Frugal Vanity

Plastic surgery substitutes provide a more affordable way to enhance appearances

Implications - Though consumers are becoming more frugal, vanity persists—thus, an array of non-surgical (and more affordable) methods of aesthetic enhancement are gaining popularity. These substitutes serve the same purpose as their more extreme predecessors, yet are less intrusive and bear a smaller health risk. As the wallet continues to reign supreme over the mirror, more opportunities for low-cost beauty innovations arise.
Trend Themes
1. Non-surgical Aesthetic Enhancement - Consumers are turning to non-invasive alternatives for beauty and aesthetic enhancement.
2. Functional Health and Beauty Products - Products that serve their primary function while simultaneously benefiting consumers' health or satiating their desire to exercise can be lucrative.
3. DIY Cosmetic Enhancements - Consumers are willing to try at-home, innovative methods to achieve desired cosmetic enhancements.
Industry Implications
1. Beauty and Cosmetics Industry - The beauty industry will benefit from creating affordable, non-invasive alternatives to surgical cosmetic procedures.
2. Health and Wellness Industry - The health and wellness industry can capitalize on developing functional products that also improve appearance.
3. Retail Industry - The retail industry can benefit from new innovations in DIY cosmetic enhancements and related products.
