The Viral TikTok Trend That's Transforming My Beauty Routine in 2026

Here's what you need.

Here's what everyone is talking about in the beauty world, broken down in one quick digest by Popsugar Beauty section lead Jessica Harrington. We're halfway through the first full week of January, meaning resolutions and goal setting are still in full force. I'm a big fan of capitalizing on that new year, new me energy that spikes this time of year, and if you're looking to incorporate some new beauty habits into your routine, you've come to the right place.  I'm a big believer that the "high maintenance to be low maintenance" trend on TikTok is the way of the future, especially as everyone tries to save money. Now is a great time to learn a new skill or incorporate a new hack into your regimen that will help you look and feel your best. Think: DIY teeth whitening, learning to do your own nails, dermaplaning regularly for the smoothest skin of your life, and self-tanning instead of spray tans.  You can find my shopping list for items to make that happen ahead.    Until next time, Jessica @jessieleigh_h on Instagram @jessieleigh_h on TikTok Heads Up The Popsugar stories you should have your eye on.
