Whilst juggling a global pandemic, it turns out that more than\u00a0one in 10\u00a0Australians are working more than 50 hours a week, and Aussie women spend an\u00a0extra five to 14 hours a week\u00a0on unpaid domestic work.<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly,\u00a0stress levels\u00a0are at an all time high, and our\u00a0mental health has deteriorated by 8 percent\u00a0compared to where it was before the pandemic. But according to a new report, women are finding some surprising ways to reduce their stress.<\/p>\n

Whilst some stress is an inevitable part of life, living with prolonged high-level stress is challenging for our minds and bodies to manage.<\/p>\n

New research from\u00a0<\/em>Oz Hair & Beauty<\/em>,<\/em>\u00a0found that nearly half of Australian women have difficulty de-stressing, with the main causes of stress being money (57 percent), physical health (49 percent) and mental health (39 percent).<\/p>\n

How Aussie women are finding relief from stress<\/h2>\n

According to the report, three in four Australian women find balance in their lives through their self-care routine, including skincare and sex.<\/p>\n\n

With exercise, skincare and haircare ranked high in self-care routines, Anthony Nappa at Oz Hair & Beauty explained that: “Australian women use their daily skincare and haircare routines as a moment of mindfulness, and enjoy sexual pleasure to alleviate stress. It\u2019s an incredibly positive trend, where self-care is not just about looking good on the outside, it\u2019s about feeling good on the inside.”<\/p>\n

This shift to a more holistic approach to managing stress was especially seen within younger women.<\/p>\n

Sex and skincare as self-care<\/h2>\n

In the report, 27 percent of women between the ages of 18 and 34 said that their skincare routine was a source of relaxation and stress relief, while a quarter of younger women found sex was a helpful way to de-stress.<\/p>\n
