Published on September 25, 2019, a day when beauty standards seemed to know no bounds.
For many women, achieving a glowing complexion is a serious business. They will stop at nothing to get the perfect skin, a snatched waist, and a big bum.
Some of the unorthodox home remedies that have been practiced in the pursuit of beauty include using baby poop to remove impurities and turmeric to scrub the skin.
But that's not all - some women have also been known to use male sperm to achieve smooth, supple skin, and even cow dung as a face mask to remove impurities.
Other bizarre concoctions include grating carrots to enhance the skin hue, mixing raw egg yolk with other ingredients to be applied on the skin, and using gold powder as a highlighter to achieve sharp cheekbones.
And if that's not enough, some women have even been known to use refrigerated Colgate to remove blackheads and pimples, and drink their own urine first thing in the morning to expel toxins from their body.
