Beauty snack: A new trend to help keep skin in good condition even at work

A beauty snack has nothing to do with food, so you don’t have to worry about gaining extra pounds. This is a new trend in the beauty industry that will only develop in the near future. Why is it good for your skin and how to track it? We will tell.


What’s the new trend?

A beauty snack or beauty snack is a short break (10-15 minutes) between work or daily activities that you take for skin care and, as a result, some relaxation.

The trend was born in the era of quarantine – then beauty snacks were a real salvation during the breaks of endless Zoom video conferences. They not only distracted from work at the computer, but also helped to keep the skin in good condition. At work (read: at home) getting a sheet mask, eye patch, or roller massage has become a familiar ritual we’re not ready to give up, even when leaving the office. This is evidenced by the report of trend forecasting company WGSN. Experts expect the beauty snack to gain momentum in 2022.

Such “snacks” are beneficial not only for the skin, but also for general productivity. Small breaks increase productivity, concentration and quality of work. The most effective experts consider 15 minutes of rest every hour.


What foods are suitable for a beauty snack?

Most likely, you already use some tools, but do not give them due attention. Lip balm, hand cream, aroma oil roll, moisturizing spray, eye patches (the latter, of course, more suitable for remote workers) – all these products are ideal for beauty snacks. And the expert will tell you what to choose specifically for you according to your skin type.

During the day, our skin is stressed from exposure to dry air, radiation from tools, and UV radiation, especially during the heating season. Therefore, in order to preserve the freshness of the face, you need to take care of the skin not only in the morning and evening, but also during the day. And since owners of different skin types face different problems, they should be eliminated taking into account these features.

It is beneficial for dry and normal skin to refresh during the day. This can be done with thermal water or a moisturizing spray applied both on clean skin and on top of cosmetics. Having such a tool on your desktop is a must-have for anyone, especially on the eve of summer. The spray refreshes and moisturizes the skin, and when you apply it you will feel like you are walking by a fountain on a hot day.

For all skin types, if the day has turned out to be particularly stressful, it will be useful to make a tissue mask and light self-massage with quartz rollers or rollers with aromatic oils. And for the eye area, cool patches will do, especially if you have a tendency to puffiness.
