People often damage their skin's natural line of defense by over-treating skin with harsh exfoliants, using too many active ingredients at once, or ignoring individual sensitivities, and BYOMA is on a mission to improve worldwide [skin barrier health](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stressed-skin) with education, and gentle yet effective products that are age-appropriate. "We have seen that kids as young as 10-year-old are using retinols, acids, and other clinical-strength products that are simply not suitable for their skin," said BYOMA founder Marc Elrick, "As a brand, we feel a deep sense of responsibility to help address these concerns and take beauty in a more responsible direction." While the statement-making [out-of-home and digital out-of-home campaign](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/byoma-shorttime-show) provides an up-close look at skin, the 30-Day Skin Barrier Reset invites people to set aside their exfoliators for a month. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.2/10 - Popularity: 71% | Activity: 73% | Freshness: 43% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Skin Barrier-focused Skincare:** Increasing consumer awareness about the importance of maintaining a healthy skin barrier is driving demand for skincare products tailored to protect and repair this critical protective layer. - **Gen Z Skincare Education:** Brands are prioritizing educational campaigns to inform young consumers about appropriate skincare practices, highlighting the need for age-specific information and products. - **Minimalist Skincare Regimens:** The trend towards simplifying skincare routines by eliminating unnecessary or harsh ingredients is gaining momentum as consumers seek to minimize long-term damage to their skin. - **Digital Campaigns for Skincare:** With the rising effectiveness of digital out-of-home advertising, skincare brands are innovating their outreach strategies to create memorable, educational experiences for consumers. - **Gentle Skincare Ingredients:** As awareness grows around sensitive skin and the potential harm of harsh acids, the skincare industry is focusing on gentle, effective formulations that maintain skin health without irritation. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Skincare Product Manufacturing:** The industry is evolving with new product lines that emphasize barrier-enhancing and gentle care, responding to a shift in consumer preferences for skin health. - **Beauty Education Services:** Emerging companies are addressing the demand for informed skincare choices by developing educational platforms and content to guide consumer habits. - **Digital Marketing:** Increased reliance on digital platforms for marketing skincare challenges and campaigns is transforming how brands engage and educate their target audience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Skin Barrier Support Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skin-barrier-awareness-month.md) - [Nourishing Barrier Treatments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barrier-repair-treatment.md) - [Festive Skincare Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/byoma-wonderlab.md) - [Barrier-Boosting Bodycare](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/byoma-body.md) - [Post-Summer Skincare Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/back-to-skin.md) - [Skin Barrier-Supporting Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/simple-active-skin-barrier-care-repair.md) - [Truth-Forward Beauty Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-ordinary-x-uncommon.md) - [Barrier-First Blemish Skincare](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/byoma-blemish.md) - [Debunking Skincare Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/periodic-fable.md)
