Pre Honeymoon Beautification Spending Soars

British women are spending more money getting beach body-ready for their honeymoon, according to research.

Women spend on average £472 on beauty treatments to make sure they look beautiful poolside, Debenhams found.

Spray tans, manicures, pedicures, waxing and eyebrow tinting top the list of pre-holiday pampering appointments in the store's Beauty Halls, as women spare no expense to ensure they look and feel their best.

Sara Stern from Debenhams said: “Looking good on holiday involves a lot more than finding that perfect bikini. Women are willing to pay to look great, and while they are happy to snap up bargain holidays, they simply won’t compromise on the cost of feeling their best.”

Far from being a last-minute rush, women are spending almost 11 hours – the same time it takes to fly to Mexico, to beautify themselves. Preparation starts around three weeks before the trip with haircuts and massages, finishing the day before with waxing and spray tans.

Said Debenhams’ Sara Stern: “The shocking weather we’ve had so far this summer means women want to treat themselves even more as they prepare for their breaks – many of us haven’t even been able to bare our legs this year, so a spray tan is definitely up there on the priority list.

“Our survey results show that even for a one week holiday, women are prepared to invest serious money and time in looking body-beautiful on the beach. Our beauty halls have been jam-packed with women booking holiday beauty appointments. Three weeks of preparation for one week in the sun is obviously worth it to British beauties.”
