The average woman will spend more of her life wearing make-up than not, according to a new report yesterday.<\/p>\n
In a typical day, women will have a face full of cosmetics for nearly 13 hours a day and will have just 11 hours free from it<\/p>\n
Researchers surveyed a total of 2,000 women in a detailed study about women\u2019s make-up habits and beauty routines.<\/p>\n
The poll by health and wellbeing brand Beurer found the typical woman puts on her \u2018face\u2019 at precisely 8am and spends 11 minutes applying it.<\/p>\n
But it is not until 8.47pm that the average woman then removes her make-up. A quarter of women said they don\u2019t remove their face until gone 10.30pm.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s hardly surprising then that 58 per cent of those polled said they make a point of leaving their make-up on all evening if they know guests might be popping in.<\/p>\n
And half of the women polled said they spend more time with their make-up on rather than a fresh faced look.<\/p>\n
Robert Slade, Sales & Marketing Director of Beurer UK said: ‘This research shows that many women spend a large part of their time with make-up on.<\/p>\n
‘It can no doubt boost your confidence and make you feel better about yourself so it\u2019s not surprising that many women insist on keeping it on all day. Despite that it is important to give your skin a break from time to time and to give it the care it needs.’<\/p>\n
Nearly one in five women said they would refuse to open the front door if they didn\u2019t have a face full of make-up and 10 per cent said the more make-up they have on the better they feel. In fact 38 per cent are so reluctant to take it off they admitted to frequently going to bed with all their make-up intact.<\/p>\n
