Top 10 most visited cities in the world
The study carried out by GfK interviewed 27,000 people in 22 countries to find out which countries in the world spend the most time on personal grooming.
Here are the 10 vainest countries in the world:
1) Italy
The results found Italian women on top of the list, along with American and French women, spending an average of 6.2 hours a week on how they look. However, since Italian men also spent the most time on themselves -- up to 5.0 hours a week, Italy’s score of 5.6 is the highest. Italy was also the country with the least time disparity between genders.
2) Argentina
On second place is Argentina with its women spending 5.9 hours per week on personal grooming, while men are reported to spend 4.6 hours.
3) United States
The United States was pushed to the third spot, despite its high score for women because of its men who tend to spend just 4.3 hours per week on themselves.
These are the world’s best countries
4) France
France has the same score for men and women as the United States, but its total of 5.2 lands it on the fourth spot.
5) Czech Republic
The fifth spot on the list is taken by Czech Republic with a total score of 5.1 that includes men spending 1.5 hours less than Czech women’s score of 5.8.
