Popular Health And Beauty Trends To Follow Right Now

Personal wellness and self-care have gained more traction over recent years as overall trends in health and beauty continue to expand. Many people are actively practising self-care and wellness treatments such as facials, skincare and exfoliation for the feel-good power and pampered feeling they bring. While these treatments can be carried out at home, it’s the expert hands that make all the difference. Sometimes you need some quality time with a professional masseuse, nail artist, or laser eye surgery specialist. Keep reading to learn some of the popular health and beauty trends in 2022 you can have done professionally.

Prioritising relaxation and wellbeing with spa treatments

Spa treatments have been around for a while, but in recent years, they have advanced to include more targeted, tailored and intensive health and beauty treatments that address various conditions, demographics and issues. Today’s spa treatments combine holistic approaches to health and wellness with a luxury pampering experience to meet the needs of the consumer. Some of the new and exciting health and beauty spa treatments you can have include:

• Facials: They include exfoliation, masks, peels, steam and massages
• Massages: They include aromatherapy, hot stone, deep tissue and reflexology
• Medical saps: They perform non-invasive beauty treatments such as Botox and fillers
• Body masks: They include mud, algae and seaweed

Spa breaks are also quite popular now, allowing customers to completely immerse in a luxurious and relaxing spa environment. During a spa break, you get a chance to escape the outside world and relax and unwind in calm surroundings. You’ll receive several beauty and wellness treatments throughout your stay, delicious meals and a comfortable bed to sink in, ensuring you can destress and recharge.

Looking after your health and beauty with eye treatments

People have forgotten eye care in the past, but today, it has become essential in reducing eye puffiness, eliminating eye bags, correcting vision, and minimising the appearance of crow’s feet. For many people, it’s all too easy now to do your own DIY facial treatments at home with store-bought health and beauty products. There are gel eye patches, eye masks, eye cream, and even cooling face masks you can put in the fridge to keep cold. Sometimes social media influence from trending influencers can persuade audiences to get on board with the latest beauty products.

As well as home eye treatments, many people who wear glasses and contact lenses are now looking for new ways to correct their vision. LASIK surgery is a vision correction treatment provided by many laser eye specialists for those who want to live a life without glasses or contact lenses. Even singer-songwriter and drag artist Ginny Lemon teamed up with the leading specialists at Optimax for laser eye surgery.

Jumping on the latest online trends for beauty treatments

Beauty treatments help you look and feel your best while improving your physical and mental well-being. These treatments are normally tailored to suit your needs and formulated to give your body and mind a little extra TLC. There are many health and beauty treatments which might have been around a long time but have only just started to become really popular after going viral online. On TikTok and Instagram, many beauty consultants are showing their lash lifts and brow laminations on clients, or showing off their latest nail artwork. There’s an endless list of latest beauty trends right now, but the most popular include:

Lash lifts and tints

Lash lifts and tints are quickly replacing mascara, allowing consumers to wake up with lashes that look freshly done every morning. This beauty treatment alters the shape and colour of your natural lashes for a more cosmetically pleasing appearance. When done professionally, you get lashes that are thicker, darker and longer, bringing your own lashes to their full potential.

Gel manicures

Gel manicures are nail treatments that give you long-lasting and well-manicured polishes. This beauty treatment improves the overall appearance of your nails while protecting them from harsh environmental chemicals and pollutants. The beauty of gel manicures is that you can choose from various colours, shapes and sizes to suit your style and personality.

Brow lamination

Brow lamination is a hot new health and beauty treatment that involves straightening and lifting your eyebrow hairs to enhance their appearance. It’s often paired with a brow tint for a bolder enhanced look. Brow lamination aims to give your fuller-looking brows, eliminating the need to constantly use eyebrow make-up products.

Veneers

Veneers are a dental beauty treatment that works to improve your smile. They are a quick and effective solution for getting rid of stained, misshapen, chipped and crooked teeth. Dental veneers only cover the tooth’s front surface and are tailored to create a natural-looking smile.

Get pampered at Banyan Tree KL’s wellness retreat

You don’t need me to remind you that our modern life is often hyper-stimulated and the speed of life is only accelerating every day. More often than not, our nervous systems cannot truly relax and hence, causes chronic stress and anxiety.

So, here’s a gentle reminder: it’s important to take time off to rediscover our inner-self and find peace within.

Known for its wellbeing retreats around the world, Banyan Tree Kuala Lumpur’s Urban Wellness Sanctuary experience wants to inspire you to travel inwards and become more conscious of your daily actions, thoughts, and emotions amidst the hustle and bustle of a city.

