Neutrogena uses five key ingredients:
- Vitamin C which is a potent antioxidant to brighten your skin and eliminate discoloration

- Lash Tinting and Lash Lifting
Don’t you just hate the amount of time you spend applying mascara to make your lashes longer, fuller and intact? And then they drop with the last swipe of mascara. Lash lifting is like a push-up bra. It gives you an extra oomph without the need for lash curlers. Lash lifting is like a perm but for your eyelashes. There are many more options here.

With lash tinting, a dye is applied to your eyelashes to make them darker and add extra depth. Lash tinting lasts up to 3 weeks and is a low maintenance procedure. The tinting process is brief, lasting 10 minutes.
- CBD vs. Hemp Skin Care Products
There is no denying that CBD and Hemp based skin care formulations are here to stay. CBD skin care products and especially CBD (cannabidiol) oil and hemp oil are taking over 2019. Countless CBD infused creams, lotions, oil sand salves are flooding the market. CBD oil and hemp oil are non-psychoactive components. They don’t result in mind-altering effects.
CBD oil is produced from one of the hundreds of components of the cannabis plant and its popular for its pain relieving and anti-inflammatory properties. Hemp oil is produced from pressing the hemp seeds.
CBD oil is loaded with anti-inflammatory properties making it an ideal solution for people with acne, eczema, and psoriasis. Hemp oil is rich in omega-3, -6 and 9 fatty acids which hydrate the skin for a supple complexion and vitamins A, C and E to prevent wrinkles.
Choose full spectrum CBD which is the most potent. Keep off from CBD isolate based products. They are cheaper alternatives but heavily processed stripping away most of the potent plant nutrients.
- Face Sculpting
Do you religiously tone your facial muscles? Regular face sculpting boosts production of collagen and strengthens elastin fibers. Face sculpting aids in blood and oxygen circulation assisting in lymphatic drainage.
There are tons of tools and devices in the market making it quite overwhelming to choose a suitable option.
The easiest, fast and available option is to exercise your fingers in circular, upward and downward motion. You can also gently glide a jade or quartz roller over your skin in an outward motion to enable lymphatic drainage
Metal rollers are ideal for relaxing muscles with a lot of tension such as the facial muscles. Keep in mind you need to apply a generous amount of serum or sheet mask on the skin before using the metal roller.
Bottom Line:
There are numerous personal care trends to watch out for. Some are making a comeback from 2018 where they were a massive hit. Quite a number of skin care trends could not cross over to 2019 because they were a massive miss.
The listed personal care trends for 2019 are to die for if you plan on taking your skin care regime a notch higher for glowing radiant skin all year long.
