Every day, your skin goes to battle with the environment. UV rays, pollution, blue light from laptops, and harsh ingredients do a number on our skin—which is why the next wave of skin-care products is working to support it in the modern world. Think “skin-barrier-supporting” and “microbiome-enhancing” serums that help fuel optimal skin function and, of course, a healthy glow.

“Especially now, there are lots of impacts from pollutants in the environment and ozone to UV rays, and all of these can have a negative impact on the [skin’s] lipid barrier,” explains Jim Hammer, a cosmetic chemist, such as redness, acne, or dryness. “So, proper skin barrier function is really key to maintaining healthy, hydrated skin.”

Beauty brands are rising to the occasion with new products designed to nourish and support this important ecosystem of the skin, says Cindy DiPrima Morisse, co-founder of CAP Beauty. “Instead of stripping away layers of the skin, products are helping build up its own defenses.”

Launches from companies like Marie Veronique, Biossance, Allies of Skin, and microbiome-protecting Mother Dirt are anticipating the environmental stressors your skin might encounter over the day, and the imbalances they could cause.

They’re using ingredients like lipids, ceramides, adaptogens, and even live bacteria to help fortify your skin’s natural functioning, so it can do its thing—and be your first natural line of defense against technology and the pollutants of the modern world.

From cycle-tracking apps and birth control-delivery services to at-home STI testing, the reproductive health space is being disrupted by women-founded startups focused on getting health access into the hands of women—and out of the hands of politicians.

“Most key stakeholders at the helm of insurance companies, hospitals, government—even digital health companies—are men,” says Katherine Ryder, founder of the online health clinic Maven. “It’s starting to change now, which is really exciting. Creating a more equal system means bringing women’s health out of the shadows.”

Take Maven, whose digital-first approach provides around-the-clock access to health-care pros—without that interminable wait on the exam table. Meanwhile, Eve Kit and SmartJane allow you to screen for STIs (including HPV) from your own bathroom, and delivery services like Nurx and Prjkt Ruby bring birth control right to your doorstep. The common (disruptive) denominator? They’re affordable services that don’t require health insurance.

Tech is also getting smart about your period. Women’s health expert and Well+Good Council member Alisa Vitti’s period- and hormone-tracking app MyFLO shows you how getting in sync with your cycle can help you operate at peak levels all month long, allowing you to plan your productivity as well as your fertility. And in August, a new study found the contraceptive app Natural Cycles to be as effective at preventing pregnancy as the pill (when used correctly). NextGen Jane wants to get real up close and personal with your flow—it’s developing a “smart tampon” that aims to prevent disease by tracking your biological changes. “Women’s health is an area that’s had very little innovation,” says Cycles+Sex conference co-creator Lauren Bille. But with these new companies “it’s expanding, thriving, having a renaissance! Thank god,” says Bille. “Because we are way behind.”

As more people than ever are cleaning up their food choices—asking “Wait, what’s in my food?!”—their pets’ plates are getting the same treatment.

Now pet owners and pet food brands are committing to high-quality kibble made from fresh, whole, and clean ingredients (no GMOs for your fur-baby)—and even recipes tested on humans. And the category is taking off: In 2016, the US natural pet food sales generated $8.2 billion (a quarter of the total US pet food market), and it’s projected to grow another 9.5 percent between now and 2021. Your pup might not have a seat at your dinner table, but his food soon won’t be too out of place.

Castor & Pollux is leading the charge in saying no to mystery meat by featuring ingredients lists filled with organic (read: real) proteins and veggies. Nutro’s dry food recipes also feature non-GMO ingredients lists, and are “Paleo-inspired.” (Just like your diet?)

And startups like The Farmer’s Dog, Smalls, and Ollie (which recently secured $12.6 million funding and now ships to all 48 continental states) deliver fresh, refrigerated meals for your dog and cat straight to your door. Kinda like Blue Apron for pets, without the cooking.

“People think of pet food as kibble or canned,” says Ollie co-founder Gabby Slome. With “freshly cooked food” and increased ingredient transparency (Castor & Pollux uses at least 95 percent USDA organic-certified ingredients, for example), these companies are looking to raise the bar for the unregulated pet-food industry that’s been freely using additives, preservatives, artificial flavors, and much, much worse.

Supplements for your furry friend are coming in 2018, too, as brands like Nordic Naturals, Vital Planet, Wholistic Pet Organics, and Hyperbiotics roll out vitamins and probiotics to help with pet digestion, joint support, and nutrient absorption. Soon you and your four-legged BFF will have more similar healthy-eating habits than ever before.

If 2017 was the year of staying in, 2018 is decidedly the time when your home gets a whole lot healthier. The inspiring, stylish design details that adorn the places where we chill out—like yoga studios, drop-in meditation studios decked out with crystals, and even that spa we should be so lucky to sneak off to—are now adorning our living rooms. And it’s going way beyond scented candles and bath caddies.

