Women Look Good For Two Hours A Day

Despite spending 38 minutes getting ready each morning, women only look their best for two hours and 22 minutes a day, suggests a recent study by Imperial Leather Skin Kind.

After spending ten minutes in the shower, 11 minutes styling her hair, eight minutes applying make-up and nine minutes deciding what to wear - perfected hair, lipstick and clothing starts to dishevel just two hours after a woman leaves the house.

“It seems that a stressful commute combined with a couple of killer hours in the office leaves their appearance less than perfect,” says a study spokesperson. ''Consequently, most women struggle to get to the end of the working day looking like they did first thing in the morning.''

The study of 2,000 ladies also found that the average woman applies fresh make-up or restyles her hair just before lunchtime at 11:40am, as it made them feel better about the way they look for the rest of the day.

However, women don't spend all day worrying about their appearance, because by mid-afternoon, the women polled said they quit looking in the mirror and got on with things.

Men, on the other hand, look perfect all day…

What a load of sexist garbage. Consider the source--a maker of lotions/cosmetics? This is only a marketing ploy to make women feel bad about themselves so they'll spend more on this stuff. Pathetic that you'd even print it, HuffPo. Shame on you.

On the other hand if you do like you know you should and don't wear makeup and just put up or tie up your hair, then yoy look great all day.

Ridiculous! I look perfect all day long, lol. No, I'm lying, I'm lucky to look my 'best' 2 hours a week. And you know what? I DON'T CARE! Who am I supposed to impress? I'm not People of Walmart territory, I make sure I'm clean and my top and bottom clothes don't clash. So be it.
