Bad Habit Targets Stressed-Out Gen Z & Millennial Skin

Bad Habit describes itself as a hybrid skin-care-wellness brand for Gen Z and young Millennials and it shares products that specifically target stressed-out skin. The brand's clean and vegan products fall under categories like Daily Skincare Essentials for morning and evening use, and targeted Quick Fix Treatments that are meant to help with everything from dehydration to a lack of sleep.

With its products and messaging, Bad Habit is on a mission to remind consumers that "you don't have to be good all the time to have good skin all the time." As the brand sees it, the tech-filled lifestyles of its target demographic create not only mental and emotional stress but also stressed-out skin.
