FORGET LOSING YOURSELF TO FILLER AND Botox, laminated eyebrows and blinding white teeth. 2024 is going to be all about living better and living longer, and utilizing your own body to do so.
Newsweek spoke to leading experts and trendsetters within the beauty and wellness industries to bring you their top predictions for 2024 that you need to try out, including the best ingredients, treatments and products for you this year.
Ingredients
Mushrooms
Mushrooms first fused with beauty in 2005 when Dr. Andrew Weil and Origins launched the Mushroom Soothing Treatment Lotion, and experts will continue to endeavor to unlock the incredible powers of mushrooms into 2024.
"I find them fascinating, and I'm a big fan of skincare brands that harness the best of laboratory-derived ingredients alongside the best of botanicals," Dr. Sophie Shotter, an aesthetic specialist in London, told Newsweek. "From reishi to tremella to snow mushrooms, they are cropping up everywhere in skincare for their soothing and hydrating properties as well as for helping to address many skin concerns. We are just beginning to understand the power mushrooms can deliver from improving focus to helping balance mood, they're a powerhouse adaptogenic ingredient."
Adaptogens will become another 2024 buzzword. These include roots, herbs and other plant substances and supplements that can help manage stress and restore balance in the mind and body.
Whole Food Plant-Based Diets
Despite the often-prohibitive time and money demands, many people began to dabble with plant-based diets in 2023, a trend that board-certified dermatologist Dr. Deeptej Singh, from Albuquerque, New Mexico, believes will become even more popular in 2024.

PARTING SHOT: Alan Cumming
AFTER THE MASSIVE SUCCESS OF THE TRAITORS LAST YEAR (STREAMING now on Peacock), host Alan Cumming knew this third season had to be bigger. “There was a pressure to not just repeat ourselves, it actually upped the ante.” And they did just that, with a more explosive cast and even wilder twists. “It is bigger. I’m sort of a cult leader. I’ve gone from just a dandy lord of the manor in his castle to official cult leader. I’m fine with it.” Cumming hosts a castle full of reality TV stars who all play a game of murder in the hope of winning upward of $250,000. But Cumming says their TV background has little to do with their success on The Traitors. “Everybody has this sort of myth that you have to be in one of those gamer shows to do well at this game, and it’s not true. Sometimes it’s actually good to have better social skills.” Last year, Cumming’s Emmy win ended RuPaul’s historic 8-year winning streak for RuPaul’s Drag Race. “I saw Ru and I went up to him and I just went, ‘I am so sorry.’ And he just went, ‘Con-drag-ulations.’ And I was like, ‘He said it!’” [laughs]
