What it is: Rubies, diamonds, emeralds -- you've heard of them, and you're going to be hearing more about how they're making their way into your skin care.
What it does: These gems are being used in exfoliators. The particles are so tiny, they're practically dust -- so they're extremely gentle. Even though they're small, they're hard and smooth, which is ideal for polishing skin. These products are pricey -- but that shouldn't be too shocking.

I write about everything from hairstyles to nail art, but my passion is skin care. Call me weird, but nothing gets me jazzed more than wrinkle research and new skin care ingredient breakthroughs. I could look at before and after pictures for days.
Skin care is an amazing field because there's so much science -- and new skin care ingredients are being discovered practically every day. I'm not saying you should give up on retinol, and I think everyone should slather on SPF religiously each morning, but there's also a ton of new skin care products you should try. From serums to BB creams, beauty brands are packing high-tech research into every step of your routine.
My evening ritual can be as many as eight steps (cleanse, exfoliate, tone, three serums, moisturizer, and eye cream) and take me 20 minutes, and I'm not advocating that for everyone. But I'm confident that you can integrate one more product into your regimen -- and I think it should be one of these.
Here are the new skin care products I'm most excited about -- as well as a breakdown of their key ingredients and what makes those ingredients special. This way you'll know what to look for when you're shopping for new products. Which ones are you most excited to try?
