The biggest beauty trends according to Boots for 2023

The biggest beauty trends according to Boots for 2023

The top beauty shop in the UK has released its 2023 edition of its annual Beauty Trends Report. The study highlights six trends that Boots believes will have an impact on the beauty industry in 2018. These trends range from newly popular social media trends to the advancement of scientific skincare to the emergence of hybrid shopping experiences. With double-digit YOY growth in premium beauty, skincare, self-selection cosmetics, and haircare, Boots beauty aisles have had a great start to the year.

In order to give our customers even more compelling reasons to buy for beauty at Boots, we continued to alter, develop, and improve our offering throughout 2022, according to Paul Niezawitowski, director of beauty at Boots. We added more than 20 new brands to our inventory in the past year, making beauty more widely available than before. The “lipstick effect” is beginning to take root, but it appears to extend beyond simply lipstick as sales of cosmetics, haircare, and skincare goods at Boots are increasing year over year. I’m proud of the effort we’ve done to become the top beauty retailer in the UK, and 2023 is expected to be even bigger.
