Cookie Mascara

You know that the most attractive part of your face is the eye. It is indeed the source of your facial charm. Putting the right makeup cannot do with a perfect mascara, exhibiting the beauty of your eyelashes.

People would, as usual, opt for either cheap mascaras or crazy, extreme eye makeup tips. You may find somewhere on the net bloggers, advising their followers to use cookies to make their mascara.

As a matter of fact, cookies are made of flavoring agents, triggering allergic reactions. The product particles might even lead to scratching the eye cornea. Maybe it is better to spend a few more dollars on a nice navy blue mascara instead of applying such crazy tips.

Colored Pencils as Eyeliners

Have you ever tried to imitate your mum as a kid and put your eyeliner, using your colored pencils? This is insane, but you must have tried something like this when you were little.

Unfortunately, this crazy and childish idea, that may seem cool, can actually harm severely the mucous part of your eye. The components of colored pencils are highly chemical.

It is weird how people would go and try such things although eyeliners are the cheapest makeup items that you can ever buy. Just try not to fall in for such tips.

Antiperspirant For The Face

It is interesting to note that Antiperspirant proved to be linked to cancer, breast cancer in particular. Imagine its effects if you use it on your face. Your skin secretes through sweating the stored waste in your body.

If you apply Antiperspirant on your skin, you will block the waste from surfacing. The area on which you put Antiperspirant will be dehydrated and dry. The issue might get even worse if your eyes were also affected.

If you use makeup constantly, your skin will become dryer. So why would you use this toxic blocker while you can let the waste come out and clear your body?

Peanut Butter Instead of Shaving foam

You could be deceived by the internet ads, trying to convince you that you can enjoy silky summer legs if you use peanut butter instead of shaving foam.

Many bloggers would write whole articles, claiming that peanut butter with its heavy texture and natural oils can be used as a shaving cream. This isn’t exactly accurate.

According to experts, if it is used as a beauty product, it can have allergenic effects. If you don’t have any of the best shaving foam, use a hair conditioner instead. Besides, even your bathroom pipes’ clog and razor will be spoiled.

Coffee For Artificial Tanning

Using coffee for artificial tanning does not have destructive effects on your health. However, if you are allergic, you will suffer from complications. Even if you think of using an artificial tanning bed, you aren’t quite advised to go for.

The longer you are exposed to ultraviolet radiation or UVR, the more skin cancerous cells you develop. You might take the risk for cosmetic purposes, but is it really worth it?

Coffee may naturally get you the tanned skin you are looking for, yet the problem is that it won’t last long. Your skin color may change for a while, but then back to its original color again.

Baby Cosmetic Products

You could have heard from a friend or read in a beauty magazine that baby cosmetic products are quite useful. But are they really as such? Likely not. The composition of creams, for instance, made for babies is different from that of adults’.

This is due to the fact that adult skin is different from that of a baby, in the sense that the latter does not have any protective layer. But adults have already a protective layer.

If you use a baby cream, your skin will be deprived of oxygen. Instead of using products which do not fit your body needs, find something that fits your age and skin to avoid such complications.

Nail Polish as Eyeliner

This is another crazy tip which would result in serious outcomes. Your eyes are very sensitive to any queer substance, coming in contact with them. The chemical products which are already labeled as dangerous and may result in complications should be kept away.

It is odd how people would fix a black nail polish on their eye as eyeliner while the bottle states clearly: keep distant from your eye. Users of such tips are either illiterate or retardant, which is worse.

Bonus: Effective and Safe Tip

• Strong black tea for curing sunburn

Lying all day long on sandy beaches during summertime is a tradition that only a few people skip. While others would love to have their skin tanned naturally by the sun, however, if you spend long hours in the sun, you will suffer from apparent sunburns.

But black tea can cure them very quickly. The tannic acid it contains can be an excellent substitute of solutions, containing panthenol. Apply tea on your skin on a daily basis, and you will see the burns fading away bit by bit.
