Preparation H. That’s right---you read this correctly. The same cream used to cure hemorrhoids is also being used to help women shrink the puffiness around their eyes. It supposedly restricts the blood vessels in the area where it is applied.
OK, I’ve heard of home remedies to cure what ails you but I think this is ridiculous! I can’t image putting anything, used to cure something on my behind, anywhere else on my body.
There are women who swear by this. Although Christina Ricci isn’t a baby boomer, she has been quoted as saying, "Preparation H is the best thing for swollen eyes. I keep it in the fridge because it works best cold.”
Apparently the ointment is creating quite a buzz ever since blogger and author Rob Fitzgerald wrote in a blog post this week that guys were rubbing Preparation H on themselves before going into clubs to make themselves look "ripped."
