Nothing uplifts your spirits quite like a snack, right? Well, beauty snacking is the same principle, but instead of reaching for your bag of chips, use a hand cream instead. Or a facial mist. Either way, it needs to be something that uplifts your mood or promotes instant self-care during your work day.
Beauty-snacking products range from hair mists to facial mists, hand creams, lip oils, lip masks, tools such as Gua Shas and facial rollers that promote circulation, essential oils that calm the mind, diffusers that help you breathe better, health supplements such as collagen, and even sunscreen, which is an everyday necessity.
We love any excuse for a pamper so we suggest hopping on the beauty-snacking train sooner rather than later. Just tell your boss that beauty snacking means better work productivity (in case they ask).
We love...
