Preparation H for the face?

Ok, this lady on Oprah just said she uses Premarin vaginal cream and Preparation H on her face and it makes her look younger. I guess a dermatologist told her about it. Premarin cream is actually for vaginal dryness at menopause and contains estrogen (and is made from pregnant mare piss, which is undesirable to apply to the face AND cruel to animals) and Preparation H is for treating hemorrhoids on your BUTT! I hadn’t heard of the Premarin thing, but me and a couple of friends had recently discussed Preparation H for lessening swelling under the eyes. We had wondered if it was safe (or desirable) to put something that was made for your butt, on your face. We weren’t sure what hemorrhoids were exactly, just that we thought they occurred, ahem, on the, uh, brown eye.

It turns out that “75% of Americans will experience symptoms from hemorrhoids at some point in their lives. Rest assured that hemorrhoids are rarely a serious health condition, and are more a bothersome problem that can become painful, causing frustration and making everyday activities more difficult and less enjoyable.” I guess you aren’t really aware that your ass can affect your daily activities until it’s throbbing? And was that 75%??? Those are bad odds for my butt! Although, they did stipulate “Americans,” so perhaps living in the US is more of a pain in the ass! Haha. Not sure what the Canadian stats are…

According to the Prep H quiz, vegetarians, couch potatoes and construction workers are at risk for hemmorhoids! Gee, I’d better not become any of those! Click here if you want to check out your hemmy knowledge…

Weird.

Anyways, back to the eye application theory. We figured that if you did decide to try Prep H on the eyes, you should probably have 2 tubes: one solely for the butt, and one only for the eyes.

After all, with one tube you may forget… and DOUBLE DIP!!!!!!!
