Mr Potato Head toys have been around since 1952, back when families had to supply their own actual potato to play with it, adding plastic hands, feet, eyes and other accessories to the spud. Then came Mrs Potato Head, who had feminised plastic pieces in the kit, such as handbags and high heels as well as Mr Potato Head family sets.

Women will spend half an hour a week on skin care for their face, but less than five minutes on the rest of their body. Research of 2,000 women revealed 76 per cent place the most importance on looking after their face. Almost a fifth (17 per cent) spend more than 30 minutes a week on facial skin care, but just under five minutes on their legs (41 per cent) and arms (45 per cent). More than a quarter (28 per cent) also spend at least £20 a month on beauty products for their face, compared with just seven per cent spending the same amount on skin care for their legs. Dr Ewoma Ukeleghe, cosmetic and medical doctor and ambassador for Venus, which commissioned the research, said: "I see first-hand just how often people disregard the skin on their bodies and routinely forget to nourish their skin from the chin downwards.

Have your say in the comments section "While most of us will think nothing of spending most of our time and money on our facial skin; our … [Read more...] about Women spend half an hour a week on skin care for face but 5 minutes on rest of body
