The girls shared their personal experiences and stories about how seemingly simple means almost cost them their beauty. And some even needed the help of doctors.
Glue … for the ears
Tatyana, 28 years:
– This terrible story did not happen to me – I would never have dared to do such a thing in my right mind. The younger sister of a friend was very shy of her slightly protruding ears. She was worried in earnest and reacted with hysteria to all the jokes about the size of her ears. There were no financial opportunities for consulting a specialist and, possibly, correction (although, to be honest, the girl had quite normal ears), and the young creature decided to cope on her own. Superglue went into action! Yes, you heard right! She applied a layer of glue, pressed her ears to her head – and … you can even wear a ponytail! The girl was not happy for long. Literally a month later, terrible ulcers appeared on my ears. Well, just imagine sticking live meat! Mom was in shock, and the doctor was in shock, to whom she explained what the essence and the matter, a bursting victim of beauty. Ears were saved, thank God!
Grinding with pumice
Oksana, 33 of the year:
– My mom’s friend does face resurfacing at home. This procedure scares me even in beauty salons. But I will not argue, for sure for some women it is necessary. But that’s what beauty salons are for, and polishing is not a harmless procedure, and the rehabilitation process is not fast. And my mother’s friend does it at home with the help of – and now, attention! – pumice stones for feet. The one with whom we scratch the heels, she scratches her face! It’s horrible. When asked if she is afraid of infections, she just waves her hand off. Like, he has been doing this all his life – and no problems …
Teeth Whitening Baking Soda
Marina, 27 years old:
– Oh, I read all sorts of usefulness and homemade recipes and was so impressed with the recipe for teeth whitening that I decided to try it. I also thought, they say, there is soda in the toothpastes, so it won’t hurt. Damaged how! As my dentist said, due to such an execution, my enamel thinned. And, girls, I can’t even describe to you in all colors how sensitive my teeth have become. All my experiments took place in the winter, and for some time I could not even speak in the cold: pain shot through my teeth. So I had to spend money on treatment.
Hydrogen peroxide for whitening skin
Olga, 31 years old:
– My mother told me terrible stories about beauty procedures of the Soviet period. It is clear that in those days there was a terrible shortage of cosmetics, and the girls were ousted as best they could – the most incredible and at the same time not always useful cartoons were used. For example, a mom and her girlfriends used hydrogen peroxide as a lotion. And if the mother got off with simple peeling, then one of the girls “acquired” age spots. From which, unfortunately, I could not get rid of. She simply burned her skin in pursuit of aristocratic pallor.
Tomato mask
Margarita, 26 years old:
– I still remember this experiment with a shudder. Cursed be he who invented the recipe for this stupid mask. Apply tomato gruel to your face and your skin will glow in 15 minutes. It will not shine, but it will burn! And in the morning you yourself will be like a tomato! Of course, I’m a fool – I wouldn’t think about the fact that because of the strong acidity, ulcers are forbidden to eat tomatoes.
Acne Toothpaste
Olga, 28 years:
– Yes, it was possible to remove pimples with the help of toothpaste, but what to do with age spots, I don’t know … I’ll have to go to a beautician, and it’s even somehow embarrassing to tell that I smeared toothpaste on my face.
Chemical peeling
Elena, 33 of the year:
– Girls, do not skimp on peeling, that is, do not do it yourself at home. All the more chemical. Okay, I understand a light scrub, but peeling is still dangerous. I saw enough of the suffering of a friend who literally burned her face. Now it is being treated.
