Biggest skincare trends for 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.

Awkward: Viral song that left Monica out of sync with friend Rachel

Singer-songwriter JC Stewart has revealed how an online interaction with one Friends star led to an 'awkward' real-world encounter with another leading cast member of the iconic show. The Northern Irish artist, whose songs have clocked up 350 million streams on Spotify before he even releases his first album later this month, went viral during the pandemic thanks to Jennifer Aniston, who played Rachel in the show. The actress reposted Stewart's lockdown-themed parody of the Friends theme song, I'll Be There for You – made, he said, while 'being an idiot' at home and posted on the emerging TikTok. Stewart told 'I went to bed and woke up the next day, and I've never had anything like it on my phone. I had calls from Good Morning America, The Today Show and I ended up chatting to all these people.' @iamjcstewart Just leaving these here…#fyp #friends #cover #jcstewart #isolationgames #onmyown #comedy #parody ♬ original sound – JC Stewart The acknowledgment from Aniston never went further, but the singer later ended up in the company of her Friends co-star, Courteney Cox. Ms Cox is in a relationship with Johnny McDaid of Snow Patrol, the Northern Irish band who were early patrons of Stewart's career and whom he still calls friends. But he admits Ms Cox had 'no idea what I was talking about' when he brought up Ms Aniston's enjoyment of his viral video. The acknowledgment from Aniston never went further, but the singer later ended up in the company of her Friends co-star, Courteney Cox. Pic: Shutterstocl 'It was awkward,' he laughed. Stewart, from Magherafelt, Co. Derry, said it was 'interesting seeing what that massive viral moment could look like' after Ms Aniston shared the clip, but added that it 'probably didn't change my life, long term'. He said: 'I'm like, 'You guys know I write real music, right?' I think we gained like 50,000 followers instantly, and I think we lost 45,000 of them when they all realised I wasn't a Friends account.' Yet the 28-year-old former MTV Push Artist of the Month has a hugely impressive online following, despite a relatively low profile here. A good portion of his audience is in Europe, where he plays some of his biggest gigs, including a recent thousand-seater in Amsterdam. His track I Need You To Hate Me (72.5 million Spotify plays) took off on the continent and topped the charts in Czechia – again during the pandemic. 'I remember doing all these interviews and people were like, 'You're number one in the Czech Republic this week',' he recalled. 'I was like, 'Oh sick, but I'm in Magherafelt. My Dad said I have to mow the lawn.' 'I think with the timing of it, it was hard to feel it. But I'm unbelievably grateful for it. It's pretty crazy,' he said. The piano and guitar player admits he doesn't really know why his music seems to 'resonate a lot better in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Poland and Finland', but said it is 'just a lot easier for me to go play there'. 'They just seem to get what I'm doing a bit more,' he said. View this post on Instagram A post shared by JC STEWART (@jcstewart) He describes his anthemic style as 'that singer-songwriter, storytelling, doleful kind of thing that leans into pop music', with Foy Vance and Tom Odell named as influences (and also people he has gone on to work with). 'I just try and feel that punchin-the-chest moment. That's my favourite thing about music. If I can get that into a song and I can feel it, then I'm happy with it usually,' he said. He has also co-written with 'great guy' Niall Horan – albeit over a 'very patchy' Zoom call – and with Lewis Capaldi on the track Hollywood. 'I wrote that song at midnight in Ealing in West London one time with Lewis and these guys [Philip] Plested and Kane [Parfitt],' he remembered. 'It was just a bit of fun, but it turned into something bigger.' Stewart can expect to win a few more Irish devotees this month with the release of his first album, Space Hurts, followed by huge concerts in Dublin and Cork, where he will support Duran Duran and Chic. He called the line-up – playing at Malahide Castle in Dublin and Virgin Media Park in Cork – 'random enough', but said he is 'obsessed with both' acts. And it won't be his first encounter with either. He first met Nile Rodgers of Chic while doing work experience at a London recording studio aged 17. 'I've kept loosely in contact with them,' he said. 'I haven't seen them in a few years, so it'll be nice to now go and play a show with him 11 years later.' He initially claimed he is 'absolutely not' planning to join the legendary disco/funk outfit onstage but later said: 'We'll see.' 'I think that would be an embarrassment to me and everybody who knows me. I'd probably start dancing or something,' he joked. Stewart has already supported Duran Duran in Greece. 'Somebody dropped out of a show. I was on holiday in Crete and got a call like, 'Could you be in Athens in two days?' 'And I just had to scramble the band, fly them over from Belfast, and I think we played to, like, 15,000 people in Athens. It was about 40 degrees, and I honestly nearly died, but it was good fun.'

