Do you know your LADIES?
With rising in-home activities in the past one year, mothers have worked harder for their families and we want to take this opportunity to know what they are looking for.

In the beginning of 2020, the beauty category consumption was severely hit by the cut-down of social activities and wide-spread mask-wearing habits as a result of COVID-19.
In the 2nd half of the year, the skin care consumption started to recover ahead of makeup, which depends more heavily on social occasions. As one of the biggest spenders in the beauty market, Model Moms pay extra attention to and invest to improve their appearance. In fact, their spending on skin care products in 2020 exceeded the average by 60%.
Show them your love
Kantar Worldpanel data indicates that Model Moms prefer e-Commerce and personal care store when shopping for skin care products. Online shopping provides a way to balance their family and career at a greater convenience and help them save time. Personal care store, a channel traditional popular for specialized product shopping, is also chosen more frequently by Model Moms.
In 2020, only one among four moms received skin care products as gift. Not only has this number decreased from the year ago, but falls well below the level of Urban White Collar. Moms have been devoting so much time and effort in taking care of the family, and why don’t you take this opportunity to appreciate their beauty and show them your love with a nice skin care gift.
