The beauty industry constantly evolves, with new trends and innovations emerging each year. Several beauty trends have taken the industry by storm. Personal health is a big feature and concerns about personal health are shaping many of the trends this year. From skincare to makeup and haircare, some popular beauty trends are making waves this year.
1. Chemical Free Beauty Products
The focus on personal health has ignited a trend of clean beauty products. Consumers are increasingly conscious of the ingredients used in their beauty products and the impact these ingredients can have on their personal health. As a result, there is a growing demand for clean, non-toxic beauty products.
Brands respond to this demand by creating clean beauty products free from harmful chemicals. From vegan and cruelty-free cosmetics to recyclable and refillable packaging, the focus is on creating beauty products that are safe, ethical, and environmentally friendly. Most importantly, beauty products focus on enhancing personal health.
2. Natural Looks
Don’t be confused by that heading. People are still using makeup, but there has been a shift from the full-on glam look to more of a natural glow look because personal health has become so trendy. It is trendy to take care of your skin and use minimal makeup to highlight skin health.
While moving toward a natural look is a huge trend, according to the Cleveland Clinic, about 15 million cosmetic surgeries are still performed each year. Cosmetic surgery enhances various body parts, including the face. The goal evidently is to look natural, even if it means using surgery to get that natural look.
3. Hair Removal
Smooth baby-soft skin is on trend. Waxing and more permanent hair removal techniques are on trend this year. Laser hair removal is very much on trend this year. It is a more permanent approach to hair removal. According to Cosmopolitan Magazine, preparing for your laser hair removal appointment is essential, and you should shave 24 hours before the appointment.
Getting smooth skin also means focusing on moisturizing your skin and preventive care. Preventive skin care is a big trend that will likely stick around forever. We know so much more today about the benefits of preventive skincare; when you know better, you do better.
4. Curly Girl (Or Guy) Trend
Hair care is focused on making the most of your natural curl and texture this year. The focus is on embracing natural hair and textures. Whether your hair is curly, wavy, or textured, this is your year to shine.
The natural hair trend doesn’t end with curls and textures. Going gray has become a big trend as well. Fewer people are using chemical processing as a nod to the potential risk of using chemicals. More people choose to let their tresses do their own thing, including leaving the color alone.
5. The Eyes Have It
While the trend is to let that natural glow shine through your skin, the eyes are making a statement. Colorful eyeshadows, graphic eyeliner, and bold mascara looks are trending. Artistic, bold, and fun are all good ways to describe this year’s eye makeup trend.
Eye makeup trends this year ensure that there is still a little glam happening. Of course, personal health is still at the forefront of eye-makeup trends. Look for products that are safe and harmful chemical free. There are plenty to choose from.
In the past, beauty trends have been extreme in some cases and a risk to personal health. Luckily, we have moved past the mindset that it can hurt to be beautiful. According to Consumer Affairs, in 2001, over 40,000 personal injury cases were filed because of beauty treatments that had gone wrong. A personal injury can result in both economic and non-economic damage.