For those who are wellbeing-curious, the Urban Wellbeing Sanctuary concept enables you to design and combine a leisure vacation with well-being elements in a flexible, and open way through a simple and structured, codified approach of 8 pillars: Sleep and Rest, Dietary Awareness, Bonding and Connection, Physical Vitality, Cultivate the Mind, Learning and Development, Harmony with Nature, and Sustained Practices.

You get to personalise your stay here with simple but impactful wellness activities throughout their stay such as: learning how to sleep better, breathing exercise, spinal stretch, couple’s cardio, core pilates by the pool and meditations — all guided by professionals. As with most modern dwellers, I have problems sleeping. A short consultation with the wellness practitioner later, I was advised to opt for the “sleep better” activity where I’d learn some simple breathing exercises and a number of ways to help me sleep better at a workshop.

Needless to say, I had a soundless sleep that night. Of course, the super comfy bed at the Signature Wellbeing Retreat room definitely helped too. In fact, the suite is specially designed for sleep enhancement, where there are nightly rest rituals provided like herbal face steam, cleansing scrub and is equipped with mindful tools like sound bowl and aromatherapy diffuser. Staying true to the wellness ethos, the standard mini bar is also replaced with healthier options like juice and protein snacks.

The Banyan Tree Wellness Sanctuary experience doesn’t just end after you check out from the hotel. Expect to head home with a wealth of knowledge and an exclusive care package that includes a guide on healthy living, home exercise and other recommended practices to try at home for sustained practise for your daily life.

Body, Mind And Spirit: A retreat at Thann Wellness Destination, Bangkok

An hour and 20-minute drive north from Bangkok to the tree-shaded rural district of Bang Sai leads you to a luxurious resort and wellness retreat spanning across 10 acres of lush landscape, which boasts architectural design with discreet influences from ancient Ayutthaya elements.

Situated in Thailand’s old capital, Ayutthaya, Thann Wellness Destination offers a complete wellness experience and artistic lifestyle for a healthy body, mind and spirit.

The resort has 46 spacious guest accommodations ranging from suites to pool villas set in a tranquil location on the banks of the Noi River, amid the lush rice fields.

A nod to the rich history of the district, the rooms carry discreet Ayutthaya influences in the form of artworks, statutes and motifs emblazoned on the walls. In addition, Thann botanical-based skincare and aromatherapy products can be found in all the rooms while the complimentary minibar is stocked with healthy drinks such as fruit juices and fruit-infused water, in glass bottles to promote sustainability.

As its name suggests, promoting healthy lives and well-being is the main focus at Thann Wellness Destination. The 1,500 sqm spa complex has 15 treatment rooms with two double aroma rooms, nine single aroma rooms, two double Thao massage rooms and two single Thai massage rooms, aromatherapy baths, an aromatherapy steam room, three all-purpose studios and a fitness centre.

Here, the treatments are performed by certified professionals and therapists with extensive knowledge on anatomy, aromatherapy and massage techniques. The three different temperature (25 ̊C, 30 ̊C and 39 ̊C) aromatherapy baths help stimulate lymphatic, soothe tired muscles and improve blood circulations. The wellness activities at the centre range from yoga sessions to aromatherapy workshops and Muay Thai classes.

Dining at Thann Wellness Destination is lavish and sophisticated. Guests can choose from the three dining concepts: a river restaurant, a modern-oriental café and a casual street food eatery – with each of them offering a different, nutritious menu with carefully curated natural flavours.

Many of the ingredients are sourced from local community markets as well as the resort’s residue-free farm and garden – especially the fruits, vegetables, river prawn and fishes, and free-range eggs and chicken.

Besides the distinctive menus, the ambience of each concept is equally idiosyncratic. Enjoy a multi-course meal that is meticulously prepared to deliver the best Thai culinary experience in an opulent setting at the Riverfront Restaurant, or mind-blowing international dishes where an Asian antique collection of tableware and cooking utensil is displayed at the Tea Room.

Or walk through the Thai Street Foods – a food hall that offers a vast array of Thai street foods and snacks such as pounded papaya, grilled meat skewers with sticky rice and Thai noodles, just to name a few.

With a minimum of two-night stay, Thann Wellness Destination promises a peaceful, restful and rejuvenating experience for burnt-out travellers yearning to get away from the madding crowd. “Here at Thann Wellness Destination, we want to create the most Zen experience and stress-free lifestyle for our visitors.

Guests do not have to worry about what to wear, eat or activities to enjoy at the resort because everything is well-prepared for them by the team,” said Tony Suppattranont, founder of Thann Wellness Destination.
