What is the Textured Care trend?
Textured Care: In addition to anti-aging, many cosmetic manufacturers are emphasizing skin texture in their offerings. Whether it's appealing to a specific skin type, or promising to soften skin, these products suggest that character, composition and consistency of skin is becoming equally as important as guarding against wrinkles. Replacing "toning," with "softening," these innovations suggest a gentler, more specific self-care routine.
