You've heard of vitamin C, green tea and pomegranate, right? But what about Tiron? This newly discovered antioxidant is putting all of our old favorite anti-aging antioxidants to shame.

A study from Newcastle University in the UK shows that Tiron protects skin from 100-percent of UVA damage. Yes, you read that right -- 100 percent. (Resveratrol, by comparison, offers 22-percent protection.) Unlike most antioxidants that target the entire cell, Tiron hones in on the cell's mitochondria (the energy center) to stop damage before it starts.

Unfortunately, this man-made compound still needs to be tested for safety, but you can bet you'll hear about it when it gets approved. And I'll be bathing in the stuff.

Blowout salons like Drybar have taken over the country, and they've spawned a legion of copycat beauty service boutiques. Braid bars and ponytail bars came first, but the latest have nothing do with hair. Rouge is a makeup bar in New York City that offers a range of makeup services -- from every day to wedding day. Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, SKN Bar, has honed in on a single in-demand facial service: Botox. And Skin Laundry, also in California, offers 10-minute deep-cleaning laser facials. Prices at these beauty bars are slightly lower than most spas, salons and doctors' offices, but the real appeal is the comfortable atmosphere. We're sure more beauty bars are in the works, but the question is: what's next?

BB creams continue to dominate the skin care-meets-makeup hybrid category. And last month, Jergens launched the biggest BB spinoff since CC cream: Jergens BB Body Perfecting Skin Cream, $12.99. It has all of the multitasking benefits of a BB for face (skin firming and brightening) with just a hint of color that won't rub off on clothes. I've heard rumors that other brands are feverishly working on their own versions, so it's only a matter of time before more body BBs hit shelves.

Snail slime and snake venom are just two of the icky animal treatments that crept up in recent years. And if scientists at Utah State University get their way, synthetic spider silk will be the ingredient we're all talking about in 2015. Researchers have been perfecting a formula that, they say, moisturizes the skin and leaves behind a -- no surprise here -- silky feeling. USU scientists are so confident in their discovery, they're opening a Spider Silk Lab in Spring 2014, and they'll be marketing the ingredient to cosmetics companies soon thereafter.

Selfies -- they're not just for Instagram anymore. Now you can snap a picture and use it to get a beauty consultation through your smartphone. Hair color company Madison Reed has online hair color-matching technology. Simply upload a photo of your hair color, and it will recommend a shade that's perfect for you -- goodbye grays. And if you have trouble while you're coloring, you can connect to a consultant through the Madison Reed app. The company is even testing a program in San Francisco where an on-call colorist shows up at your door.

Snail slime facials and BB creams are so 2013. The new beauty trends for 2014 are so cutting edge, many aren't even available yet. You'll definitely want to keep an eye out for these technologies when they appear later this year, in 2015 and beyond.

The biggest beauty breakthroughs include skin care developments like probiotics to treat acne (dermatologists are definitely getting on board), artificial spider silk and the brand new antioxidant, Tiron. In the hair care world, there's a company that analyzes and recommends an at-home hair color based on a photo you take with your smartphone. And in body care, it's all about the BB cream -- they have even more great ingredients than the BB you use on your face.

Be the first to try one of these amazing new beauty trends for 2014, and we'll let keep you posted when the other beauty breakthroughs are headed to a store near you.
