Rubbing coffee on thighs to combat cellulite and applying baking soda on teeth to make them look shiny and whiter are few of the many women's weird beauty secrets.
Some other secrets include rinsing hair with raw eggs or beer to make it shiny and dabbing toothpaste on spots and insect bites to help in healing them.
According to survey women also said they would be prepared to shell out £79 on average for the latest, all singing and dancing wonder beauty products.
Some of the interesting study findings according to the Simple spokeswoman:
More conventional remedies to maintain youthful appearance include drinking plenty of water, milk and cranberry juice, the survey revealed.
Other unconventional remedies include rubbing strawberries on the face to minimize the appearance of freckles and addition of sugar in soap to exfoliate.
Wrinkle busting tips were suggested as sleeping on your back to avoid lines on your face and investing in a silk pillow case.
The poll delved in to women's opinions of harsh cosmetic treatments with one in five females saying those who went under the knife to stay youthful were vain and self-absorbed.
Around a third said they have "more money than sense".
When asked what the key to looking young and beautiful was, three quarters of women said it was maintaining a healthy diet.
About Two thirds hailed drinking lots of water as critical to keeping youthful but 57 percent said it was down to the genes you were born with.
A third attributed it to a good daily beauty regime and religiously removing make-up.
A dedicated 14 percent said they even go the lengths of eating specific food and diets in order to stay young with broccoli being the most popular, followed by oily fish.
Two thirds said they find conflicting claims from beauty products confusing although ten percent said "anything was worth a shot".
