“Self-care is a holistic process that we all need in order to foster presence, engagement, wellness, and self-love.”

Self-care content has become one of the biggest and most popular trends to emerge in the last few years. From meditation and physical fitness to skin-care routines and makeup tips, creators are sharing the best ways to enhance your mental wellness and live a healthy lifestyle; a trend that continues to pull in viewers and the attention of brands.

Creators and brands are reaping the benefits of creating self-care content: the self-care industry is projected to have an ad value of $13 billion by 2026, and continues to be the fastest growing consumer trend. Nearly nine out of 10 Americans (88% percent approximately) actively practice self-care, and one-third of consumers have increased their self-care behavior during the past year. So, yes, it’s more than just avocado toast and an iced coffee in the morning.

As self-care becomes one of the leading forces in digital content, we’ve curated a list highlighting six of the most recent and most popular self-care trends that creators and brands should consider incorporating into their content strategies. Leverage these trends to reach millions of viewers who are actively looking to improve their health and lifestyle choices with the help of their favorite creators and the products they use. 

#GRWM, “Get Ready With Me”

So many acronyms, so little time. #GRWM, or “Get Ready With Me”, is a trend commonly used on social media as of late. #GRWM allows viewers to get a sneak peek into their favorite creator’s nighttime routine, pre-travel routine, workout routine, and more. The world is your oyster; the #GRWM trends allows you to share your routine, giving you complete control over how you want to document and visualize your process. This trend fits flawlessly with brand partnerships and sponsored content thanks to the power creators hold in their audience’s purchase decisions. #GRWM content is primed for brand integrations since audiences are watching this content with the intent to replicate their favorite influencers’ routines using the same products.

Whether it’s the process of choosing your workday ensemble or a nighttime skin-care regimen, #GRWM videos are both engaging and convenient forms of content that viewers turn to for inspiration.

Daily Vlogs + Self-Care Routines

The daily vlog has transformed over the last few years, moving from the unfiltered and raw approach to highly stylized videos with an emphasis on aesthetics. Creators everywhere are sharing their routines, from the moment they get out of bed in the morning to their nighttime ritual. Some “days in the life” for creators are simple and easy to follow, while other creators live superstar lifestyles—they all share one common element, however, and that’s the emotion and encouragement they elicit through their videos. What they eat, their skin-care routine, workout sessions, how they travel from place to place, activities or hobbies they participate in; all of these things are featured, giving viewers some inspiration on how to make use of their time more effectively and live life more purposefully.

That Girl Self-Care Aesthetic
