Hair rejuvenation is adopting longevity principles with preventative, personalized approaches. New diagnostics include DNA testing (TrichoTest) and hormone panels at clinics like London’s Aevum salon to identify genetic hair loss factors. Scalp care mirrors skincare sophistication with barrier-repair treatments and microbiome balancing (Philip Kingsley Hair Shedding Drops, L’Oréal Growth Booster). Regenerative innovations include at-home stem cell exosome treatments (Calecim Advanced Hair System), LED helmets combining red light therapy, and stem cell hair transplants. Quick fixes include smart keratin bond extensions for instant density while long-term protocols develop. (photo/harper’s bazaar)

Hyaluronic acid alone often fails mature skin—barrier support is crucial. Dermatologist Dr. Anjali Mahto recommends multi-molecular weight HA combined with glycerin, peptides, and niacinamide to plump lines and support skin structure. Her clinic favorite is iS Clinical Hydra-Cool Serum for menopausal skin. Top picks include Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair, Medik8 Liquid Peptides for fine lines, Clarins Double Serum for anti-aging, and budget-friendly Byoma Hydrating Serum. Apply to damp skin and immediately seal with moisturizer within one minute to prevent water evaporation. (photo/harper’s bazaar)

Ceramides—naturally occurring lipids comprising over 50% of skin’s outer layer—are becoming essential in eye creams for their barrier-protecting properties. The bio-identical ingredient works harmoniously with all skin types, sealing moisture in the delicate under-eye area which has thinner skin and fewer oil glands than the rest of the face. Dermatologist Dr. Alexis Granite recommends pairing ceramides with hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and niacinamide for optimal hydration. Top picks include Medik8 Crystal Retinal Ceramide Eye, CeraVe Eye Repair Cream, and Drunk Elephant Ceramighty AF Eye Balm. (photo/harper’s bazaar)

Inspired by Chemena Kamali’s Chloé AW24 runway and noughties boho chic revival, “boho blonde” combines multi-dimensional tones—pine blonde, organic wheat, almond white, rustic pale brown—for an effortlessly lived-in look. London’s STIL salon reports surging client requests since spring for this low-maintenance colour achieved through highlights, balayage, and blended roots. The look suits most skin tones when properly adjusted and works on various blonde starting points (though darker bases require multiple sessions). Style with mermaid waves for undone texture.

Dermatologist Aegean Chan explains lips are biologically unique—thinner skin, fewer oil glands, weaker barriers—making specialized lip care essential. Top picks include Dior Addict Lip Glow for custom pH-activated color, viral Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm, Rhode’s peptide-enriched formula, Fresh Sugar Advanced Therapy for on-the-go hydration, and makeup artist Gucci Westman’s lightweight gel-oil balm. Chan recommends Avène Cicalfate+ for extremely dry lips and La Roche-Posay Cicaplast B5 as an affordable option. Quality balms should maintain hydration for 3-4 hours minimum.

PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide), a DNA fragment typically extracted from salmon sperm, is captivating the beauty industry with 998.4% growth in consumer interest since 2025. The collagen-boosting, anti-inflammatory ingredient—95% molecularly similar to human DNA—supports skin healing and barrier repair. K-beauty brands like Laneige, Mixsoon, and Anua are launching PDRN serums, creams, and masks, while vegan alternatives use banana and Damascus rose extracts. The ingredient is expanding beyond skincare into makeup primers and lip care products. ()
