Olivia Bowen encouraging women to prioritise selfcare

Women are being encouraged to prioritise themselves with some self-care all year round, as new research shows that almost a quarter (23%) of women spend less than an hour a week on themselves without distraction.

Despite 80% thinking self-care has a positive impact on their mental health, the figures by Phillips Lumea reveal that women spend less than 1% of their week on themselves. Feeling the pressure to complete life admin tasks (42%), work tasks (28%) or catch up on unread WhatsApp chats (19%) ahead of any self-care.
