\"024b7de2-732d-4a49-ba6d-c07fbc165179\"<\/a>Researchers have carried out a detailed study<\/a> into beauty regimes, habits and rituals.\u00a0 Their findings are – four out of ten women utilise goods found in kitchen cupboards to look good.<\/p>\n

The extreme lengths to which women go to were revealed following a comprehensive study involving 2,000 women by sophisticated dairy drink Modern Milk.<\/p>\n

The research revealed the majority of women stick to tried and tested beauty rituals passed down through the family or gleaned from female friends and colleagues.<\/p>\n

They include drinking two litres of bottled water every day and drinking a glass of milk or two when possible to give the body a calcium boost.<\/p>\n

The survey also revealed that tomatoes (74%) salmon (59%), olive oil (56%), oats (54%) and avocado (40%) were foods that women consider an important part of diet in terms of beauty. Top of their list was that old favourite milk, which 77% of women in the UK believe is the most important beauty food, especially when it comes to their skin, hair and nails.<\/p>\n

This was pleasing news to TV Doctor Dr Hilary Jones, a big fan of milk, who believes women shouldn\u2019t be wasting money on cosmetics but spending it on foods that are rich in calcium and essential nutrients.<\/p>\n

Dr Hilary said: “You need milk in your diet for health and as an additional bonus it has beauty benefits and doesn\u2019t cost the earth. I support supermarkets like Tesco putting really great offers on beauty foods such as Modern Milk, which contain added vitamins and minerals and are one of life\u2019s natural beauty products”.<\/p>\n

Along with traditional methods, the study also revealed a plethora of more modern unconventional habits undertaken by women in the privacy of their bathrooms.<\/p>\n

It found many shave their legs with hair conditioner, WHY?????<\/p>\n

Others admitted to splashing lemon juice on their hair in the hope it will develop a lighter tint when exposed to the sunlight.<\/p>\n

Brushing hair with talcum powder to freshen it up and using lipstick on the cheeks when blusher runs out also emerged as common tricks.<\/p>\n

Vaseline is regularly used to smooth out frizzy hair and many women also use toothpaste to soothe insect bites.<\/p>\n

Among the other weird and wonderful techniques was pinching cheeks before entering nightclubs, bars or restaurants to give them a radiant red glow, using tea tree oil on in growing hairs and steaming the face in herb water.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
