Miracle Beauty Secret: Preparation H
Recently I discovered a wonder, and a very unlikely, beauty product. Yes, people, as the tile of this blog suggests the beauty product I am talking about is indeed Preparation H! Yes that Preparation H, the same one you use to treat hemorrhoids, and now as I discovered, bags under your eyes, puffiness, and bruising.
I am being totally serious here, this is not a joke. The key is in the ingredients that make up Preparation H and how it reacts with your body. Preparation H is designed to treat hemorrhoids by causing the blood vessels to contract and break apart and thus be reabsorbed by the body. Bags under your eyes, puffiness, and bruises are the result of fluid and blood collection in those areas. So when you apply it to these areas it helps the fluid and blood deposits to break up and be reabsorbed into the body.
Apparently this little beauty secret isn't new. Most women I have told this to since my discovery have confirmed it, saying they have known this for years. Even my 47 year old aunt has known about the beauty properties of Preparation H since the 70's!! Why didn't anyone tell me this sooner! While there is nothing better for bags and body healing as lots of good sleep, Preparation H does actually help in reducing the appearance of redness, puffiness, and bruising, especially bruising. My bruises heal twice as fast when treated with it, even the really severe and prominent ones (Before any of your sickos even come up with some perverted reason why I know this let me just tell you that I am clumsy and bump into a lot of furniture, hence I get a lot of bruises!).
BTW, just so you know in further experimentation I have found the most successful treatment for bags is to apply Preparation H to the areas around your eyes at night and go to bed. The more sleep you get the better. If you get up a lot in the night continue to reapply. In the morning before you go out the door, put some moisturizer on the areas around your eyes where you had the Preparation H, particularly under your eyes. You'll see very dramatic results. Keep this regimen up for a week and you'll notice the skin around your eyes is brighter, less puffy, and closer in tone to the rest of the skin on your face. The addition of the moisturizer also helps with the appearance of wrinkles around your eyes. While it won't make them go away completely it definitely helps them to be less obvious.
So with that having been said I need to get myself to bed, and perform my new nightly ritual!
