LONG gone are the days of simply splashing your face with water and applying a pea-sized amount of moisturiser in a bid for glowy skin.
Skincare has massively evolved over the years, with the global industry in 2024 valued at over £95.9 billion, as a result of the huge range of creams, serums, toners and oils now on the market.

And it’s not just A-list celebs who are trying to get a bite of the beauty cherry – as Love Islanders such as Grace Jackson have cottoned onto what a money maker it can be, especially with their fan base being mostly Gen Z who are a driving force in the beauty industry, shaping trends and challenging traditional standards.
As well as drowning our faces with lotions and potions, it appears that more people, like Grace, are also drinking and eating their skincare too.
During her time on the show, fans were quick to praise Grace’s skin as “flawless” and many claimed she was “glowing”.
While one fan beamed: “Grace is literally glowing”, a second chimed in and wrote: “Grace’s skin is IT”.
So if you want skin as stunning as hers, you’ve come to the right place – but it won’t come easy…
Grace’s skincare hack
In a clip from Grace’s YouTube that has since re-emerged online after she came second alongside Luca Bish, 25, in this year’s series of Love Island All Stars, the 26-year-old spilled the secret to her glass skin.
She claimed that not only does her beauty hack ensure her skin glows, but it’s also great for gut health too.

The blonde beauty candidly praised sea moss, which has a huge list of benefits.
She said: “Now, this is up there with one of my favourite things ever in life.
“I rave about this to everybody, I will tell everybody about this.
“This is not sponsored, it’s not an ad, it’s just something which has completely transformed my gut health, my skin, my overall health, my immune system, just everything about it, I just love.
“So this is sea moss if you haven’t heard of this before.
“This is just something I genuinely, by trial and error, have done throughout the course of wanting to rebuild my gut health and my immune system and just my overall health.
It basically transformed my skin – my skin is 100 times better than it was before taking it

“So through a lot of research, I basically started taking sea moss, it’s just so amazing for your body.”
The All Stars runner-up also claimed: “It basically transformed my skin – my skin is 100 times better than it was before taking it.
Top beauty trends for 2025
Hayley Walker, Beauty Expert at Justmylook spoke exclusively to Fabulous about the big beauty trends for 2025.
Haircare
Hair gloss treatments are a must-have as beauty enthusiasts love the salon-quality shine and enhanced colour delivered by the trending treatment.
Hair glosses are multifunctional as they nourish the hair while offering a vibrant, healthy-looking finish, combining 2025’s core trends. This treatment is perfect for those seeking an affordable, at-home glow-up.
2025 will focus on skin repairing and texture-enhancing treatments.
Skincare
Rejuran treatment, a celebrity-endorsed procedure, will see a rise in demand this year as many seek to enhance the skin’s appearance. The procedure entails injecting polynucleotides derived from salmon DNA to enhance skin texture and elasticity. “Rejuvenation is expected to dominate 2025 skincare trends as many seek to a achieve flawless, youthful complexion.
Skincare routines will also include back-to-basic products for a simplified routine.
Ginseng cleansing oil and panthenol cream are among the trending products for 2025. The cleansing oil is excellent for dissolving makeup and impurities without clogging pores and is enriched with nourishing properties to leave the skin feeling and looking refreshed and radiant.
Makeup
Makeup trends will follow suit to achieve youthful and radiant looks. Under-eye brighteners will be sought-after products for delivering coverage while enhancing natural radiance. This beauty tool will complement natural beauty while improving and brightening dull skin.
Makeup looks will be bigger and bolder in 2025 with cluster lashes expected to surge this year. These lashes bring the glam to glamorous looks as they deliver dramatic volume to enhance everyday or special occasion looks.
Peel-off lip stains circulated the beauty industry in 2024 and are expected to dominate in 2025. The growing popularity of this product is due to its ability to provide long-lasting, transfer-proof colour to lips, enhancing a natural aesthetic. Additionally, cherry-coded aesthetics are expected to be everywhere this year as the deep, rich hue can be achieved using peel-off lip stains or bold lip looks for a dramatic effect.
Nails
2025 will be another year of countless, show-stopping nail trends. Goddess Nails and Aura Nails deserve an honourable mention as these designs channel an ethereal, celestial aesthetic for bold, self-expressing nails.
“It’s supposed to be amazing for everything – it says the benefits [are] digestion and gut health, immune support, skin health, dissolves excess mucus, thyroid health, and it basically transformed my whole gut health.
“I take three spoonfuls of this every day with a fresh bottle of water and I do that on an empty stomach.”
My honest thoughts
So after Grace’s glowing review of the sticky stuff, I thought I’d give it a try – and here’s my honest verdict…
Not only is Grace a fan, but model Bella Hadid is another among the list of celebs drinking it every morning – so would I be converted?
Sea moss left me gagging and my eyes wouldn’t stop watering – it wasn’t a pretty sight[/caption]
Unfortunately the slimy texture and strange taste didn’t quite agree with me[/caption]
With a 500ml jar costing £23.95, you might think it’s pricey, but it does come with a long list of benefits – it supports your metabolism and soothes bloating just to name two.
Not only this, but it also aids weight loss, contains natural multivitamins and protects and nourishes your skin.
My eyes instantly began watering and I was really surprised at how such a small amount of the stuff made me wretch

Whilst it can be added into smoothies, it can also be consumed alone, which is how I tried it.
But even just thinking about the taste is bringing back bad memories.
As soon as I opened the jar, the appearance of the texture instantly put me off.
Biggest skincare trends for 2025
Face The Future’s Head of Clinic, Kimberley Medd, shared the five skincare trends predicted to take off in 2025.
1. Exosomes
Exosomes are the buzzword for 2025, taking advanced skin regeneration to new heights. These micro-messengers signal skin cells to repair damage, boost collagen, and accelerate recovery, and they’re a gamechanger for targeting ageing.
2. Streamlined Skincare
The age of 12-step routines is fading as consumers shift to more intentional, multi-functional products. Streamlining skincare not only saves time but also reduces the risk of overloading your skin. In 2025, we’ll see a rise in hybrid products that combine active ingredients for simplified, effective results.
3. Vegan Collagen
Plant-based collagen will dominate the skincare world this year, providing a sustainable, ethical alternative to traditional animal-derived collagen. Expect vegan collagen in everything from moisturisers to serums.
4. The Rise Of AI
AI is revolutionising the beauty landscape, making it possible for consumers to get truly personalised skincare solutions. In 2025, we predict a dramatic shift towards AI-powered tools that help people understand their skin on a deeper level.
5. Hair Loss Solutions –
Hair loss is an issue that affects more men than we often realise, and it’s no longer just something we’re talking about behind closed doors. This year, expect to see a continued rise in demand for treatments that not only tackle hair loss but also nurture overall scalp health.
The smell was pretty vile and after trying just half a teaspoon, I immediately gagged.
My eyes instantly began watering and I was really surprised at how such a small amount of the stuff made me wretch.
Not only was this not pleasant, but I then felt sick for the whole rest of the day.
While some of my family members tried it and didn’t have the same horrific reaction as I did, I definitely won’t be consuming this again, even though I am keen to bring the glow back to my skin.
