It seems British women are more concerned with their appearance than their health.

A new study has revealed that women in UK spend more money on their looks than they do on their health.

Good Looks Equate Intelligence?
Researchers at the London School of Economics, led by Satoshi Kanazawa have come to the startling conclusion that good looks could mean greater intelligence.

The findings are based on a survey of 3,000 women aged between 18 and 65 who were quizzed on their spending habits and attitudes when faced with choosing between image or health.

It showed that the typical woman spends an average of 336 pounds a year on hair products, make-up and fake tan in a bid to look young, but just 228 pounds on vitamins and gym membership.

And while three quarters enjoy spending cash on looking their best, just 41 per cent like heading to the shops for health supplements and nutritional food.
