Skin care can sometimes be the last thing on the mind of an Irish girl and a new study has proven that we do not care for our skin as much as our Asian counterparts.
The study, which was conducted by Vichy in China* showed that Asian women take their skin care very seriously and lather on five to eight products per day to keep their skin in tip top shape.
Vichy conducted a survey comparing the skin care routines of Irish women and Asian women
However, the study showed that Irish women* do not invest as much time into their skin, and only incorporate three to five products into their skin care regime every day.
The survey showed that Asian women use a wider range of products than us Irish, including make-up remover, eye creams, face serum, SPF, pore refining and deep cleansing masks and thermal spa water.
Asian women treat themselves to facial massages more than Irish women
A third of Irish women use less than three skin care products everyday while a mere one per cent of women use a minimum of ten.
