2021 Skincare Trend: De-Stress Products

I don’t think I’m the only one who feels like I need a good old de-stress, am I? Life has been stressful and it is showing in our skin. Luckily for us, one of the biggest skincare trends to come this year is de-stress products. Get the know-how and the full low-down with my full guide!

What Is De-Stress Skincare?

Ongoing stress can be incredibly detrimental to not only our overall health but our skin appearance too. When our lives are overly stressful, our skin reacts by ageing prematurely, lines deepen, we have breakouts and inflammations take on a life of their own.

Many of my favourite skincare brands have addressed this in their formulas and products. While these brands promote de-stressing with their products, they’re also encouraging consumers to use them as part of their own self care. This is why you will often see de-stressing products that encourage time to yourself, lots of extra rubbing in and soothing motions.

What Ingredients Are In De-Stress Skincare?

Usually, you’ll find that brands are pushing gentle skin hydration, skin repair, SPF and anti-inflammatory ingredients. Any and all of these ingredients will work to soothe your skin regardless of how tired and stressed you are.

You’ll find many of these ingredients are already in your favourite products and I’ve talked time again that SPF should be used in your everyday skincare to prevent sun damage. It’s great news that it’s now being incorporated in more de-stressing products.

Do Anti-Stress Skincare Products Work?

To be clear: de-stress skincare products will not stop you for getting stressed.

Sadly, no magic potion exists that you apply to your skin and you become immune to everyday stress.

However, de-stressing face sprays, creams, lotions and moisturisers will help your skin have a layer of defence against stress and premature ageing.

What De-Stress Products Do I Recommend?

Space Masks

I loved working with Space Masks for a blog feature last year. They are my go-to for de-stressing products. Their masks force me to physically stop and relax. If you’re feeling stressed, invest in some Space Masks – you’ll thank me!

REN

I’ve worked with REN for years, their formulas are excellent and their & Now To Sleep mist is a game changer. I struggle to switch off before bed when I’m feeling stressed but this spray is hypnotic. Spritz and snooze – amazing!

Feather & Down

I’ve written about Feather & Down more times than I can count. Their balms, pressure point serums, pillow sprays and bath creams are my favourite things. I am obsessed with lavender and Feather & Down deliver it to me in spades. I give myself a Feather & Down night at least once every two weeks which involves a long, hot bath with their cream, a hair mask and full on face mask with lavender spray. The stress leaves my body instantly!

Urtekram Beauty

This brand is new to me (more on this to come, stay tuned) but their new soothing lavender range is incredible. All completely organic and plant based – even the bottles and tubes. This new range is comprised of hand cream, body wash, shampoo, conditioner, soap bars and more.

Mavala

You KNOW how much I love Mavala! Their Skin Vitality Vitalising Alpine Micro-Mist is on my desk at work at allll times. High in Vitamin A, it gives you an instant glow. It wakes up your skin while also soothing it. The long days at my desk are now barely as stressful – and I rarely look so washed out after a long day!

Will you be investing in more de-stress skincare this year?