“Because more people are going to meditation and yoga studios, you see decor that takes cues from these places,” says Elana Kilkenny, a sacred space designer who recommends making deep energetic changes to your home, but says smaller changes can also be impactful. “For some, bringing pieces like crystals and salt lamps into their homes can be a quick way to bring more calm into their surroundings.” The most covetable pieces in home decor are pottery dishes for burning palo santo, aromatherapy diffusers and oils, crystal bookends and coasters, and Himalayan salt lamps. And the buzzy hygge and Swedish lagom design trends are influencing this nesting trend, too.

A sign of the design times: These once woo-woo wellness items are now being stocked in big box stores like Home Depot. (We repeat: Home Depot!) It has a plethora of Himalayan salt lamps, which are said to emit the same healthy negative ions of a walk along the ocean. West Elm sells terrariums and succulents galore. (BTW: Pinterest says that searches for indoor plants have risen over 200 percent in the last year alone.) Amazon is now a major distributor of essential oil diffusers. And IKEA sells affordable faux sheepskin rugs, so that you can layer them on every surface of your home.

Says Elizabeth Kohn, the interior designer-founder of The Cristalline: “People want to feel good in their homes, just as much as the clothes that they wear or the food they put in their bodies.” Which explains why Lululemon tested a Pottery Barn collaboration this year, and why other wellness brands may also turn to home furnishings in 2018.

There’s a stylish shift happening in fitness fashion: Pretty neutrals that sidestep “dress like an athlete” black Spandex are going to need some space in your closet. Activewear companies are increasingly focused on softer hues, like nudes, blush pinks, seafoams, and pale greys—often in looser, lifestyle silhouettes that are inspired by downtime in meditation or nature versus deadlifts at the gym.

Harbingers of the trend, like Outdoor Voices, Lululemon’s collab with Taryn Toomey, and Athleta’s Restore Collection, suggest that the hottest looks will be the ones that make you look great and feel cool…calm, and collected. “We launched Restore this year to underline the power of mindfulness, and the need for women to give themselves the permission to pause,” said Sarah Carlson, Athleta’s VP of Design, who’ll be continuing to build on the collection’s success into 2018.

“Customers are more open to wearing whites, nudes, and pastels. I expect to see a lot more of this trend,” says Jennifer Bandier, citing brands like Koral and Varley, which she retails at her five Bandier “active fashion” stores. Stephanie Dardenne, director of merchandising at super-stylish activewear juggernaut Carbon 38, confirms similar: “Although black is still the most popular color choice, our buy into neutrals has doubled.”

Fabrics and styles are also getting cozier. With super-soft sustainable modal and cottons, like with Athleta’s “semi-fitted” joggers and wide-neck tees. Drapey sweatshirts from Alala and Monrow embrace a comfy hygge sensibility (not a high-intensity training one). Even major athletic outfitters —think: Reebok and Nike—are debuting looser silhouettes and subdued hues for spring and summer 2018. These “softer-side” pieces are becoming the new, relaxed basics of athleisure.

In 2018, everyone’s becoming moonstruck. Conversations about Mercury in retrograde and your Saturn return are becoming as mainstream as horoscopes. Expect monthly Moon Reports to grow in popularity, as more people consult the planet as a guide for personal growth—and a thought-starter for dinner party conversations.

Cosmic cool kids are setting intentions that are aligned with the new moon and the full moon (said to be potent times)—or flocking to full moon sound baths at Wanderlust Hollywood, new moon ceremonies at Space by Mama Medicine in New York City, and guided moon rituals with meditation guru Kelly Morris.

Even if you personally haven’t started planning your dinner parties by lunar cycles (or joined Moon Club, a monthly online membership program for “spiritual activists” founded by The Numinous founder Ruby Warrington and Alexandra Roxo), there are plenty of women ogling Mandy Moore’s crescent-shaped necklace on This Is Us (in between sobs) and using the moon as as a guide for reflection and personal growth.

The moon—with its monthly cycles and powerful pull that can make oceans (and your uterus) move to its rhythm—has become something of a #girlpower totem, says Well+Good contributing astrologer Jennifer Racioppi. Women are looking to feel empowered.

“Even five years ago when I talked about moon cycles, it was like blank stares coming back at me,” Racioppi says. “Now [women can’t get enough of it] because it’s a way we can connect with the power of these natural forces that we’re aligned with.”

Change is coming to yogurt culture. Like almond milk, which went from a niche dairy substitute for vegans and the lactose-intolerant to an option so omnipresent that Starbucks is getting in on the action, now yogurt is poised to be the next big nut-milk trend.

And the market is ready to dip in a spoon. Nonstop launches into the (non)dairy case—everything from Kite Hill Greek-style yogurt made with almond milk to Foragers’ drinkable “cashew-gurt”— suggest that 2018 is going to be the year of alt-yogurt.

