Women who diet before a holiday aim to lose an average of more than half a stone in weight, according to a survey.
As many as 67% of women polled said they went on diets before taking a break, the survey by travel agent www.sunshine.co.uk found.
The average amount they aimed to lose was 8lb, with only 9% of the 1,614 females polled saying they did not take any steps to improve or change their appearance before a break.
The poll, involving women over 21 who had been on holiday in the last two years, found 48% had used a fake tan or a sunbed before going away.
Also, 39% had their hair cut or dyed, 24% went in for waxing and 22% had a manicure.
Those who went in for pre-holiday preparations of this kind spent an average of £162 on treatments, the poll found.
Sunshine.co.uk co-founder Chris Brown said: "I was quite surprised that around two-thirds diet before going away. After all, holidays are all about indulgence and you normally put a bit of weight on during your break anyway.
"With this in mind, it could be argued that the dieting is probably best left until after the holiday.
"Getting bronzed and beautified is obviously a very important part of the pre-holiday process for women to feel confident before they get away, and the fact only 9% said they didn't do anything at all before they went away just goes further to strengthen this point."
