30 Unhinged Beauty Hacks That Might Actually Work (Even If They Sound Ridiculous)

I wish I could do this...😭

I'm often mistaken to be 20 years younger than I am. I'm married (very happily so), have raised three kids (and breastfed two of them--for the comment that mentioned breastfeeding ages you). But--like I said--I'm happily married to my best friend, and my kids are my favorite people on the planet. Maybe being happy is the key. I've also never really worn makeup and when I have it is just usually mascara. And I sunscreen daily without fail, and have done so from a young age.

A lot of it also comes down to genes. Everyone in my family has good skin, and I don't have an wrinkles at 55 except for one across my forehead.

Nivea as well!

Having a child/children biologically ages women faster. A fetus literally sucks years of life out of a woman. Breastfeeding does the same. There are a lot of variables here though and it had something to do with telomeres. Marriage also shortens a woman's life expectancy. No doubt due to stress and a lot of metawork.

When I was a kid, my peers considered loving fruits and vegetables weird. I will still take a plate of vegetables or fruit over junk food any day.!

Nothing about this is "unhinged"

I would say, have at least 7 hours sleep, but better 8,

Not unhinged. Vitamins are supp to be good for you.

I actually sleep the best on a Japanese-style shikifuton on the ground. It drives my mother absolutely up the wall. She can't stand that I "sleep on the floor" and has tried to make me sleep on the world's most expensive mattresses (Tempur-pedic, etc.) I've tried sleeping on beds and they just don't work for me, especially squodgy memory foam beds. So I think it's not necessarily about a "$2,000 mattress" for everyone, but finding the sleep solution/situation that works for you! XD My shikifuton was $200 XD

I love cucumbers with little salt, chilli powder, and lime

My mom used Oil of Olay for years. She died at 83 & looked about 55.

Oil of Olaz here.

If I sleep on the side of my face, like full on smashed face in the pillow, I'm guaranteed a break out. I sleep two night on one side of the pillow, and then flip for another couple of nights. Then I do the same with the second pillow, and then change the cases.

The last part is a struggle. If a Scots blood/alcohol ratio gets too out of whack we go a little insane, we need the alcohol to thin out the rage.

"Anyone's undiagnosed son", that's a whole wing of psychology. Love that they made a point of this.

I take psyllium husk every night and it does wonders

Or...hold it in your armpit or put it in your bra while you do the rest of your make up to save water

Formula aka bat p*o we love it

I’ll bet their resume is long and choppy.

Must be nice not having to worry about bills. If I did that in my industry, nobody would trust my expertise anymore.

so you live with your parents then?

Seems reasonable, I pause before the mirror and murmur "fabulous"

Not narcissistic. Narcissistic would be saying you're so much prettier than others. But positive self-talk is a healthy thing. And if you can't acknowledge that you're pretty? Just tell yourself that you're not ugly!

same. also books help with dissociation beautifully

A good cry is a must, especially for the soul!!

I am a big believer in vitamins now. After having my baby nothing was “regular” any more. Doctor said I was still ok, but I knew better. When my daughter started taking vitamins ( Flintstones for the win!) she wanted me to have one too. Within 2 weeks everything started to level out and my body got back on track.

You don't need to buy any supplements.

Sounds like a skin cream ad.

I actually use caffeinated soap. Not much of the caffeine gets into your actual body via the skin, so it doesn't hype you up like drinking coffee would, but it makes my skin feel nicer. It's supposed to have antioxidant effects; I don't know if it does or not, but I love the products of the company I buy from, and they smell great, so I'll keep using them XD

Coffee grounds work wonderfully as skin exfoliants and do wonders for hair, too!

This is an excellent way to remove enamel from teeth.

Collagen. Just a build up of grudge

Sadly, Vaseline blocks my pores, but it does make my eyelashes and eyebrows grow in like 70's bushes, I get compliments all the time.

Vaseline doesn’t moisturize. It traps moisture (and whatever else is on your skin) and can make your skin better- until it doesn’t. I will put a little on my face in the dead of winter if I have to be outside in the bitter cold for a while, but putting petroleum oil on my face is a no.

Avoid getting into a toxic relationship. Good relationships sprout longevity

Hyperhidrosis? I have that in the hands and feet, tried everything under the sun except botox, only thing that ever helps is Arrowroot powder.

Mix baking soda& water & comb it through before shampooing it will remove all the old product. you may have to leave it on for a few minutes if you have alot of buid up .We used to do this in Beauty school

Be carful with whitening products. I've had reactions on my gums from them.

And makes you wake up to pee, yay.

God, NO! I feel my hair getting damaged just by reading this. The best hair care is not washing it every day.

I sweat a lot at night so I have to wash my hair more, but I use conditioner and only use shampoo once or twice a week.

Tretinoin is pure poison. It helps with even the most severe cases of acne, yes, but the list of side effects is INSANE (liver damage, kidney damage, depression, even s*****e is listed. You have to be on birth control when you take it and months afterwards, because it will cause severe damage to the fetus. You're not even allowed to donate blood)
