As 2022 comes to an end, I’d definitely love to take a closer look and reflect on the year in more than one way. In the last 12 months, the shopping marketplace has been flourishing with trending products. From new hairstylers to skin innovations like water bank technology, 2022 gave us some of the best beauty products that will definitely be on our shelves in 2023 as well. While there was a hype with celebrity beauty launches, we also saw plenty of buzz by minimalistic brands. From more sustainable approaches to larger colour ranges, we definitely had many more options in skin, hair and makeup this year and here are some of our personal favourites that we tried.
Hands down, one of the most hydrating creams that I used this year! Laneige’s water bank cream is infused with the goodness of hyaluronic acid that instantly helps in dealing with dryness and soothes the skin. It gives your skin a very plump and supple texture. This gel-like moisturiser is perfect to quench dry skin and give a very refreshing tone.

A super smooth roll-on eye serum is just what we need to deal with dark circles and puffiness. This rejuvenating eye serum is literally on my must-have list. Apart from dealing with puffiness, it also helps soothe anxiety and tension around the under-eye area.

When it comes to cleansers, I have a long list of good ones to recommend but so far, this has been one of the best picks of the year. Soft and smooth skin is a dream come true and this cleanser is perfect to serve the purpose. Enriched with the goodness of squalane, this cleanser is perfect to hydrate your skin and clear it deeply. It has a balm-like consistency which, when rubbed for 20-30 seconds, turns to a clear oil-like consistency.

A multi-styler is the solution to your every hair care worry. This happens to be one of the best; among many, additions to my beauty routine. With less heat technology, Dyson's multi-styler has been a true game changer. It curls, shapes, smooths, and hides flyaways with no extreme heat. Plus, it's re-engineered barrels now curl in both directions.

A new brand that was launched this year, Ayuga has been a surprisingly staple in my kit with this face cleanser. With the goodness of sandalwood and turmeric, this cleanser helps in dealing with tanned skin. It might have a very slight tingly sensation at first but the result makes it worth it.
