Women Pay More for Personal Care Products
According to the Government Accountability Office, women pay much more than men for most personal care products such as deodorant, shower gel, shampoo, perfume or body sprays. Grooming is more important to women compared to most men and that’s what beauty companies rely on and take advantage of. Most products marketed for the female population are almost double the price of men’s products, though razors and shaving gel for men cost more.
Women’s products such as facial moisturizers are also more expensive than those for men, according to the latest study by Massachusetts General Hospital. The lesson to be learned here: Ladies, next time you’re shopping for personal care items, try the men’s aisle as well, especially if you’re not interested in scented products).
