Stat: Self-care routines will outlast the pandemic

Many US citizens plan to continue engaging in the self-care routines they've established during the pandemic.

According to a recent survey conducted by OnePoll for US wellness software company Vagaro, two-thirds (67%) of people agreed that the routines they developed during the pandemic have become a permanent part of their life. Meanwhile, 69% of respondents say they plan to dedicate more time to self-care in 2021 than they did in the previous year.

When considering their preferred future activities, some 55% of young Americans aged 18–23 said they are especially looking forward to visiting a physical spa again. Respondents also noted a strong desire to have a manicure, pedicure or haircut.

As consumers continue to navigate the physical and emotional toll of the pandemic, many are looking forward to returning to self-care locations as part of a shift towards Recuperative Living.
