Top 10 Strangest Beauty Tips that actually work!

Ok, here we go people. Mind you, I would not ever use these on my clients in the salon!!! I at one time have either tried or heard of these tips actually working!

 10. Banana Peel - to whiten your smile. Procedure: Peel banana, use inside of the peel in a circular motion until teeth look clean. Ok, this one is horribly bitter but it works in a pinch. Say if you need to shine your pearly whites before you get to say a date or job interview and you had eaten a banana on the way. other health benefits include: Weight loss if eaten once a day. Depression Reduction due to high levels of tryptophan, which is converted into serotonin the happy-mood neurotransmitter. Lower Blood Pressure because they are High in potassium and low in salt and are officially recognized by the FDA!

9.Monistat Anti-Chafing Cream - instead of the expensive Primers you see in Dept. stores. Procedure: apply a thin layer on skin under makeup. And no i am not talking about monistat for the infections! Its a clear silky gel to stop your thighs from chafing! This is a picture I took of purple eye shadow or pigment applied to my hand. On the left it was applied on top of a thin layer of the anti-chafing cream. The right obviously applied without. I see a big difference! you can also use a generic of this brand if you can find one. It really does work and only costs about $6.00 compared to many other Primers that can go up to $50.00+. Hands down a great substitute for the Broke-Beauty. 

8. Aspirin - for sure is an inexpensive way to get soft, supple, and even-toned skin.Procedure: Uncoated, dissolvable tablets must be used for the mask. Add a bit of honey or essential oil to the mixture to soothe. You should only do this once or twice a week. Aspirin contains Beta Hydroxy Acids, are found in many high-end skincare products, and work to exfoliate, remove dead skin cells, and heal blemishes.

7. Eye Drops - to remove redness from Pimples! Procedure: drip the eye drops onto a cotton swab or tissue (visine especially) and you can also put a frozen spoon on them as well. Once its completely dry, use a bit of green concealer.

 

  
6. Fabric Softener Dryer Sheets - Static Hair can become a thing of the past by using these little babies! Procedure: Rub through your hair to tame frizz. These sheets can also save you from mosquito born diseases. just keep them in your pocket or even in your Bra when outside! I also stick them in my clothing and underwear draw for that wonderful just laundered smell all the time. It seems to help with pet odors as well I also stash them around the house!!

5. Milk of Magnesia - Oily skin remedy! This laxative liquid can be used as a mattifier. Procedure: apply with a cotton ball all over the face and can be mixed in with moisturizer right before makeup application. Tip: A few drops will go a long way with this product. If you use too much at once, the liquid can leave a dry, whitish residue on the skin. Also, be sure to use the original formula.

4. Beer - Shinier healthier hair! Procedure: Pour onto your hair let it soak under a cap for 10 mins and rinse in cool water. The alcohol removes any buildup that sits on the surface of the hair. I would try a pleasant smelling berry or peach beer. It also gets cat urine smell out of hair. Don't even ask why and how I know that LOL!

3. Coffee grinds with olive oil - Help heal and lessen appearance of stretch marks. Procedure: apply some coffee grinds mixed with olive oil and massage for about 5 minutes. Coffee grinds will exfoliate and stimulate your skin and olive oil will moisturize and soften. Do this about 3 times a week.

2. Preparation H - Great on both ends! De-puffs the eyes. Procedure: Apply the cream under your eyes with your pinky only (that goes for any eye cream or primer as well!) Do not use the oily Prep H it seems to have the opposite effect. Raw potato slices and green tea bags also work for this beauty woe.

1. Bird Poop facial - This is self explanatory but by far the strangest beauty secret I have ever heard of and NO I will not try this. Geisha girls used this for thousands of years to remove there makeup and Apparently its a $180.00 service in top or high-end SPA's in NY?!!
