The phrase "I'll do it for myself" is probably not always true when it comes to beauty. According to a survey, there are two beauty products in particular that are currently not in use.
The lockdown not only upsets our eating habits, but in many cases also our daily grooming ritual. Although it is advisable to get ready for the home office too, in order to let at least a touch of work flair move into your own four walls, the reality is often different. We thought that many would spend more time on hair treatments, face masks, body scrubs and baths during the lockdown. However, according to a survey by Marketagent, mini wellness applications have also declined. In the first lockdown, the decline was even 18 percent, as the survey of 500 people showed. In times of home office and homeschooling, there is simply too little time for the Beauty Day, said platform spokesman Stefan Kukacka to the APA.
Less deodorant, more beards
Above all, however, the use of deodorants and perfumes has decreased. A full 15.6 percent used a deodorant less often in the spring lockdown. Now it was only 5.6 percent, although this indicates individual occupational areas that have either spent fewer days in the home office in the past few weeks or, in contrast to spring, were able to work at their regular workplace. One thing is certain: Less contact with others leads to less use of deodorants or fragrances. Around 10 percent said they used less make-up during the lockdown. In the spring it was even a quarter less who resorted to mascara, foundation and the like. The sentence "I'll do it for myself" then gets a completely different meaning.
And less attention is paid to the hair, too. According to the survey, the use of styling products has decreased, while the number of beards has increased. Around one in ten men have been bearded since the first lockdown. By the way, before the coronavirus crisis, the monthly expenses for cosmetic products averaged EUR 31.20, now EUR 28.90 per capita.
