Behind every flawless selfie, there’s a celebrity suffering at the hands of a bizarre beauty addiction.
From nipple cream as lip balm to conditioning your hair with Coca-Cola, celebrities reveal their cult beauty secrets that they can’t live without.
“The one beauty tip that I always use that my mum passed down was when I get a pimple, I use toothpaste. I just put it on [a pimple] at night before I go to sleep. Then I take [a small piece of] toilet paper, get it wet, put it on my finger and press it over the top, and peel [the excess paper off] around my finger. It dries kind of like a paper-mâché and it holds in the moisture and the toothpaste. In the morning, you just put a wet towel on it, and it all comes off.”- Gigi Hadid
“I use Bepanthen, which is actually a nipple cream for breastfeeding mothers or diaper rash cream for babies. I have a conspiracy theory that lip balms actually have additives in them to dry your lips out so you keep buying them. But because Bepanthen is just a cream for dry skin, it works. It’s what I’ve used my whole life.” – Margot Robbie
“I’ve been stung by bees. It’s a thousands of years old treatment called apitherapy. People use it to get rid of inflammation and scarring. It’s actually pretty incredible if you research it. But, man, it’s painful.” – Gwyneth Paltrow
“In the islands, rum isn’t only for drinking. You can actually put rum on your hair. If you put it on your ends, you get sort of an ombré thing. Because with the sun, the rum bleaches your hair. That was sort of a natural way of getting highlights.” – Zoe Saldana
“To reduce puffiness, slice up a few refrigerated potatoes, soak them in water for a moment or two and then place them over your lids for 15 minutes. Works like a charm.” – Lauren Conrad
“I love to eat an apple after a meal, just to cleanse my teeth they always look polished afterwards. If there aren’t any apples in the fruit bowl, a strawberry will suffice. The juice or pulp of strawberries contains malic acid which serves as an astringent and can lighten surface stains. I do condition my hair with honey and beer. I smell like the bottom of a beer barrel for days afterwards but it’s very good for the hair.” – Catherine Zeta-Jones
“To wake myself up or make my skin less dull I’ll dunk my head in a bowl of ice…it’s like taking a cold plunge with your face” – Kate Hudson
“I rinse my hair with Coca-Cola sometimes. I don’t like my hair when it’s washed – it’s fine and limp – but Coca-Cola makes it tousled like I’ve gone through the Amazon or something.” – Suki Waterhouse
“If you make a mistake with your mascara, dip a cotton ball into some foundation to remove it and conceal at the same time.” – Emma Watson
“I try to keep the temperature in my bedroom on the cool side – I find it helps to calm puffiness.” – Kate Winslet
“I put the body oil all over my body because I heard if you put it on before you work out, you get really firm skin and no wrinkles” – Kim Kardashian explained in a Snapchat video.
