2 Sandra Bullock: removes dark circles under the eyes with hemorrhoids ointment Sandra Bullock In one of her interviews, Sandra Bullock shared with the audience a beauty hack, which she learned from the participants of beauty contests during the filming of the film "Miss Congeniality". To relieve puffiness, make bruises under the eyes less noticeable and refresh the look, you need to apply hemorrhoid ointment to the periorbital zone. Cosmetologist's verdict: include in the beauty plan, but with caution. The composition of ointments for puffiness under the eyes is similar to ointments for hemorrhoids: anti-inflammatory components, pain relievers, hormonal, substances that reduce blood clotting. The only difference is in the concentration of active substances. Of course, there are universal ointments - those that can be used on different parts of the body to achieve the same effect, but the skin around the eyes is very delicate and thin, so read the instructions carefully when using the ointment under the eyes. 3 Jennifer Love Hewitt: Treats inflammation on the face with Jennifer Love Hewitt's toothpaste Favorite beauty secret of the actress in the movie "Ghost Whisperer" has been known to many since adolescence. Jennifer applies regular toothpaste to acne and redness and leaves it on for a few hours or overnight to dry out the inflammation. Cosmetologist's verdict: include in the beauty plan, but with caution Toothpaste really has drying and refreshing properties, it relieves pain due to menthol and relieves redness. That is why it is often taken for herpes sores. But be careful - this unconventional method will not work for people with sensitive skin. I advise you to use toothpaste exclusively as a first aid tool, and to treat skin problems with specially selected products. 4 Sookie Waterhouse: washing her face with sweet soda water Sookie Waterhouse British model and actress Sookie Waterhouse, who has shared her weird beauty hacks more than once, like washing her hair with beer, told the British magazine Tatler that she sometimes washes with sweet soda to make her skin fresh and radiant. Cosmetologist's verdict: replace sweet soda with mineral water The purpose of any wash from the point of view of cosmetology is to cleanse the skin of cosmetics and dirt particles. Sweet soda contains sugar, which means that instead of freshness, you will feel sticky after washing and you are unlikely to be able to apply cream and decorative cosmetics. Citric acid and preservatives in the composition can even cause an allergic reaction and inflammation. Therefore, if you want to wash your face with carbonated water, then it is better to take ordinary mineral water. Photo: instagram.com