Primark went Stateside for the first time in September 2015, with the opening of a store in Boston. There are now 27 stores in America with branches in Florida, Brooklyn, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.

'Hello, I want to surf' -- Irish creator's visa plea in Namibia leaves internet in stitches

An Irish travel content creator has left social media users in stitches after sharing a glimpse at the last minute letter he wrote as part of the application to renew his visa in Namibia, Africa. Jack Ring is a travel content creator who boasts more than 800,000 TikTok followers and 400,000 Instagram followers and he is currently based in Africa. Taking to social media over the weekend, Jack detailed how he was left 'embarrassed' following a trip to the Immigration Office in Namibia when he applied to extend his stay. An Irish travel content creator has left social media users in stitches after sharing a glimpse at the last minute he wrote as part of the application to renew his visa in Namibia, Africa. Pic: Fleetwood Jack/ TikTok Detailing the experience, Jack chuckled as he admitted he didn't know he had to write a letter for the application, but was told to quickly write one as the offices were closing for the day. 'When I got in they were like: 'Oh, you have to quickly do the letter now and quickly put it in 'cause we're closing,' and I was like: 'It's half ten in the morning. Why are ye closing?'' Jack revealed. 'She was like, write out your letter if you don't have it,' he continued, 'So I took the only letter I have, it's the back of a Malawi Authority Customs. I didn't really know what to write and she was putting pressure on me for time so I was like I'm just going to quickly write down whatever and whatever, like.' @fleetwoodjack0 Another 30 days baby ♬ original sound – Fleetwoodjack Panic over and letter written, the Irish native queued up to drop his letter in, with the woman he had been previously dealing with going over to check over his letter. 'She looks at it and she's like, 'Hmm. Do you know how to write a letter?'' Jack shared, 'I never felt so embarrassed in my life. 'I feel like I've been too long out of school now, and I just had no idea what I was doing.' Detailing the experience, Jack chuckled as he admitted he didn't know he had to write a letter for the application, but was told to quickly write one as the offices were closing for the day. Pic: Fleetwood Jack/ TikTok The woman went on to explain to Jack he should have started the letter with 'Dear Sir/Madam' and added the immigration office's address on the top right corner. Jack then read out his letter through laughter. The letter read: 'Hello. I would like to extend my Visa longer to stay in Namibia so I can surf. The waves are really good here, and I would like to keep surfing them. Thank you, Jack.' 'She was like: 'Why did you write it on the back of a Malawi Revenue Authority?' She was like: 'Do you know you're not in Malawi?' The hilarious anecdote has amassed more than 50,000 likes in tow days, with many taking to the comments likening Jack's letter to a note a child may write. Pic: Fleetwood Jack/ TikTok 'I don't know. I don't know how I managed to get the extension in Namibia, but I got. They were actually really sound but I'm disappointed in myself that this is the standard right now.' The hilarious anecdote has amassed more than 50,000 likes in tow days, with many taking to the comments likening Jack's letter to a note a child may write. One said: 'Hi Santa, I would like to stay in Namibia for a while and I also want a new surfing board because I was a very good boy, thanks, Jack, age 7 and a half.' Another asked: 'Did she give you a colouring book and crayons?' A third commented: 'Sir, that is a note.'
