New research from Philips Lumea shows that 33% of women experience pain as a result of their beauty regime, which adds up to an average of one hour and 26 minutes of pain each month – or just over 1,098 hours over their lifetime!
Unsurprisingly, traditional methods of hair removal such as waxing, tweezing and threading are the biggest culprits for causing major discomfort. But, while 58% of those surveyed admitted they wished treatments were less painful, 76% also felt they didn’t have a choice. And that’s not to mention the quarter of women questioned who said they experienced negative side effects from hair removal, including in grown hairs from shaving (27%) and blistered skin from waxing (13%).
