Personal care routines positively impact overall health

3 out of 4 people say that they actively prioritize their health to maintain their appearance—seeing personal care routines as a proactive tool for long-term well-being.

That shift is especially true for Millennials and Gen Z—with many wishing they had started their personal care routines sooner.

Trust shapes influence, but immediacy drives action

In a digital world, consumers still trust healthcare practitioners most for personal care advice. But when convenience matters, many turn to search engines and social media.

For younger audiences, influencers—though less trusted—remain a popular source of inspiration.
