  • Trending for ALL AGES in Seattle

    Trending for ALL AGES in Seattle

    As Gen Xers reach middle age, there’s a growing investment in creating products tailored to this solution-seeking consumer. For fall, trends are shifting towards comfort, balance, and preserving youth, which ironically is also a priority for the Gen Y and Z community. Fragrance is back, and we’re seeing major upgrades to rain boots and lipgloss. Skincare is more sensitive and smarter, and menopause has taken over supplements. We head back to Seattle and the set of New Day Northwest to share some insight on what products are trending from Gen X to Z.

    Gen X ers wore a lot of cologne and perfume back in the day; a lot of it was UNISEX. Then everything simmered out with millennials and fine fragrance. Well, I don’t know if you’ve gotten a sniff, but fragrance is back. According to the top perfume hub in Seattle, A.K.A Macys, this scent designed for men still leads sales. It’s fresh, light, and popular with all ages and genders. 

    Tommy Bahama Maritime
    PRICE: $84.00
    SHOP: @Macys
    Drawing inspiration from the pleasure of sailing, MARITIME is an ode to the dynamism and power of the sea. A fresh, invigorating fragrance for the spirited explorer, this fragrance blends aromatic botanicals with intriguing complexity for a scent that evokes warm trade winds over crystal-clear waters. Tommy Bahama Maritime is an invigorating scent that layers herbaceous notes over sandalwood, musk, moss, and ambergris. It’s an intriguing fragrance with a fresh, warm scent for the spirited explorer.

    Every decade, our skin takes on a new challenge, and I’ve never met anyone who has looked in the mirror and thought I wish I looked older after 30. Whether it’s hormonal acne or menopause, chances are you’ve used Cetaphil to aid your sensitive skin. Now, the brand has just launched its first-ever collection of anti-aging products. THEY ARE PHENOMENAL! 

    Cetaphil Healthy Renew Face Serum
    PRICE: $22.99
    SHOP: @Target
    Navigating physical signs of aging with sensitive skin can be a challenge, as common ingredients like Retinol can be too harsh for sensitive skin. This is why Cetaphil created their first anti-aging line, Healthy Renew. The entire line harnesses Retinol alternative, Purified Peptides, to deliver clinically proven results, helping to defend against visible signs of aging, while being gentle enough for sensitive skin. The Healthy Renew Face Serum absorbs quickly and visibly improves skin’s firmness, texture, and tone while boosting skin’s luminosity and hydrating for 24 hours.

    LIPGLOSS is here to stay for another season, with everyone from teens to grandmas rejoicing. Leave the lip oils to the youth (they have time to reapply all day), and if you’re 30 and up, look for a gloss with benefits. This clear gloss is soothing, lightweight, and helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles. OH, and it has a non-sting-y Atelcollagen complex to help lips firm and plump. Yep, it’s amazing. 

    Theraderm Lip Complex
    PRICE: $31.50
    SHOP: @Amazon
