The beauty industry is evolving at lightning speed, and technology is at the heart of this transformation. From personalised skincare to AI-driven shopping experiences, innovation is reshaping how products are developed, manufactured, and sold. Here are 15 game-changing ways technology is redefining beauty in the digital age:

Product Development & Innovation
1. AI-Powered Skincare Analysis – Apps and devices now scan your skin, analysing concerns like hydration levels and fine lines to recommend tailored skincare solutions.

Manufacturing & Sustainability
