A new survey conducted by FOREO, the wellness and beauty tech brand from Sweden, reveals that we are in a confidence crisis - with a ‘compare and despair’ culture rife, particularly among women.
The study of over 2,000 respondents was carried out for FOREO’s Boost Your Glow campaign to celebrate the launch of the latest skincare gadget, the LUNA Mini 3, which promises to give you glowing skin is as little as 30 seconds. The brand quizzed the nation on their social media habits to discover the impact it has on our lives, and is now calling out for women to champion themselves and others in a bid to glow with confidence both inside and out. Key insights of the survey revealed:
Working with the world’s first and only ‘comparison coach’, Lucy Sheridan, FOREO is campaigning for women to champion not only other women, but themselves too. Lucy has helped thousands of people through her private practice and workshops to ditch the ‘compare and despair’ mentality and go #comparisonfree, breaking the cycle of looking at others in order to build a happier and healthier relationship with themselves and with social media. For too long now, women have felt uncomfortable accepting a compliment or singing their own praise. It’s time for women everywhere to not only prioritise self care, but self love.
Commenting on FOREO’s survey and campaign, Lucy says: “I think it’s important as it shows a deeper understanding of what people experience on the day to day and demonstrates care for consumers beyond the surface appearance. It shows an acknowledgement that what is happening on the inside will have an effect on what shows on the outside.”
So how do we boost our confidence both inside and out? “Confidence is an inner power that is unique to each of us as individuals and like any muscle, the more we work it the stronger it gets,” says Lucy.
