Pink tax = when products and services marketed towards women cost more than men’s comparable products, despite being basically the same / serving the same purpose. So I thought I’d find out for myself if women really do pay more for some everyday products… well, the results speak for themselves 🤯 And this is just a VERY small example of products where women can end up paying more. But pink tax isn’t just about shampoo and razors. Women can also pay more for things like: 💇‍♀️ Hairdressing services 🧴 Skincare & personal care products 💅 Beauty treatments 👚 Clothing and underwear And there’s also a wider cost that’s harder to put a price on. There’s often an expectation that women should look more ‘put together’: hair done, makeup on, nails done, skin looking good, the list goes on. According to Monster’s 2026 Beauty Bias at Work Report, 70% of workers said women face significantly more appearance related pressure at work than men. So when women are expected to meet higher standards around appearance, that can translate into a very real financial cost over time = PINK TAX #pinktax #fyp #financetok #PersonalFinance
