Social isolation trends: DIY beauty and fashion
In this episode, Mintel experts from the retail, beauty, personal care, and lifestyle sectors discuss some of the trends taking shape while consumers follow stay-at-home mandates. More time at home often means more time for the things consumers have been putting off, whether that's learning a new skill or developing a more personalised skincare regime. What at-home activities are keeping consumers sane during the COVID-19 crisis? How are they prioritising their well-being? What trends will linger post-pandemic? Listen now to find out what trends are shaping consumer behaviour today and what that means for brands moving forward.
