Women Hide Beauty Secrets From Partner

The average woman has eight beauty secrets she hides from her partner, it has been revealed.

The findings emerged from a study of 2,000 women which highlights how many spend hours taking hidden measures to look naturally beautiful every day.

Researchers for feelunique, who commissioned the study, found that women hate the thought of their other half knowing they have to pluck, wax and shave their bodies – and as such, prefer to keep hair removal from toes, chin, body and bikini line a deeply hidden secret. In addition, removing hard skin from feet and maintaining a hairless upper lip by eradicating any sign of a moustache are also kept private. A large majority of the women polled also confessed they would not reveal to their partner if they were wearing body slimming underwear.

The study shows many ladies would hate their partner to know they had to remove hairs from their noses on occasion, while others don't want him to know they often treat spots with toothpaste, or whiten their teeth. Some claimed their other half has no idea they wear chicken fillets in their bra on a night out, or have to exfoliate daily, while those who like to maintain a younger appearance don't mention their anti-ageing moisturisers or anti-cellulite creams.

Having eyelashes and eyebrows tinted, cleansing and toning and the application of face packs are other beauty essentials the average man has no clue their partner bothers with.

In fact, two thirds of the women polled reckon their partner is 'blissfully unaware' of what is involved in their beauty routine - with a third keeping it all a closely guarded secret. A further third admitted their partner would be 'mortified' if he knew the full extent of the beauty treatments.

For a secretive fifth, they also revealed it doesn't matter how comfortable they are with a partner – they will never let him know how much effort goes into looking good.

Siobhan McDermott, General Manager for feelunique, said: "This study shows just how private women are about their beauty regime – no one wants their partner to think they aren't naturally beautiful with wonderful smooth skin.

"As such, women go to great lengths to hide certain aspects of their beauty regime from their partner, conducting a multitude of preening tasks behind closed doors.

"When ladies get more comfortable with a partner they might let a few of their secrets slip, but two thirds simply feel they are being more lady-like by tending to themselves in private."
