other symptoms include: Drooping eyelids Blurred or double vision Facial muscle weakness Difficulty swallowing (dysphagia) Slurred speech Breathing difficulties Babies suffering from botulism may have a weak cry, find it difficult to feed, or have a floppy head, neck and limbs. Botulism is a serious condition – if you or someone you know has symptoms, go to your nearest A&E or call 999. Amanda Healy, County Durham director of public health, said: 'We are working closely with colleagues at UKHSA to investigate the cause of these adverse reactions and to ensure all possible steps are taken to prevent more people becoming unwell. 'I would encourage anyone who has recently undertaken an aesthetic procedure, and is experiencing any of the symptoms listed, to contact NHS 111.'

String of negative botox reactions prompts health chiefs to issue warning
A health warning has been issued after several people in the North East of England experienced adverse reactions to botulinum toxin, commonly known as Botox. The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has been alerted to cases in County Durham where patients sought medical attention for reactions including severe eyelid drooping, double vision, difficulty swallowing, slurred speech, and lethargy. These symptoms reportedly emerged weeks after receiving the injections. While the source of the reactions remains under investigation, there is no indication that the product itself was contaminated. The UKHSA has advised clinicians to remain vigilant for signs of botulism in individuals who have recently undergone aesthetic procedures. Prompt identification is crucial to ensure timely treatment, which may involve administering an anti-toxin. Dr Joanne Darke, consultant in health protection with the UKHSA, emphasised the seriousness of the condition, stating, "Botulism is a rare infection, but it can be serious." 'It is caused by toxins produced by Clostridium botulinum bacteria. 'There are effective treatments available. 'If you have had a recent treatment and are having symptoms such as difficulty swallowing or drooping eyelids, contact NHS 111 or A&E for further advice and seek treatment. 'It is important to get checked out so you can have peace of mind and treatment if needed. It is also important to go to a licensed practitioner.'

People considering an aesthetic treatment are reminded that practitioners should wear protective equipment and wash their hands, should carry out a pre-consultation, should be prepared to share their qualifications and should require a consent form. Earlier this year, a petition was launched to crackdown on 'unregulated' cosmetic treatments like botox and lip fillers. It was backed by Conservative MP Bradley Thomas who warned of an "emergent healthcare crisis" involving unregulated cosmetic treatments such as Botox and lip fillers on high streets. He told the Commons that the demand for non-surgical aesthetic treatments is being "partially fuelled by social media and societal pressures on young people".
