Some old, some "natural", and some just plain weird beauty tips
Weird Beauty Tips for Skin
Crisco Eye Makeup Remover and Moisturizer
I've
heard of Crisco to remove eye makeup, but I've learned that actress,
Pam Anderson, has an aunt that uses Crisco as a moisturizer for her
face, and her skin is beautiful. This may sound like a weird beauty tip, but her face looked lovely.
Snail Slime for Skin and Hair Care
Here are a few ads you can click on about snail slime products.
Bird Poop Facial
The
next time a bird targets you, thank that little feathered friend for
the gift. Guanine, a substance in bird poop, is believed to be
responsible for the soft and silky skin of the Geisha. I've heard the facemask
does not have an unslightly odor and is available in New York. It may
sound like another weird beauty tip, but women pay anywhere from $50 and
up for this treatment.
Take the Red Out of Pimples
To take the red out of an occasional pimple that pops up at the wrong time, put a few drops of a red eye relief product, (I like to use Visine) on a cotton ball, and then hold this on the pimple for 20 seconds.
Weird Beauty Tips for Hair
Dry Oatmeal Hair Touch-up
To
absorb excess oil in your hair when you don't have the time to wash it,
rub in some dry instant oatmeal, and then comb it out.
Stinky Hair
Add a touch of fragrance to your hair with scented body powder. Dust a small amount in your hair and comb it through. At least this weird beauty tip will leave you smelling pretty.
Makeup Tip
Eyeliner Booster
For darker and longer lasting eyeliner, add a drop of red eye relief product on your cake eyeliner or dry eyeshadow, and then apply as usual.
Weird Itch Relief Tips
Bar Soap for Insect Bites
This
really isn't a weird beauty tip, but it's worth mentioning here. To
relieve the itch from an insect bite quickly, wet your finger in water,
rub it across a bar of soap (I prefer Dial), then apply the soap to the
bug bite. Within a short time the itch will disappear. If
it doesn't, you may not have used enough soap - or you didn't use bar
soap. I've used bar soap for this purpose for many years and prefer it
to anti-itch creams.
My niece was stung by a wasp and when all else failed to relieve the painful itch, we used this tip and within a matter of a few minutes the painful itch was relieved.
Mentholated Ointment for Itching
I once heard if your skin itches, use refrigerated mentholated ointment. It is suppose to reduce the severity of the itch. I've never tried it, but it may work.
Weird Beauty Tips of Ancient Times
Strange Ancient Egyptian Eyeliner
Don't do this!
Egyptian woman were known to use Kohl, a dark powder they made of ochre, ash, malachite, almonds, lead, ore, and other ingredients.
Kohl was painted onto the upper and lower lids, extending well beyond the area of the eye using a small stick.
In addition to Kohl's eyeliner beauty
enhancing capabilities, it was also believed that Kohl had the
potential of reducing eye infections and restoring poor eyesight.
Lead and Chalk Makeup Foundations
Don't do this!
To the ancient Greeks and Romans, a pale complexion was a sign of wealth and privilege. To achieve a very pale
complexion, women painted their faces with chalk or dangerous white
lead. The Greeks and Romans may not have thought that to be a weird
beauty tip of the time, but today, we know it wasn't such a bright idea.
