We all know celebrities have long been fans of unconventional pampering techniques. And the latest comes from Australian bombshell Margot Robbie.
The 26 year-old has dished on her bizarre beauty techniques, saying that she uses $7 nipple cream as lip balm.
“I use Bepanthen, which is actually a nipple cream for breastfeeding mothers or diaper rash cream for babies,” she said to Cosmopolitan UK.
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.”
Her odd beauty hacks didn’t stop there, however. Robbie also says that she insists on brushing foundation into her eyebrows and hairline to make sure it looks natural.
And what about getting the product into those finer areas? A toothbrush, of course.
“When I put on foundation, I use an eyebrow brush or toothbrush to brush it into my hairline so that it all blends,” she said. “Especially because I have blonde hair but tanned skin, if I don’t blend it, it looks gross ― you can see the foundation in my hair.”
Yep, the Australian actress opts for a plain old toothbrush instead of brushes or beauty blenders. We’re guessing the bristles feel like gentle massage? Or maybe they’re just a fail-safe tool you can always find around the house?
“I do that every single day, and every time my husband [Tom Ackerley] is like, ‘What are you doing?’ And I say, ‘I’m brushing my make-up into my hairline!’ And he’s like, ‘Girls are crazy.'”
Either way, this isn’t the first time Margot has admitted to mixing up her beauty routine. Speaking to Marie Claire US last month, she opened up about some of the unconventional methods she has tried.
“When I visited the Philippines last year I had a really crazy one. First I was smothered all over in clay, then I was wrapped up in banana leaves and my whole face was covered in cucumbers too!” Margot said.
“By the time it was done I was totally mummified and couldn’t move at all and then I was left to lie like that for an hour. I must’ve looked like a fruit bowl but it did actually feel really nice afterwards.”
