Hair removal is the holy grail and beauty vlogger Madina Shrienzada claims she’s discovered one of the simplest and cheapest ways to stay smooth and hair-free.

The two secret ingredients are toothpaste mixed with turmeric powder!
“This is such an easy little concoction using @crest toothpaste😉 & turmeric powder,” she tells her 413,000 instagram followers.
“The turmeric is a calming agent for the skin while the toothpaste is the main agent for hair removal! Mix & apply evenly. Allow it to dry and rub skin in opposite direction of hair growth. Wipe it with wet cloth & violà.”
The post features a video of Madina removing the hair on her forearms in what looks like a quick and mess-free few minutes.
But not everyone is convinced and the comments feature more tragedy than triumph.
“It didn’t help me!!! My nails are yellow, it’s ugly!” types one. “Tried and failed,” says another.
Who knew…perhaps toothpaste is better on your teeth than your arms after all!
