Ready to switch up your face washing routine? Spring is right around the corner, a season known for marking new beginnings, and we’re forecasting some big changes to be made.
Speaking of new, our long-time favorite Japanese skincare brand, Shiseido, recently released the WASO line. Inspired by one of the hottest trends we’ll be seeing in beauty this year, the WASO line is comprised of seven products to enhance your natural beauty. Here’s how you can revamp your beauty routine with the line:
Step 1: Cleanse
Water optional. That’s right, this alcohol-free, oil-free, honey-gel cleanser foams without water to remove makeup, dirt and excess oil. So whether or not you want to splash some of that cold water in your face first thing in the morning, or after a long day is up to you. You can let it warm up while massaging the foam carefully over the face before rinsing.
Why we’re loving it: The Gentle Cleanser contains Honey and Royal Jelly Extracts to nurture skin for a healthy look and deliver amino acids, vitamins and minerals to the skin’s surface for added moisture.
Step 2: Exfoliate
Do this 1-2x a week. Take a dime-sized drop of the Soft-Cushy Polisher onto your fingertip and smooth over the face, avoiding the mouth and eye areas. Lightly massage the polisher using small, circular motions and rinse thoroughly with cold or lukewarm water.
Why we’re loving it: It’s good for dry, oily, normal, combination and sensitive skin. Plus, its formulated with Soy Extract to help remove excess surface cells and impurities deep in pores.
Step 3: Soften
After cleansing, squeeze a dime size amount of the Fresh Jelly Lotion onto a cotton pad or the palm of your hand and smooth over the face. This gel-to-liquid softening lotion is alcohol-free and helps restore skin’s moisture by locking in water for dewy, plump skin.
Why we’re loving it: Also good for all skin types. It contains White Jelly Mushroom which acts like a sponge to hold onto water and help deliver moisture to the skin’s deeper layers.
Step 4A: Moisturize
This should be the last step of your morning skincare routine. Take two pearl-sized drops of the Color-Smart Day Moisturizer SPF30 onto the fingertips and smooth gently over the face. This tinted day moisturizer will adapt to your skin color with long-lasting hydration, and much needed SPF for protection throughout the day.
Why we’re loving it: Its PhytoResist System+ uses the power of botanicals to help heighten skin’s resistance to internal and external stressors and serves as a great makeup base!
Step 4B: Moisturize, again!
Just because winter will be over soon, doesn’t mean you can’t expect the occasional cool breeze or bouts of dryness to wreck havoc on the skin. Double up on the moisture at the end of the day with two pearl-sized drops of the Clear Mega-Hydrating Cream.
Why we’re loving it: It can be used under or over makeup, and is formulated with whole Carrot Cells to help hydrate skin.

2017 set into motion the curly and natural textured hair trend. It’s not going anywhere for 2018, and we’re so hear for it! So curly girls rejoice, and ditch the relaxer this year. To achieve the look: avoid brushing textured hair when styling it, if you want to preserve the curl pattern. Instead, finger brush your hair or use a three in one style pick.

We saw a lot of dirty pastels and grey hair in 2017, but this year we’re kicking it up a notch and going luxe with some silver strands. A super shiny, metallic finish transforms matte grey hair into something a bit more special. The metallic trend is popping up everywhere from clothes to makeup, hence why silver is taking over as the new grey. Whether you decide to do a light gloss or go heavier on the color, keep hair healthy and shiny with color-treated hair friendly 
Another trend that got its roots (no pun intended) in 2017, and isn’t seeing any signs of slowing down in 2018. Although it might not be brand-new, it is embracing the natural texture and easy styling of many upcoming trends (while adding for a much-needed mid-length cut to the mix). So definitely not as scary as going for a pixie cut or bob. You can also do with or without bangs, because it’s all about getting that mid-shaft volume with texturizing sprays.
