Sandra Bullock has admitted to using haemorrhoid cream on her under eye bags to reduce puffiness - she apparently learnt the trick while filming Miss Congeniality. "I didn't realise that putting haemorrhoid ointment on your face is acceptable in the beauty business," says Sandra. "But apparently, butt cream helps lines around the eyes!" Sandra's beauty tip may be one of the strangest, but it's also a beauty tip that many celebrities are said to swear by. However, Aneta at John Masters Organics urges caution. "Ingredients in haemorrhoid cream can shrink blood vessels, but the cream is too strong to be used on the under eye area. Instead, look for an eye gel that contains shea butter and rye to hydrate and firm the skin." John Masters Organics Firming Eye Gel (

"The Canadian formulation of Preparation H includes a yeast extract called BioDyne which has been removed from the formulation previously sold in the United States in 1995. This yeast extract is believed by many to remove wrinkles from skin and heal dry, cracked, and irritated skin. Thus the Canadian formulation has acquired a market in the United States as a skin cream. The manufacturer of this active ingredient has subsequently marketed it to the cosmetic industry as an anti-wrinkle product."
