Skip ahead to see the biggest skin care trends.
But where do these trends come from? Most experts will tell you the answer is Asia. "For years, we looked to Europe for skin care trends and innovations," says Dana Nicolette, national aesthetician for Amore Pacific. "Now, everyone is focused on Asia." Nicolette points out that the average Korean woman's skin care regimen is 22 steps (and I thought my eight-product ritual was elaborate!), which may explain why Americans are so fascinated by Asian skin care.
Take BB creams, for example: These do-it-all beauty balms have been wildly popular in Asia for years, and now the U.S. market is saturated with them. There are even trends within the BB category (read on to find out what they are).
Whether skin care trends originated in Asia or dermatologists' offices (another important sphere of influence), trendy skin care products all have two things in common: They're multitasking and -- for the most part -- they're effective. Ready to see the best of the best?

I use products with exotic oils on my hair and my face and i love how moisturizing they are! They are very popular ingredients of the organic products!

I have never tried a sleeping mask, i move around a lot when I sleep so I'm afraid it'll all end up smeared on my pillow during the night!! But I'm really looking forward to trying the YesToGrapefruit dark spot correcting cream, sounds great. Thanks again totalbeauty!

This info is very helpful. I quit using the Garnier BB because of that - too oily. I'm currently using the Dr. Jart w/sunscreen bb cream. It has primer, spf, and works on detoxifying the skin. it's pricey, but a little goes a long way and Sephora carries a small size (cheaper) so that helps. I tried the Cover Girl CC cream, and didn't really care for it. My skin didn't take too well to that one. I'll look into the self tanner, since I have so many freckles, that may be a good way of getting a more even skin tone.

All of these beauty products sound great, especially the self-tanners and the oil-free BB creams. I stay out of the sun, so I\'m always looking for good self-tanner. The BB cream I\'m currently using makes my skin feel greasy, so hopefully, the oil-free versions will work better, especially for the summertime!

eager to try the BBs targeting combo/oily skin - i'm definitely one who felt the t-zone shine using a BB :(

Very impressed with info and that there's a choice between high-end (and costly) product and something more affordable. And NEW !! Always love new scientific (it is, isn't it? right) info to help. Thanxx.

I'm looking forward to trying the new self tanners. I haven't use one in over 20 years!
