I was listening to talk radio this morning. The topic was about the latest trend among young New york city males. it seems that they like to coat their chests and abs with Perparation H. The claim is that it makes them looked jacked. The hosts said that this was a technique used by body builders to reduce their lovehandles. Sounded strange to me, but what the hell do I know.
But what really caught my attention was that the hosts said that people had long been using Prep H to reduce the swelling under their eyes for various purposes. Is this urban legend? Are people really lathering up their torsos and faces with butt balm?

I'm not...LoL

beauty pagant contestants have been using it under their eyes for years.

I've heard the eye thing..never done it.

uh yeah, I've used it under my eyes before - it tightens the skin....

yeah, its true, the ingredients in the medication does the same on the face and body like it does on the a***,reduces swelling, funny

not my torso, face nor rear

YUP---used around the eyes for puffiness---shrinks the painful swelling!!

Prep H has been used for years by models to decrease swelling and dark spots under their eyes

I don't know about using it on the body, but know someone who uses it under their eyes. Most ointments say not to get in your eyes. I would not do it for sure.

They were talking about that on my radio too today!!!

I actually use it to reduce the swelling under my eyes it works wonderfully. Models have been using it for years.

Marley, You remind me of evil Spock

Ever used it for any of those purposes

In one of Michael Connelly's books the dead guy used prep. H. to reduce the lines around his eyes. I think the book was written in late 80's or early 90's.

Thought that I would get a closeup. Looks good.

Damn right.
