8 Things Beauty-Lovers Have Searched For the Most During Lockdown

While 45 percent of Curate Beauty's customers are clean boutiques, this category on their site has grown exponentially in the last four weeks, with clicks into the collection upped by 285 percent. Key players in this arena are brands not only conscious of their ingredients, but also taking into account their packaging and carbon footprint, too. Take Frank's Remedies Ultimate Detox Mask (£32), which uses activated charcoal made from coconut shells — a more planet-positive, sustainable alternative to standard charcoal.

We may not be styling our hair every day while working from home, but our Zoom meetings call for a need to look somewhat presentable. According to Spate, there has been a 71.4 percent growth in searches for hair oils since last year, with many keyword searches indicating the want for natural ingredients — such as coconut, jojoba, and avocado oils. For a scalp-friendly solution that also nourishes the lengths and ends, try Neighbourhood Botanicals' Age of Aquarius Hair Oil (£29), which uses jojoba oil, camellia oil, and shea butter to hydrate, smooth, and add incredible shine.

Missing your aesthetician as much as we are? While we can't get a professional facial during lockdown, derma rollers — at-home microneedling devices that, according to Google, have seen a 54.4 percent growth in searches since this time last year — are the next best thing. One of the most requested brands on Curate Beauty has been Flexi Skin London, a London spa brand that provides at-home tools inspired by professional skin-care services. The Microneedler (£35) is safe and easy to use at home, with 0.25mm needles that create micro-channels in the top layer of the skin, encouraging cell repair and collagen production to promote firmer skin, finer-looking lines, and a more even-toned complexion.

DIY beauty searches during lockdown have soared in comparison to this time last year, according to Google analytics. The search for "face mask" was up 233 percent, and lucky for us, a Sunday pamper at home with a fancy face mask isn't too out of reach. Try Keep Cool's Shine Intensive Brightening Mask (£3); the brand's unique ingredient complex "Cool Keeper" — derived from Korean antipyretic herbs — helps to bring your skin to its optimal temperature, leading to a fresher, plumper, more hydrated complexion.
