The bizarre skincare hacks Brits swear by include teabags, egg and baking soda

A study of 2,000 adults found 32% try DIY skincare with food; 18% reported negative reactions and 49% use these remedies to prevent skin issues, research shows.

  • One in three adults experiment with DIY skincare regimes using household items, though 18 per cent of these experienced a negative reaction, according to OnePoll research.
  • The study found three in 10 use DIY hacks for natural ingredients, 19 per cent to avoid harsh chemicals, and 21 per cent because they are cheaper than store-bought products.
  • Millennials spend £205 annually on skincare—the highest of any generation—compared to £80 for Boomers, while 56 per cent of respondents have experienced skin conditions like eczema or acne.
  • Surcare appointed Katie Piper OBE as brand and wellness consultant, who emphasizes that "Choosing laundry formulations that are kind to skin... is just as important as the skincare you apply directly."
  • Participants spend just under 16 hours daily in contact with fabrics, and Piper notes that "Small, thoughtful choices- like using dermatologically approved laundry products- can help support your skin without adding complexity or risk.
