Everything calls for beauty, the 2023 beauty novelties from creams to nail polishes - Lifestyle

We want performance, the perfect result, we aspire to beauty built with long extensions up to the loins, false eyelashes like manga characters, plastic nails like Sue Ellen from Beautiful and yet we are attracted by the natural make-up, invisible with mineral powders, from creams with active ingredients from regenerative agriculture made in strictly organic company meadows, from hair dye so natural that the prepared porridge can be eaten without side effects, from packaging made with waste, for example potatoes.

To live well in old age we care so much about trying cell regeneration in all its forms, from minimally invasive fillers to hyaluronic acid creams, the most requested even in melting tablets to be dissolved at the moment so as not to lose effectiveness, to make sure with the devices, i.e. high-performance technological objects, to massage us, activate the tissues, stimulate them, conveying increasingly hi-tech products, willing to cryotherapy sessions to smooth out wrinkles and dry the body, to put invisible strips on them to hide lines of time was even just the trick of a party

We oscillate between

, the one that takes overnight as a processing time to obtain an effective result and the hyper advanced all in one, all in one, like the shampoo that does the cell detox, exfoliating scrub and even nourishing mask, the foam that cleanses make-up and then transforms into a moisturizing lotion, the foundation that is illuminating, covering, moisturizing, all award-winning examples that have cutting-edge studies and technologies behind them, All in one which is speed, practicality and also cross practice, a rush to the hybrid that contaminates every sector from skincare to nail, where nail polishes that are classic tend to last longer by not chipping on the first dish wash without being semi-permanent.

These are some of the trends breathed at

the Bologna Fair, a global point of reference for the sector which offers an exhaustive and global overview from above.

Italy is strong in the sector - an industrial sector which for 2023, according to the research office of Cosmetica Italia, estimates the turnover to rise to 14.4 billion euros with an increase of 7.7% on 2022, but also other are no less: the mythological South Korea, avant-garde country and world model, but with China to follow, both countries that work on all fronts of beauty that are original packaging, cheerful colors, design and innovations.

In terms of nature, the UK and Northern Europe are important countries, while Brazil and Australia are especially strong in terms of hair, while nails from America are unrivaled.

On closer inspection it is not just make-up and wigs, therefore futility, both for the economy it moves (the political passages of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and the Minister of Tourism Daniela Santanchè have demonstrated this) and for what it communicates.

These are the same trends of the society divided between technology and green, cross-media in everything.

From the pioneering Italian brand of sustainability

we look at urban consumers with light textures but spf to protect against harmful sun rays that oxidize the skin and cause dark spots, the Skin Regimen line - underlines the director Barbara Gavazzoli - is for them with a protocol that is also detox by removing the micro-powders of the city ​​pollution and with niacinamide and peptides among the ingredients, a line which then in the spa or at the beautician or even at the hairdressers becomes a

, an armchair to sit on for lifting and intensive treatments based on dedicated products, dexterity and devices

from the French

we think of sensitive skins, with a line based on thermal water, from the name of the French town from which it derives, which has a unique mineral composition.

Pure, hyper-mineralized and with a structure so similar to that of the skin, it is absorbed quickly and deeply, for a super hydrating, regenerating and anti-inflammatory action, in practice a formula that is defined as biomimetic.

High tech from

, the Italian brand that is having great success with its innovations.

at Cosmoprof it brought the Deep line for treatments with a head with 19 0.5 mm microneedles for immediate effect but not only: it is a treatment to be included in the beauty routine once a month because it fights progressive oxidation favoring the cycle of cell regeneration that occurs naturally every 21 days, in practice it is a very powerful booster, like the other Carbossy line for a needle-free Botox effect that redensifies the tissues and which will soon be launched for the body as well.

From Ireland with the 2023 excellence award comes

, a line, the founder Nicola Connolly told us, the result of over a decade of studies that this woman has done while living and studying between Ecuador and Peru, seeking well-being with local communities.

Still in the field of awarded excellence there is the English

the hard plastic ones to be applied with glue are also back on the market, as well as the adhesive ones to be adhered to one's nail and while reconstructions, gels, semi-permanents are now rampant, they are making their way, responding to a market vacuum, let's call them nail polishes hybrids, not varnishes that last a day or two, not 3 weeks but a fortnight and can be removed with normal solvents with acetone, easily at home, they are enamels that leave the nail underneath intact and therefore healthier than the others.

A 'gel effect'

or the new TNS line, 'healthy' nail polishes, which are also curative as well as brilliant and long-lasting like those of the American

, awarded for

of the Kuur line, an all in one which also contains nourishing oil and does not require base or top, definitely a good goal or the Italian

On the subject

there is the South Korean

Its founder Yanghee Yoo this year has won two thanks to 'inventions' on the theme of foundation: captivating and ingenious packaging and a cushion format, i.e. with a soaked pad that has a moisturizing illuminating foundation inside, a unique mosaic formula in the world.

Then there is a mineral trend, powder make-up like that of

For the Italian brand b corp

which celebrates 40 years as a pioneer, the next challenge is to trace the supply chain of ingredients.
