A Beauty Snack Fades but Maybe a Beauty Feast Is Forever?

Have a little extra time in between Zoom meetings? Sure, a quick “beauty snack” could be just the skin pick-me-up you need to get through the rest of your day.

But the beauty snacking trend — using micro skin treatments like rapid face masks and lip scrubs to break up the at-home workday — leaves you with short-lived results. Instead, maybe try a beauty feast on for size with these hot, hot, hot cosmetic treatments for 2022.

HydraFacial®

When a quick beauty snack just isn’t enough to get your glow on, treat yourself to an ultra-relaxing HydraFacial. This in-office facial consists of a three-step process that gently cleanses, extracts and hydrates your skin. In fact, HydraFacial is gentle enough to be used on even the most sensitive skin types, and the whole shebang only takes about 30 minutes — so you could still make it to your next Zoom call afterward.

HydraFacials make a great monthly addition to your skincare routine to keep your skin shining on.

And if you’re really feeling like indulging in a little self-skincare, you can add additional treatments to your HydraFacial, like blue light therapy for acne, red light therapy for wrinkles or a chemical peel for ultimate exfoliation.

Broadband Light (BBL) Treatments

No, this kind of BBL isn’t for your booty — it’s for your skin! Think of BBL skin treatments as the gentler cousin of laser skin resurfacing. Whether you’re looking to turn back the clock on lines and wrinkles or kick pimples and acne scars to the curb, there’s a BBL treatment with your name on it.

Unlike with some types of laser skin resurfacing, there’s no downtime after getting a BBL photofacial, so you can wear makeup the same day and head right back to work.

Fillers

Kiss those at-home lip plumpers goodbye and say hello to injectable fillers for that perfect pout. At-home lip plumping products typically contain mild irritants, which cause slight swelling and redness in your lips, giving you that plumped up look. But that sure sounds like a lot to go through to get short-term beauty snack results.

Instead, give lip fillers a try. These remain one of the most popular cosmetic treatments year after year, and there’s no end in sight for this beauty trend. Just please, girls, go to a professional for your filler needs and skip out on sketchy providers with red flags written all over.

Thread Lift

Tired of staring at your tired-looking face in Zoom all day long? A minimally invasive thread lift can rescue wrinkles and sagging skin without surgery. Thread lifts use dissolvable threads with bidirectional cones that provide instant lifting effects, while simultaneously promoting collagen growth in your skin for a lift that keeps on giving. Once the threads dissolve in around 4 to 6 months, your skin naturally takes over and lets the anti-aging effects continue.

Thanks to this double whammy short- and long-term lift, thread lifts can last up to three years before you might need a maintenance treatment. Talk about a beauty feast!
