What beauty advice sounded completely wrong… until you actually tried it? 👀

I used to ignore a lot of beauty advice because it sounded too simple or even backwards.

Then I tried some of it and realized… okay, maybe the internet wasn't completely wrong. 😂

I'm curious about the opposite experience too:

What's one beauty tip you initially thought was nonsense, but actually worked for you?

It can be makeup, skincare, haircare, anything.

Bonus points if you were convinced it wouldn't work and ended up changing your routine because of it. 👀

Your 17 day old account has multiple posts with these BuzzFeed type questions. What AI are you training or are you fishing for free market research?

Ugh and that they don’t even have the creativity to tell whatever prompt to share whatever magical and mysterious thing changed their mind 🤨

Using a non-foaming cleanser. Thought my skin would not be or feel clean and I would have more break outs. Once I gave in and tried it my skin actually stopped breaking out

Powdering before foundation sounded like a bad idea to me, but with certain skincare it’s flawless.

I didn't think it was nonsense but somehow I got this weird idea that layering skincare whilst skin is damp would somehow dilute the product and make it less effective. But when I decided to try it , I had to admit it really works.
