Exciting Technological Advancements in Beauty and Skin Care




Many exciting technological advancements hit the news every day, and a large number of them are in beauty and skin care. Methods using chemistry, engineering, biology, and other scientific disciplines can give beauty products a technological edge. Take a look at the latest technological advancements in beauty and skin care:

Shade matching

In the world of makeup, the hottest shade right now is the smart shade. Blushes, lip colors, and even foundations now come in a form that matches the right shade for you. The way this works depends on the product, but most will contain a type of chameleon pigment, which goes on white and then adjusts to coordinate with your skin tone. If you have a color matching foundation, you can even find products that will adjust after application to coordinate with your blush and other makeup.

Going electric

Bob Dylan did it—why not skincare? More and more products are hitting the shelves that utilize the power of electricity, like electronic skincare brushes. These brushes use a rotating or pulsating action to cleanse the skin of impurities, priming the skin for cleansing, moisturizing, or whatever skincare routine works for you.

Drawbacks to this type of product can be the bulkiness and the price. A top notch electric skincare brush will be rather pricey, so you need to consider whether this is worth adding to your routine. They can also be difficult to store in your bathroom space or travel with, so be aware of how much prime real estate you have available to avoid overcrowding.

Extraction methods

The sad truth is that many incredible beauty product ingredients are out in nature right now, but we lack any effective way of extracting them from the source. Oftentimes, typical extraction methods cannot procure ingredients from plants and other natural sources without damaging them, taking away what makes that ingredient so special or powerful.

However, the good news is that extraction methods are improving, and a few products are now available that contain hard-to-reach ingredients in quality form. For example, skin cream NeriumAD contains Nerium oleander extract. This ingredient has been used therapeutically for centuries, but has always been held back by damaging extraction methods. NeriumAD’s advanced extraction technique preserves Nerium oleander’s powerful qualities, resulting in the improved appearance of wrinkles and fine lines—an amazing way that science and nature can work together to enhance the benefits found in the natural world.
