Believe if you want! A British cosmetics company has conducted a study to find out which day of the week women look their worst. Not only did they find out that it's on Wednesday, but that the mirror should be avoided at exactly three thirty in the afternoon! The most interesting? The study was based on serious scientific data.

According to the Jezebel website, the researchers - from St. Tropez - found that 46% of women use alcohol on weekends, and 37% of them have their worst night's sleep on Monday. In addition, the researchers also found that women often get more stressed at work on Wednesdays.

So all of these factors together - which seemingly turn into a tremendous black cloud - eventually culminate on Wednesday at 3:30 pm. Now follows the scientific explanation:

  • The visible effects of alcohol may take up to 72 hours to appear, meaning that weekend abuse may still surface on Wednesday. Also, the body needs to work hard to get rid of the toxins consumed through alcohol and sugars;
  • A sleepless night's sleep - Monday - can take up to 48 hours to show its effects on the skin, which is why on Wednesday some women have older looking skin;
  • Apparently, Wednesdays are usually the days with the most stress at work, and by mid-afternoon - around 3:30 pm - the lady is crazy. This aspect, combined with the previous two points, is what makes women present their worst form of the week.

But ... no panic! According to the researchers, after past the dark mirror hours, things are starting to get better quickly and it's amazing how on Thursday stress levels dissipate and they feel sexier. Incidentally, the study also revealed that this is the day of the week most women have sex, and this may explain the good mood and overall improvement in appearance that women have on Fridays.
