We're all too familiar with snack breaks in the middle of a busy work day. You know, that part of your 24 hours where you hustle for a given amount of time, then mindfully take breaks to make sure your stomach isn't complaining by mid-day. Whether it's a cup of herbal tea, a *gluten-free* cookie, or an energy bar—snack breaks are just something we busy folks can't live without! But have you heard of beauty snacking?

According to trend forecasting company WGSN, beauty snacking is set to be one of the biggest trends in 2022 and beyond. It's actually what you think it is—it's taking quick breaks within the day to do a beauty activity such as applying perfume, a sheet mask, or even painting your nails—something quick and fun—to break the monotony of the day (especially for those who work from home).
