Hilary Swank

Hilary Swank has admitted to slathering haemorrhoid cream on to the bags under her eyes in order to reduce puffiness, although the product's strength means doing this could well do more harm than good. "Putting haemorrhoid cream under and around the sensitive eye area to tighten the skin and reduce puffiness is a really bad idea, especially when you consider that there are so many fantastic specific beauty products out there in the market today to target this specific problem," says Chase Aston, international make-up artist for the Body Shop.
