Brite Beauty Tip: Pepto Bismol makes the best Face Mask
Yes, you read right…it DOES work on both ends! To get a great facial mask on the cheap, beauty expert and author, Diane Irons, says skip the cosmetic counter altogether and head straight for the drugstore aisle and pick up that pink Pepto Bismol bottle for some facial cleansing time.
“It contains salicylic acid, and if you put a coating on your face, let it set for a few minutes, then wash it off, and your skin will have a mega-glow that shines through even after you put on your makeup,” says Irons, author of, The World’s Best Anti-Aging Secrets.
And, indeed, salicylic acid does get you a nifty face peel. It washes away dead skin cells and keeps your complexion from looking cloudy and old before its time. As crazy as it sounds, Iron says Pepto Bismol works as well as the skin care products containing salicylic acid. And in these economic times, we like two cures for the price of one!
