10 Weird things women do for beauty every day

Comparte

If you're like me, you never give your beauty routine a second thought; you just go through the motions and get 'em done. But when you take a minute to really think about what each step of your routine really entails, you begin to realize just weird some of them actually are.

For instance, every morning I pull my hair out by the root, scrape skin off my face, and iron my hair into submission. Sounds like torture, doesn't it? Well, it sorta is. But it's also just a run of the mill beauty routine. And you know what? I'm not alone. Every day, women across the world engage in similar routines, never giving them second thought … until now, that is.

Here are 10 seemingly mundane beauty rituals that are actually extraordinarily werid when you really give them some serious thought. By the end of this list, I promise you'll never look at your morning routine the same way again.

Plucking your brows. Oh, you mean using little metal plyers to pull hair out of your face? Yeah, that doesn't sound like torture, at all.
Applying fake eyelashes. So let me get this straight–you just spent 15 minutes removing hair from your face, only to glue fake hair right back onto it?
Curling your hair. Or as I like to think of it: threatening your hair into submission by wrapping it around a hot piece of metal that you happen to be holding two inches away from your face.
Applying fake nails. Never mind that we can grow our own nails in a matter of days, many of us would rather pay someone to apply fake plastic uñas onto our finger tips because … well, I'm not sure why.
Wearing high heels. There's nothing sexier than a woman teetering around on the balls of her feet in foot-deforming, posture ruining stilettos. Amiright, ladies?
Wearing purses. You're essentially hauling 20 pounds worth of random objects around in a sack slung over your shoulder. Do you even need half the stuff you have in there? Probably not.
Wearing a thong. Because both men and women think wedgies are sexier than visible panty lines. Go figure.
Wearing fajas. You impair your ability to breathe, eat and move, all in the name of appearing "put together." Seems legit.
Using tampons. Tampons are wads of cotton that we stuff into our hoohas, sorta like a cotton wine cork. Think about it.
Applying makeup. Many of us treat our faces like midcentury fixer-uppers, painting them to make them appear younger and more appealing to the outside world.
