Aged skin, youthful patrons, and the promotion of longevity
In the ever-evolving world of beauty and skincare, a new trend is emerging - the "Back to Fun" movement. This trend signifies a shift towards a more playful, positive approach to makeup, moving away from serious or overly meticulous beauty routines.
Younger generations, particularly Generation Z and younger millennials, are driving this change. They are increasingly cautious about the potential harshness or unnatural effects of some traditional anti-aging and skincare products. Instead of obsessing over eliminating every imperfection or preventing aging at all costs, they prefer approaches that promote skin health in a gentler, more natural way combined with fun, light-hearted makeup looks.
This reflects a broader movement among these younger demographics towards embracing natural beauty, skin positivity, and less invasive skincare that supports overall skin wellness rather than just anti-aging.
The anti-aging product industry is witnessing a shift as well. Consumers in their 20s are now focusing on sustainable aging products to prevent future health issues and age signs. The beauty industry, in response, is adapting to these new sensibilities, focusing on the demands of younger generations and offering effective treatments for preventing age signs such as oxidized skin.
One such product is EyeEffective, a combination of white flower essences, which has shown promising results in in vivo and in vitro tests. It generates a 75% reduction in oxidized skin, an increase in collagen synthesis, a lifting effect on the eyelids, and an improvement in blood circulation, reducing dark circles in just 14 days.
The beauty industry has traditionally targeted anti-aging messages to audiences over 40, but there is potential in the market for adults aged 25-35 who are interested in anti-aging products. In fact, according to a survey, 30% of women under 35 use anti-aging products, and one in five women under 24 do as well.
The skincare industry is also moving towards a more holistic approach, encompassing well-being, nutrition, and beauty routines, in response to consumer demand for natural and healthy products. This shift represents a 5% growth in the market for natural products, according to a Grand View study.
Multichannel marketing campaigns that highlight the benefits of preventing skin oxidation and signs of aging from a young age can effectively reach younger generations online. Brands must transform their communication and marketing strategies to reach younger generations with a message about healthy aging, as both millennials and Generation X are active online.
Interestingly, the "Back to fun" trend is not limited to women. Other surveys suggest that 22% of young men in the UK are spending more time on their grooming routines. Flower and plant extracts, such as white willow and Arabian jasmine, are becoming the driving force behind both large and small brands due to their traditional medicinal knowledge.
In conclusion, the beauty industry is evolving to meet the needs and preferences of younger generations. The focus is shifting towards a more holistic approach, natural ingredients, and a playful, positive approach to makeup. This change represents an exciting opportunity for both consumers and brands alike.
