Welcome back to another beauty roundup! Every month we round up our favourite ads, campaigns, trends, and creators from the social media beauty industry. 

So, who’s been busy in the beauty world this month?  

Trend spotlight

Products I Regret Buying

Brands and TikTok users alike are sharing products they “regret” buying. In reality, they are sharing products that have had a positive impact on their beauty regime, eg “this made my hair too healthy”.

Skin Cycling

The skincare trend of the month is skin cycling. Recommended by professionals, skin cycling is a four day process of using an acid on day one, retinol on day two, and then resting your skin for the next two days. Professionals and skinfluencers have been sharing their cycling routines.

@sarahpalmyra Replying to @joan_jou Welcome back to skin cycling night 3 or hydrate/recovery night! As you probably already know I’m passionate about skin barrier health so these products also double as my holy grails for a damaged skin barrier.
