Ginseng Toner and Skin Care Meta Trend
According to Exploding Topics, interest in ginseng toner in the past two years has grown 268%. Per the source, such hydrating toners are said to "help restore the skin to its natural, slightly acidic pH level." They can remove dead skin cells for a more even complexion. Rising interest is attributed to the brand Beauty of Joseon; searches its ginseng toner grew 6,600% in the past year.
Ginseng toners are said to be part of a larger ginseng skin care meta trend, driven in part by the belief that ginseng promotes collagen production and reduces signs of aging. Ginseng serums, eye creams and sunscreens are examples of such products. For one, Origins offers a Ginzing SPF 30 daily moisturizer featuring fermented golden ginseng.
#DroopyEyesMakeup
Finally, according to Spate, the hashtag for "droopy eyes" makeup (#droopyeyesmakeup) has racked up 3.1 million views on TikTok in the past week. Various videos include tips to give hooded eyes a lift, enhance or correct eye shape and more.
Just a few days ago, InStyle reported on the characteristic of droopy eyes in the article, "Makeup Tips for Downturned Eyes, Straight from MUAs" (makeup artists). In the latter, one technique advises consumers to apply a dark brown eyeshadow along the lower lash line and "smoke it out toward the tail of the brow" to create the illusion of a cat eye. Products recommended for this effect include Jones Road The Best Eyeshadow and MAC Satin Eyeshadow.
