    Wellness Trends We Are Leaving Behind in 2024

    Out with the old, in with the balanced! At Dandy, we’re all about evolving with the times—and that includes saying goodbye to the wellness trends that no longer serve us. From overpriced powders to hustle-heavy fitness routines, we’re calling out the noise of 2024 and making space for more authentic, inclusive, and joy-filled approaches to well-being. Here’s our take on the trends we’re happily leaving behind as we step into a brighter, simpler 2025.

    As we wrap up another whirlwind year in the wellness world, we at Dandy Wellness are reflecting on the trends that dominated 2024—and waving goodbye to the ones that didn’t quite hit the mark. Wellness is all about progress, not perfection, and we’re excited to leave behind the noise to make space for what truly works. Here’s our take on the trends we’re leaving in 2024.

    1. overpriced superfood supplements

    You’ve probably seen the ads—powders and potions promising eternal vitality for the price of a weekend getaway. In 2024, superfood supplements were everywhere, but their results? Let’s just say they didn’t always justify the splurge.

     

    At Dandy, we’re all about simplifying wellness. In 2025, we’re championing real, whole foods and cutting through the marketing fluff. Because sometimes, a good ol’ smoothie made with ingredients you can pronounce is all you need.

    2. extreme detox diets

    Juice cleanses and detox teas had their moment (again) in 2024, but let’s be honest—starving ourselves isn’t exactly a recipe for long-term health. These trends often left people feeling deprived and, frankly, miserable.

     

    We’re here to remind you: your body is already a detoxing pro. In 2025, we’re focusing on balanced eating habits that nourish, energize, and actually make you happy.

    3. toxic positivity

    “Good vibes only” became a mantra in 2024, but here’s the thing: ignoring your real feelings isn’t the same as taking care of your mental health. Toxic positivity made it harder for people to be honest about their struggles.

     

    We’re leaving that mindset behind. In 2025, it’s all about creating space for real emotions, embracing therapy, and having genuine conversations. Because feeling it all is part of the human experience.

    4. hyper-personalized wellness tech

    From DNA testing kits to trackers that monitored your every move, wellness tech hit new levels of obsession in 2024. While some tools are useful, others made wellness feel more like a chore than a joy.

     

    At Dandy, we’re advocates for keeping it simple. Wellness should feel like a breath of fresh air, not another task on your to-do list.

    5. fitness challenges rooted in hustle culture

    Challenges like 75 Hard had us all pushing to the brink in 2024. While the discipline was admirable, the “no days off” mentality glorified exhaustion over enjoyment.

     

    In 2025, we’re promoting intuitive movement. Exercise should feel empowering, restorative, and—dare we say—fun. Rest days included.

    6. one-size-fits-all skincare routines

    The 10-step routine reigned supreme in 2024, but we all know by now that skincare isn’t one-size-fits-all. Chasing “glass skin” left many overwhelmed and over-budget.

     

    Next year, we’re advocating for simplicity. Find what works for your skin, and let the rest go. Your bathroom shelf (and wallet) will thank you.

    7. short-lived “hot girl” wellness trends

    Hot girl walks, hot girl meals—cute, but also a bit exclusionary. In 2024, these trends often focused more on aesthetics than actual well-being.

     

    For us, wellness is for everyone. It’s about feeling good in your own skin, whatever that looks like, and not trying to fit into someone else’s mold.

    8. wellness guru worship

    In 2024, social media was crawling with wellness influencers claiming to have all the answers. Unfortunately, some of them leaned more on pseudoscience than actual expertise.

     

    In 2025, we’re prioritizing science-backed advice and diverse, trusted voices. Wellness doesn’t need a guru—it needs a community.

    9. over-monetization of self-care

    In 2024, self-care became a luxury rather than a necessity, with price tags to match. From £200 candles to extravagant spa days, it felt like self-care was out of reach for many.

     

    We’re bringing self-care back to basics. It’s about what nourishes you—whether that’s journaling, a quiet walk, or just taking a nap—not what empties your bank account.

    10. fear-based wellness marketing

    Ads that preyed on insecurities were everywhere in 2024, from skincare products warning about wrinkles to fitness apps promising “perfection.”

     

    We’re saying goodbye to scare tactics. Wellness should empower, not intimidate. Let’s make 2025 the year of confidence and self-love.

    11. quick-fix wellness trends

    Flat tummy teas, crash diets, and five-minute mindfulness apps dominated 2024. But quick fixes rarely lead to lasting change.

     

    In 2025, we’re all about sustainable habits. Real wellness takes time, and that’s okay—because the journey is worth it.

    12. unregulated “natural” products

    Slapping “natural” on a label was trendy in 2024, but many of these products were unregulated and not as pure as they claimed to be.

     

    Transparency is non-negotiable for us. In 2025, we’re championing clear labeling, real certifications, and products you can trust.

    13. exclusivity in wellness spaces

    Wellness spaces in 2024 sometimes felt more like VIP clubs, leaving many people on the outside looking in. Exclusive studios and members-only events made wellness feel elitist.

     

    Our mission is to make wellness accessible. Affordable classes, online resources, and inclusive communities are the way forward.

    what’s next for wellness in 2025?

    As we leave these trends behind, we’re stepping into a new era of wellness—one that prioritizes authenticity, inclusivity, and simplicity. At Dandy, we’re here to help you find what works for you. No overpriced powders, no hustle culture, just genuine well-being that fits into your real life.

     

    Here’s to a 2025 filled with balance, joy, and a little less noise. Let’s make it a good one, together.
