2025 Trend Report: Self-Care, Skincare, and Wellness

As we head into 2025, we’re continuing to see the beauty industry place greater focus on wellness, largely driven by increased consumer demand for holistic self-care. 82% of consumers in the U.S. report wellness is a top priority for them and shoppers want products that don’t just enhance their appearance but their overall wellbeing too. As beauty retailers, spas, and salons plan for 2025, incorporating products related to self-care and wellness will meet consumer demand and drive sales.

The Rise of Wellness in Beauty

Wellness-centered beauty products have been popular for a while now, but their popularity only continues to increase. Jade rollers gained mainstream popularity in the U.S. years ago, and the face mask market continues to grow as well. These items have become essentials for both at-home beauty routines and professional spas as they address not only physical appearance but mental and emotional health. Expect to see this trend continue throughout 2025 as clients look for ways to relax and improve their skin health at the same time.

This past year, we’ve also seen skincare take center stage with brands leveraging technology, innovative ingredients, and personalized skincare to meet consumer demands for both efficacy and customized solutions. Additionally, there is a growing emphasis on sustainability and inclusivity in the beauty industry as part of this shift towards overall wellness. Consumers are drawn to brands that share these values and see this as an extension of the brand prioritizing customers’ wellbeing.

From prioritizing eco-friendly packaging to developing a diverse range of products and services that cater to all skin types and tones, it’s crucial for your brand to meet consumers where they’re at, address their variety of concerns and interests, and promote wellness beyond traditional beauty products.

Bridging the Gap

For spas and beauty retailers, these trends underscore the importance of curating wellness-enhancing products that resonate with consumers. Stress-relieving tools like customizable face masks and massage tools are excellent additions to your inventory that can be used by all shoppers.

As clients ring in the new year–and may grapple with increased anxiety–plan for more requests for wellness treatments and accessories. Consider expanding your services or tools, such as Gua Sha, body brushing, and scalp massaging, which improve skin and hair health while providing a relaxing experience. Promoting the mental and emotional benefits of your services will help clients understand the deeper value they provide beyond improving appearances too.
