Women never change. They check their appearance in the mirror eight times a day — using shop windows, car wing mirrors and even other people’s sunglasses, says a new study.

In the study, based on a survey in Britain, one in 10 woman have admitted that they cannot walk past a car without bending to check their hair and make-up.

And, one in three women believe they look their best in their own bathroom mirror while one in 20 said they looked their worst in the mirror in the loo at work, according to the poll of 2,000 women by ‘Simple’ skincare.

What’s more interesting is that four in 10 even have favourite mirrors they feel they look better in than others, the ‘Daily Express’ reported. Dr Christine Bundy of Manchester University said: “Many women have busy lives where they are on the go and want to look their best.

“So giving themselves a glimpse when they get the chance is natural. It’s important to check your appearance to boost confidence.”
