Beauty trends tend to come and go. One hot trend that is making a comeback in a big way is the trend towards meaningful beauty styles. This is something that was important in the 1970’s. It disappeared for awhile but it’s making a resurgence during the recession as people’s priorities shift.

What is meaningful beauty? This is an approach to beauty that considers both inner beauty and outer beauty. Some features of this way of approaching beauty include:

• Using organic, eco-friendly beauty products. People want to be pretty without damaging the earth around them.
• Taking a preventative approach to the issue of aging. People are staying beautiful longer by protecting their skin, drinking a lot of water and getting enough exercise.
• General recognition of the value of inner beauty. This doesn’t mean that outer beauty is compromised. We all want to look good! We just realize that there’s more to life than style. We want substance along with our style these days. That was true in the 1970’s but it’s something that got lost in the materialism of the 1980’s and 1990’s. It’s nice to see it make a comeback!

Basically people believe in a kind of beauty that honors the whole you while still allowing you to show off the best features of your body.
