The Most Vain Cities in America- mens health magazine
We ranked the top cities where people go to great lengths to look good
The Sunshine State has a long history of going to great lengths to look good. Five hundred years before Botox, that Ponce de Leon guy scoured Florida for a fountain that could rinse off the wrinkles. Today? Tampa tops our list of America's Vainest Cities, and Miami is eighth.
We added up each city's rates for cosmetic procedures (American Society of Plastic Surgeons), Botox users, folks who go for dye jobs, and people who will spend anything to look younger (Experian Marketing Services). We also tallied sales of at-home hair dyes, teeth whiteners, and shapewear (SimplyMap), as well as per-capita rates of cosmetic dentists, plastic surgeons, and tanning salons (American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, AMA, and SimplyMap). Finally, Foursquare told us where people check into those salons most often. (Want to look and feel your best?
