Brits Have Saved £153.68 On Makeup And Perfume Working From Home!
Since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic in March 2020, working from home has gone from being widely frowned upon to becoming the norm; experts* have forecasted that 25 to 30% of the workforce will be working remotely by the end of 2021.
Cosmetic surgery specialists Vera Clinic wanted to ascertain how remote working has had an impact on habits around our appearance.
