Men spend longer than women to get ready to go out
It may come as something of surprise in many households, but it seems that men are spending longer getting ready to go out than women.
Apparently, men spend 83 minutes a day on personal grooming, including cleansing, toning and moisturising, shaving, styling hair and choosing clothes.
In contrast, women have their beauty regime down to a fine art and get hair, clothes and make-up done in just 79 minutes.
While both men and women might find the claims - based on a survey of 3,000 Britons - hard to take, the researchers have come up with another remarkable fact.
They reckon the average man spends just 19p less a month on grooming products than a woman, splashing out £25.22, or £302.64 over the course of a year.
The survey for Superdrug also revealed that in the morning men spend an average of 23 minutes in the shower - a minute longer than women.
Men also take a minute longer on cleansing, toning and moisturising.
One in three men said say they didn't see why they shouldn't take as long as women.
Simon Comins, of Superdrug, said: 'These days, everyone appreciates a man who takes care of his appearance and smells nice.'
