All throughout our lives, we are constantly bombarded with tips and dished advice, some being logical and some weird. Women, especially teenaged girls going through puberty phase are told what to do and what not to do to stay beautiful, fight with beauty problems and stay fit to list a few.
We usually have the tendency to pass it on to someone else. Then they do the same, until everyone starts believing that these tips are actually effective. Fashionlady takes a sneak-peak to see of these following weird tips actually work.
Scroll down to check out 10 weirdest beauty tips you’ve heard.
1. Toothpaste zap pimples
Got a pimple just before any big event? Not to worry. Just dab a little toothpaste on that hateful stuff and leave it overnight Toothpaste acts like an astringent drawing impurities out of the skin. The paste will dry up the blemish and help kill germs in the affected area.
2. Mayonnaise for dry hair
