Navigating Beauty Trends: Ideas, inspiration and new markets
In the ever-evolving world of beauty, staying up-to-date with the latest trends is essential to keep your services fresh and appealing. Let’s explore the trends that are gaining momentum and the ones that are taking a back seat.
- Skinimalism Takes Center Stage: The trend of ‘skinimalism,’ which focuses on enhancing natural beauty with minimal makeup, is gaining popularity. Clients are leaning towards skincare routines that promote healthy, radiant skin. Perhaps in a backlash to heavy, layered or baked make up application that has proved popular over the past few years. It’s a great time to promote skin perfection products and treatments. Think clean girl skin and Old Money aesthetic.
- Sustainable Beauty: Sustainability continues to become a significant consideration in the beauty industry. Brands and professionals that prioritize eco-friendly practices and ingredients are resonating with environmentally-conscious clients. Consider what eco practice you have, or can adopt, in your salon and celebrate them.
- Gender-Inclusive Beauty: The beauty industry has long been a safe place for embracing gender inclusivity, with more gender-neutral products and services on the rise. Beauty professionals who cater to a diverse range of clients are aligning with this inclusive movement. Consider how your commitment to being inclusive can be reflected in your social media presence.
- Gen Z Skintellectuals: Born between 1997- 2012 Gen Z are voicing their beauty preference and they are being heard. Major brands are emerging with Gen Z targeted skincare that showcases transparent beauty; accountable, clean, sustainable, personalised and affordable. Gen Z have grown up educating themselves online, they are INFORMED and socially conscious.
