Women’s bizarre beauty secrets
RUBBING COFFEE on your thighs to combat cellulite or strawberries on your face to get rid of freckles are among the weird beauty secrets revealed yesterday.
Other tricks include rinsing your hair with raw eggs or beer to make it shiny and dabbing toothpaste on spots and insect bites to help them heal.
One in 10 women questioned in a survey said she would try anything if it made her look better.
This included sleeping in socks filled with moisturiser or brushing talcum powder through her hair.
A spokeswoman for skincare experts Simple, which commissioned the research, said: “This bizarre list of beauty tips and tricks just shows the lengths to which some women will go to look beautiful.”
More conventional ways to stay looking youthful include drinking plenty of water, milk and cranberry juice, brushing your teeth with baking soda to whiten them and placing slices of cucumber on your eyes to freshen them up, the survey found.
