September feels like a time for new beginnings: schools have started again, the next series of Strictly is just around the corner, the shops are filled with autumn fashions \u2013 and there\u2019s plenty of new beauty products on the shelves to get excited about.<\/p>\n
Of course, the skincare staples still remain. Wear SPF every day. Clean your face properly. Hyaluronic acid, vitamin C and retinol aren\u2019t going anywhere. Your current products aren\u2019t now irrelevant, and of course please do stick with what\u2019s working well for your skin. This is more to highlight what you\u2019ll be seeing more of in the shops, decipher some complicated words, and maybe impress your skincare-savvy pals with your beauty knowledge. Here\u2019s what\u2019s to know\u2026<\/p>\n
Unlike some of the more familiar acids (glycolic, salicylic, lactic), tranexamic acid, or TXA, doesn\u2019t exfoliate \u2013 instead, it\u2019s an amino acid that slows down the production of melanin, helping to brighten skin and improve the look of dark spots. It\u2019s especially relevant at this time of year, after a summer of sun exposure can cause pesky patches of hyperpigmentation to flare up. It\u2019s also a great ingredient for spot-prone skin, as it can help to fade post-acne scars.<\/p>\n
\u201cOne of the great qualities about TXA is its versatility,\u201d says Kate Major, senior manager of product development at Farmacy Beauty. \u201cIt\u2019s easily incorporated into an existing routine and it can be used with other skincare actives including retinol, vitamin C and niacinamide.\u201d<\/p>\n

This science-y sounding word is the latest tweakment on the block. Like the popular Profhilo, this injectable works to improve the quality of your skin, not change the contours of your face (that\u2019s the job of dermal fillers).<\/p>\n
\u201cPolynucleotides are the basis of DNA (the ones used in this treatment are usually from fish origin),\u201d explains aesthetic doctor Sophie Shotter. \u201cThey\u2019re injected into the skin in a gel-like substance and over a course of treatments, your skin should feel more hydrated and firmer, and look more radiant. They can be used in all areas of the face, body and neck.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gone is the \u2018no pain, no gain\u2019 attitude that the best way to get a great complexion is by throwing every active ingredient and the kitchen sink at it, regardless of any irritating side effects. Nowadays the focus is firmly on protecting and strengthening the skin barrier (its outermost layer) to minimise moisture loss, sensitivity and breakouts, as good skin means strong, resilient skin. Look for products containing ceramides, which are lipids that act like cement, reinforcing your skin.<\/p>\n

Lots of products claim to be suitable for all, but most clinical trials are still only done on light skin tones. But darker skin has physiological differences that should be taken into account.<\/p>\n
\u201cSkin phototypes IV, V and VI on the Fitzpatrick scale have a denser stratum corneum and a less stable skin barrier, causing sensitivity and moisture loss \u2013 this means skin needs deeper hydration,\u201d says Noelly Michoux, founder of 4.5.6 Skin. \u201cAlso when darker skin is irritated it produces extra melanin to protect these areas, leading to hyperpigmentation.\u201d<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve recently seen the welcome introduction of more skincare brands specifically taking the needs of melanin-rich skin into consideration (like the below), and when shopping, look for evidence of product testing carried out on a range of skin tones.<\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re a complete retinol rookie or you\u2019d stashed your vitamin A away over summer (it can make skin more sensitive to the sun), now\u2019s the time to gradually introduce it into your routine \u2013 and with these smart new formulas, it\u2019s never been easier. Elizabeth Arden\u2019s newbie combines two potent retinoids with ceramides into a cream that gives quick results without any of the typical retinol side effects. Meanwhile, in clinical tests, Antipodes\u2019 \u2018bio-retinol\u2019, derived from the cacay tree, outperformed some of the big-name brands in stimulating collagen.<\/p>\n

Blame it on the Little Mermaid hype, but there\u2019s been a massive beauty trend for all things marine this year. While algae isn\u2019t a new skincare ingredient (Cr\u00e8me de la Mer, for example, has been around since 1965), it\u2019s cropping up in launches everywhere at the moment. And it\u2019s worth fishing out, as algae and seaweed are suits-all superfood ingredients with a multitude of skin benefits, from delivering antioxidants to boosting collagen production.<\/p>\n