Take the the success of breakout brand Kite Hill, which has won fans with its creamy, indulgent almond yogurt: Sure, it’s a mainstay at places like Whole Foods. But thanks to an $18 million investment led by General Mills subsidiary 301 Inc., it’s about to be everywhere. Bringing non-dairy products to the mass market is the goal, according to Kite Hill interim CEO John Haugen. “Up to now, taste is what held people back from plant-based yogurts, but now that nut milk yogurt has caught up and there are options available that deliver on taste and texture, it’s time for nut milk yogurt to have its moment too,” he says.

So why alt-yogurt, and why now? According industry research, the category may grow to reach $35 billion by 2020, largely driven by millennials, who are generally more health-conscious and less likely to define “milk” as a dairy product exclusively—and they’re willing to pay for them.

Expect to see a lot of new offerings in the new year, especially those using coconut. While early adopters have been swooning for The Coconut Cult (the wallet-draining $25 raw coconut yogurt has been flying off West Coast shelves since its 2016 launch), now kombucha brand GT’s Living Foods will unveil a “living coconut yogurt,” New Earth Superfoods is launching coconut probiotic kefirs, and Coco Rico is debuting more French-style coconut yogurt flavors. And in January, Ripple will shake things up with a nut-free, completely plant-based Greek yogurt. With so much probiotic-loaded goodness in 2018, the biggest question might be which alt-yogurt to try next.

Here’s a fizzy paradox for you: 2018 may be the year gut-health-friendly kombucha becomes more mass and more niche than ever. The once-obscure fermented tea drink is now thoroughly mainstream, and with its newfound popularity comes a coterie of small, craft brewers dedicated to next-level, seasonally driven ‘booch.

The numbers on kombucha’s growth are stunning. According to Square, kombucha sales are up by more than 12 times from three years ago, and one research firm says the category is already worth an annual $600 million (and counting). That potential may be why small upstarts such as Health-Ade, a Los Angeles-based company that started out selling its brew at farmers’ markets in 2012, is expanding thanks to a $7 million cash infusion—or why Peet’s Coffee recently invested $7.5 million in Revive Kombucha. And PepsiCo’s 2016 acquisition of Kevita means you’ll be soon able to sip probiotics almost everywhere soda products are sold.

At the same time, kombucha is more of a speciality drink than before. Much as the craft beer and artisanal coffee movements put product quality into the spotlight, there’s now a lot more passion for the artistry that goes into creating kombucha with new purveyors coming to market. Regional ‘booch brewers from Brooklyn’s Pilot to Lion Heart of Portland, OR, are creating inventive flavors with a local twist. And it’s not just a coastal thing, either: In New Orleans, there’s Big Easy Bucha’s Voodoo Brew, which incorporates Southern flavors such as chicory and vanilla coffee. Farther north in Pennsylvania, Sole makes an oak-aged blend of blackberries, blueberries, hibiscus, and ginger.

Whether people gravitate toward the fermented, fizzy stuff for the taste or for the gut health, the category is more desirable than ever. Expect to see kombucha’s probiotic presence permeating your grocery store fridge aisle. If you’re not already on the ‘booch bandwagon, this may be your best opportunity to drink up.

Super-cool phone-free social clubs, purposefully no-WiFi cafes, and other environments for IRL connection are on the rise—and in demand.

Making time to unplug is a higher priority than ever before, and places that help us put our phones down are popping up everywhere. Some restaurants are serving up discounts if you power down, for example, and others are mandating that date-night dinners be phone-free only (so, no booking other Bumble dates while you’re on one), and even some smoothie bars kindly forbid your devices and want to inspire you to “re-connect as a community, away from social networks.”

Hotels may now actually brag about not having WiFi: Everywhere from Camp Grounded in Mendocino, CA, whose motto is “disconnect to reconnect” to Villa Stephanie in Baden-Baden, Germany (the famous spa town)—which blocks all WiFi signals from your room by embedding copper plates in the walls to prevent your boss’ emails from reaching you on vacation—to the Mandarin Hotel Las Vegas’ ‘digital wellness escape” (check your phones at the front desk, please). Want to go where no cell towers can reach you? A new glamping startup called Hipcamp can find you an off-the-grid place, a la Airbnb.

And slow-the-eff-down brand Folk Rebellion (AKA the the brilliant minds behind those “Analog as Folk” tees) is in the planning stages for a tech-free clubhouse in New York City—basically a place to pause for always-on professionals. “People feel more lonely, more stressed, and anxious than ever,” says Folk Rebellion founder Jess Davis. “The technology that was meant to connect us and simplify our lives, when overused, in fact, causes the opposite reaction.”

Expect the “it” spots of 2018 to be spaces where going analog is the entire point…not the sign of a bad WiFi connection.
