Shaving legs is women's least favourite beauty chore - shame they spend TWO MONTHS of their lives doing it
This chilly spring weather may be too
cold to let us bare our legs for now. But it is only a matter of time
before the summer days tempts us out of our tights - and force us to
start defuzzing regularly once again.
And it is not a prospect many of us relish, by all accounts. According to a new beauty poll, leg shaving comes top of a long list of most hated beauty chores, as 35 per cent of women say they despise depilation more than anything else in their beauty routine.
But for something we loathe, we sure spend a lot of time doing it. The stuy revealed that during a lifetime British women spend 59 days - almost two months - carrying out this most hated task.
The vast majority of women surveyed felt it
was necessary to take off their leg hairs and on average women would
spend four minutes, six times a week on the ritual - adding up to 21 hours every year.
The second most detested beauty chore is hairstyling, the study found. Seventeen per cent said they hated having to do it but admitted spending 16 minutes every day teasing their locks into place which amounts to almost a year during their lifetime (294 days).
