Weird Skincare Tips for Girls Who Are Adventurous in Their Beauty Routine ...
By Eliza • Jul 31, 2018 • MD

Have you ever heard anything so outlandish that you were sure it would never work? Me too! Sometimes, though, those strange tips and tricks are actually pretty good ones because they give you the results you want. How to tell which ones are good and which ones aren’t? I guess it’s a matter of trial and error. However, I have gathered together some of the strangest and will share these weird skincare tips here with you.

1. Put Diaper Rash Cream on Pimples

Diaper rash cream is formulated to take away irritation and calm redness, so it goes to follow that it will work on zits. All you have to do is dab a tiny dot of diaper rash cream on the problem area and watch it do its work. This trick is so effective that you might even see the results right before your very eyes.

2. Wash Your Face with Dandruff Shampoo

Dandruff shampoo doesn’t know the difference between the skin on your scalp and the skin on the rest of your body. Experts say that if you have really dry, flaky skin, you can use dandruff shampoo in place of your regular cleanser a couple of times each month to help alleviate the problem.

3. Wear Vaseline under Your Perfume to Make It Last All Day

OK, this isn’t really skincare, but it has to do with your skin so I’m including it. Perfume tends to fade as the day goes by, but you want it last until you hit the sack at night. Smear a small bit of Vaseline on your pulse points before spritzing on your scent and you can get just that. Perfume needs something to adhere to and it will only cling to skin for a certain amount of time. Spraying it on Vaseline gives it something stronger to hold on to.

4. Hemorrhoid Cream is like Magic for Puffy Eyes

You don’t have to tell anyone you do this, but it really works! Hemorrhoid cream is formulated to combat inflammation so it makes sense that it can quell the bags under your eyes. Gently dab a bit of the cream into the puffy area, being careful not to get it into your eyes. Easy, enough, right?

5. Stave off Itching with Toothpaste

Is your skin covered in itchy bug bites? It happens, but you don’t have to suffer. Smear a small dab of toothpaste on the bite and the itch should disappear. You want the regular type of toothpaste, not all the fancy ones on the market today. Try it – you might find out it’s the best secret you’ve ever learned!

6. Tighten the Skin on Your Face with Pepto Bismol

This medicine is for stomach issues, but experts say it makes a fantastic facial mask. The ingredients in the med help tighten and tone the skin on your face, making it look younger and fresher. Simply smear it all over, let it dry, and then rinse well with warm water.

Please leave your email and we’ll get back to you on that.

7. Skip the Expensive Facial Cloths and Use Baby Wipes Instead

They are virtually the same thing, so there’s no reason to spend the money on facial wipes when you can just grab a baby wipe instead. They are way cheaper and do the same job. Most are created for sensitive baby skin so you don’t have to worry about them drying out your face.

Have you ever tried a weird skincare tip that worked? Feel free to share. Which of these tips do you plan to try?

    And it's not impressive that you've gone to school or work in a hospital. I was almost killed by my doctor when I was 18 because he wouldn't listen to me cuz he was arrogant just like you seem to be. Just because a doctor says something doesn't make it automatically true, doctors disagree all the time on subjects. The medical profession has been great for humanity, but it's not perfect, Just look at what they considered to be true 100 years ago. Please get off your high horse cuz it makes me want to gag

    Where are your sources?! Do NOT wash your face with dandruff shampoo! That stuff is SUPER drying and hard on the scalp, waaaay to harsh for delicate face skin. Use face formulated products for dry skin. Also, hemmorid cream every once and a while is fine, but don't do it more than once a month or your under eye will restrict consistently and can cause major eye problems and skin problems.

    I have used baby wipes as a makeup remover for years and it works. I have sensitive skin and have never experienced any kind of reaction at all.

    @sara gynos don't look at the skin. They look inside. They are not trained in skincare. It is not worth any benefits, which are slim, to risk burns (which can be microscopic, if your gyno is taking a microscope to your vagina that's not okay), infection, less protection from the sun, and a higher risk of cancer. We are trying to help. Citrus shouldn't be used on any skin, and any competent dermatologist can tell you that. And your gyno should not be telling you it's okay, because it's not in their area of knowledge with how the skin reacts to things. It's messing up your ph level, which your gyno should be worried about. Honestly I would go to a new one, because that's literally the first thing you learn in school is the various body ph levels and what they need to be maintained at. A lime is at least an 8, which is way to acidic for your 2-5 ph level vagina. You can continue to ruin your body and risk getting cancer, but please don't tell people this is okay, because it's not. I've gone to school for skincare, and work in a hospital. I've seen many burns from lemon and lime juice, just from cutting them, now imagine what it could be with you pouring on it. Please don't spread around false information, this is in no way healthy and plenty scientific facts, research and studies back that up. Nobody except your gyno is saying it's safe.

    I'm not choosing anything for anyone, people choose to do what they want. I think it's hilarious that you're making such a big deal out of lime juice when the majority of people put all kinds of funky stuff on their bodies! Just look at the ingredients in most commercial shampoos, condioners, deodorants, makeup, perfumes, hair styling aids, sunscreen, manicures, pedicures, tattoos, weird piercings, plastic surgery, tanning, bleach, I honestly don't know where to stop. All these things are a health hazard in one way or another but I don't see people stopping anytime soon. Really do a little research into the ingredients of these products. Women can choose to listen to me or not, I really don't care..........

    @kailee you literally just contradicted yourself, you are belittling me for doing the same thing you are. I provided facts, not opinions, because I don't want people looking at this and thinking it's okay when it's really not (this being advice, one of the things the comment section is for, according to your list). But again, thank you for insulting me on doing the exact same thing as you are, which is even worse since I never insulted anyone, but you have insulted me several times in your few comments to me. Have a nice day. :)
