Mid-Year Wellness Trend Predictions
Can you believe we are halfway through 2021? Where is the time flying?!
Like many of you, one of my favorite things to do every December or January is predict what I think will be trending in the beauty and wellness industry during the coming year. Now that it’s July and we’re halfway through the year, I figured I’d adjust my predictions and share some mid-year wellness trends with the Holistic Umbrella fam:
Fake has fallen! No need for platinum hair, long lashes, and caked-on makeup. Natural beauty is all the rage; you’re beautiful in any form you show up in. Roots are in… people are even paying for them!
Herbs vs Vitamins: Medicinal herbs are coming hot and heavy into the scene. I predict more people will be switching to herbs and throwing out their basic multivitamins due to the myriad natural benefits of herbs and decreased side effects compared to pharm-produced vitamins.
Oil vs Acid: Peels have been in skin fashion for quite some time now and while oil cleaners really hit the scene about 4 years ago, they didn’t get the best rep. Well, let me tell you, your skin cells have natural oils and it takes oil to remove oil! A good clean oil cleaner and night serum do wonders for the hydration of the skin. I would predict oil cleaners will start popping up even in body wash as well.
Energy Medicine: Nothing new to the holistic scene, but will continue to grow in popularity and maybe will start to become an option in the workplace.
Mental Wellness: Billions of dollars have been flooded into the economy, but that doesn’t mean people are happy. Mental wellness still feels like a stigma to many people even though we all battle with it at some point in our lives. The stress of 2020 has hindered people’s mental stability. Counselors are in HIGH demand, drug prescriptions have tripled, and the divorce rate has increased by 34%. Our mental wellness is just as important as our physical wellness, and as we continue to emerge from the craziness of last year people will begin to put mental wellness at the forefront of their overall wellbeing.
