The skincare industry is constantly changing and evolving to help people achieve healthier and more radiant skin. And thanks to some recent innovations and technologies, providing clients with a personalized skincare regimen is easier than ever!

1. Skin Analysis…From a Selfie?

Yes, you read that right. Many companies these days are beginning to use “selfies” and artificial intelligence software to analyze skin tone, complexion, and other factors. This technology has become especially popular in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, when many people were unable to see their skincare professionals in person (and were also suffering from dreaded “maskne” and other skin afflictions).

Using AI technology, skincare and cosmetics companies have been able to analyze selfies to make customized recommendations on products and ingredients.

2. Individualized Skin Treatments

Speaking of personalization, today’s skincare trends are all about custom-tailoring products and services to clients for the best results. From standard menu spa treatments to fully individualized treatments and products, skincare companies like Proven are using technology to their (and their clients’) advantage.

3. 3D Mask Printing for a Perfect Fit

While 3D printing has been around for a while, its potential has only begun to be explored in the skincare industry. Neutrogena, for example, has recently made headlines by using 3D bioprinting to custom-print their popular hydrogel face masks for a perfect, no-slip fit. This “MaskiD” concept is currently in beta testing, but Neutrogena hopes to roll it out to the general public in due time.

4. “Smart” Laser Technology

At the New York Institute of Beauty, we take pride in staying on top of the latest industry trends; for example, we’re able to offer our clients a skin quiz that provides them with a numbered result to determine their Fitzpatrick type. From there, we can enter those results into our state-of-the-art lasers to provide the ideal treatment.

The Bottom Line on Technology and Skincare

Despite all the advancements in skincare, we still believe that no technology or app will ever be able to replace the human touch. After all, there’s just nothing quite like having another person pamper you and help you take the best possible care of your skin. With that in mind, there’s never been a better time to launch your skincare career. New York Institute offers various programs including but not limited to Esthetics, Advanced Esthetics, Oncology Skincare and so much more! To learn more, book your tour at NYIB today.
