53% of Brits wish they were more confident in their natural skin, survey finds.
A new study, has taken a closer look at Brits’ thoughts and feelings on body confidence.
Out of 2,000 UK adults, the data found that a fifth had seen their self-esteem take a nosedive after being looked down on by a stranger.
As a result of low confidence, more than a quarter of women don’t leave the house without applying some form of make-up, and a fifth wear make-up in a bid to appear more confident to others than they are.
In addition, the study revealed that 53% of Brits wished they were more confident in their natural skin and 43% of female respondents said they put make-up on to feel attractive – suggesting they would not without it.
The research also showed:
- 17% of UK adults have felt down on themselves after comparing themselves to a celebrity.
- 14% don’t feel secure in their own skin because their natural look is different to the image they portray on social media.
- 28% lack confidence because they feel there is a lot of pressure to look a certain way.
- 4 in 10 people agreed that editing photos before posting them is totally normal and that ‘everyone does it’.
