What is Beauty Snack?
Whether you're an office worker or someone who spends time at home, we're probably all familiar with the infamous 3pm slump. That sluggishness that comes over you after lunch, when the day is about to end... To relieve this sluggishness and give you some energy, you may be reaching for a sugary snack that you will probably regret later...
But there's a new trend that allows you to enjoy a brief moment of relaxation at a certain time of the day: it's called Beauty Snack. Of course, this beauty snack does not refer to edible snacks. This trend is all about implementing small beauty routines throughout the day. The idea is to spare 5-10 minutes for yourself throughout the day to relax and have fun, both your skin and your soul. Beauty snacking is all about easy, convenient and literally 'bite-sized' ways to use skincare products throughout the day.
This trend, which is both fast and fun, is a skin care routine that can be easily implemented without disrupting daily work.
The Beauty Snacking trend emerged during our first quarantine due to coronavirus. If we go back to those days, during this period when we stayed at home, we were experiencing endless quarantine days that made us all anxious, exhausted, sometimes depressed and at the same time afraid of the situation. During this period when we could not leave the house, homemade treatments and masks gained great popularity thanks to the curfew restrictions.
The beauty industry has also come to our rescue with a self-care trend that gifts us delightful, 'bite-sized' relaxation with skin care products to improve our mood and brighten our days. This trend helps us get rid of monotony, but also provides a moment of rest, energy, self-care and relaxation; It helps the skin feel and look better, while momentarily relieving us of stress.
According to trend forecaster WGSN, the term 'beauty snack' is defined as quick beauty treatments that have no relation to food, are easy to use and leave minimal mess.
The increase in the working-from-home lifestyle during and after the pandemic caused the morning skin care and make-up routine to be disrupted. The beauty snack trend offers little 'pick me up' beauty moments that can be easily applied throughout the day while working, relaxing or on the go.
