How to use preparation h on face?

Are you tired of constantly buying expensive skincare products that promise to solve all your problems but only leave your wallet empty? Look no further porque I gotchu! Have you ever heard of…wait for it…Preparation H, the hemorrhoid cream?! Yes, you read that right. Do not be alarmed if visions of a bearded man smearing butt cream on his face come to mind. Trust me when I say this is the best-kept secret in town.

What is Preparation H and Why Should You Use It?

Before we dive into how to use PREPARATION H (emphasis needed), let’s talk about what it actually is. This ointment consists primarily of petrolatum and mineral oil combined with shark liver oil (yep, sharks) which works as an effective vasoconstrictor “shrinking” swollen tissues by reducing blood flow. Great for those pesky bags under your eyes or that annoying blemish ruining your day.

You might ask “But why would anyone put something meant for their rear end anywhere else?” Well my friends, because beauty knows no bounds!

PREPARATION H‘s main purpose was originally intended to treat external hemorrhoids in adults and now has become a holy grail item used by many makeup artists and beauty bloggers alike due its anti-inflammatory properties across different skin types regardless of gender.

Step-by-Step Guide on Using PREPARATION H

Now let’s get down to business, shall we?

1) Start with Clean Skin

Wash your face with warm water using any facial cleanser suited for your skin type followed by patting dry with a towel.

Feel free to mix up the routine here depending upon whether it’s nighttime or daytime!

2) Apply Ice

Take some ice cubes wrapped in cotton cloth and gently press against the areas of your face that you want to reduce the swelling.

Plus, it wakes up your skin for a firm and taut effect. Excited yet? Now’s where we’ll bring in PREPARATION H!

3) The Right Amount

Now while everyone’s needs are different depending on their skin type, I suggest starting with less than inch sized cream dabbed directly from the tube or applied via q-tip to avoid over-application.

Spread sparingly around eyes, mouth or anywhere you’re concerned about inflammation/swelling using gentle upward motion until absorbed (DO NOT RUB).

Pro tip: Steer clear away from applying near nostrils since active ingredients may be harmful upon inhaling!

4)Add Your Regular Over-the-Counter Moisturizer

Adding an OTC moisturizer after application will help make sure not only your skin remains hydrated but also soothes the treated area whilst providing dual benefits.

With all that peppermint candy-like freshness already making rounds through my mind, let’s look at few more ideas on how and when to use this miracle tub!

Bonus Tips for Using Preparation H

If by now some fingers have started typing “Preparation H side effects” into google (looking at y’all skeptics), check out these tips:

Makeup Base Primer

As if adapting to external hemorrhoids wasn’t enough already, makeup base primers are another great way of incorporating PREPARATION H as they work wonders when trying any new makeup products.

Once cleaning routine is complete, apply topical medicine prior putting setting powder/foundation following same steps as above – this would form second layer atop protecting pores from clogging thus preventing acne breakouts along combating redness/irritation!!!

The rest hold-up is easily done like beauty tutorials everywhere recommend frequently before going ahead with regular full-fledged daily-instances.

Puffy Eyes? Say No More!

From lack of sleep to binge-watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S throughout all night, getting puffy eyes is almost like catching cold in fall. However, apply a small layer underneath or overtones lid using concealer brush/sponge and voila bye-bye under-eye bags!

Also prevents makeup from creasing/cracking during day ensuring flawless finish.

Dab it Away

Instead of swiping the cream under your eyes use fingers or cotton pads/tip for more precise spot-treated results.

Pro tip; chill it in fridge overnight prior to application instead alleviating dark circles by morning.

Final Thoughts on Preparation H: Not Just Another Cream Anymore

Who would’ve thought hemorrhoid cream could make its way to one’s vanity shelf. It definitely isn’t just another cream anymore as we learned today how multi-functional PREPARATION H can be once incorporated into skincare routines providing lasting benefits that outweigh the initial skeptic exasperation stage like reduced puffiness, minimized inflammation & spots along with an affordable price point too.

Next time someone asks about your beauty routine while you’re busy treating yourself with this wonder-cream don’t be shy! Tell them the secret because spreading good news always feels great…just as closing off with a Horoscope ending line~ So ‘go boldly my friends who choose prepping daily’!
