Beauty Behind Bars: Wild Prison Makeup & Skincare Hacks

[@josie.s3]

i love that hyram makes sure everyone can feel like they can appreciate their own beauty no matter what! ❤❤

[@NurseHallauer]

Phenylepherine is in hemorrhoid cream because it is a vasoconstrictor. So it makes sense it would help under eye puffiness. It’s also taken orally (in tabs) to decongest your sinuses and, fun fact, is administered in the ICU as a literal life-support drug to treat deadly-low blood pressure!

[@KRKimbler]

That hemorrhoid cream trick was in Ms. Congeniality in the year 2000. I've never tried it, but it's not new. As far as prison skincare in general is concerned, it never occurred to me. Then again, I'm glad it has never needed to. Hope you hold onto that idealism. Mine definitely has declined with age. I have always admired your kindness.

[@jessicadiaz6974]

The exact movie I thought of when she showed the hemorrhoid cream 😂

[@foxlunacy]

This was a super interesting video, and I am impressed by how innovative people are to retain a sense or normality when they have few options. The part about how not all prisons give out washcloths broke my heart. People in prison are still human. They are human. You don’t know their experience and what led the decisions they have made (or didn’t make since, as Hyram said, not everyone in prison committed a crime).

[@Hyram]

Right? It's so disheartening to hear and imagine. It's so inhumane and there's a reason why people come out of prison so broken. It's the most basic human needs 😣

[@elitevald2561]

not prison, but when i was in a psychiatric hospital we weren’t allowed any skincare or makeup. this was really really tough on a lot of the girls especially, because they already felt mentally horrible, and now they couldn’t wear the clothes or makeup that make them feel beautiful or comfortable (they were extremely strict on clothes too). psych hospitals especially, but prisons too, are supposed to be rehabilitative, but too many people leave feeling worse than they did before

[@Hyram]

Oh my gosh that's so sad to hear 🥺😢

[@samesta5695]

That’s terrible. I can’t think of any good reason for that. Hope you’re doing better.

[@LunaLamperouge]

I love Tinaaa, is so cool that you reacted to her, she has amazing content about what is like to be in prison, to have an addiction and the recovery road, its awesome really! Her motto is "We do recover" and if you see her comments a lot of people who are ex addicts who are now sober, people who are trying to become sober, people who have family members struggling with addiction or people who had gone through the prison sistem and are trying to have a normal life now all look up to her and think her content is so conforting, relatable or just informative for those who have never went through what she went through ❤

[@Hyram]

That's amazing! I'll have to check out more of her content 😄

[@IttyBitty412]

HAAA I went to jail for stabbing the 6 foot 250 pound man that was beating me up for 8 years in the arm and he didn't even need stitches .... I'm 5 foot 120 pounds and was often withdrawaling and so sick and he would sexually abuse me too. He called 911 and fake cried and said there was blood everywhere and there wasn't and I was addicted to drugs and being used and abused by him. Took full advantage of me. But he ADMITTED everything to the cops but they didn't care, I think because I was a drug addict. He didn't even get in trouble and I have a lump on my head FROM THAT NIGHT that won't go away. But whatever. I'm clean now and trying to get my life back. I'm on probation. I didn't go to prison but I went to jail! He got in NO TROUBLE.

[@ruby.10.]

DAMN R u ok now?

[@cheezuschrist1102]

bro you good?!?!

[@kiwi6421]

That is such a life experience. Thank you for sharing. Stay strong

[@sk-cd7fv]

stay strong wish u all the best!!

[@miner09]

Dang bro I posted my story above yours and hope you ok have fun reading one ig and I’m not allowed to talk about why rn btw

[@KaylaCash-ez8ni]

I think that it’s super important for people in prison and stuff to at least have some access to things that make them feel beautiful because it could boost their mental health and state of mind to strive to become better individuals and turn away from what they have done and also just to boost their self esteem as well no matter what the situation is

[@Hyram]

100% agree 🥺

[@francheek3206]

As a person studying social research and criminology currently writing my diss on the prison system, thank you for your compassionate view on prison and for pointing out the inequalities and biases within the “justice” system. It’s so easy to judge without knowing the whole story, everyone deserves self care and criminal behaviour is such a complex issue

[@CK-vf4nx]

The thing that I ❤ about Hyram is that he always tries to help people no matter what their background is or their status in life. He is a truly humanitarian with a beautiful soul 😊

[@Hyram]

Thank you! I try my best 🥹💙

[@Kaenightowl]

Good to see you Hyram! Love the shirt you are wearing in the video. I’m fascinated by this topic and I’m so glad to see you make a video about it. I can imagine having a self care routine in a difficult situation like being in prison would have some positive benefits on a persons self worth.

[@Hyram]

Aww thanks boo! Yeah self care is just a basic human need and can make such a difference 💙

[@Undefinedinc]

TY for calling out how broken the criminal justice system is 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@justmewhoelse85]

My mom told me about the hemorrhoid cream thing almost 30 years ago 😂 I love Tinaaa’s content as well! She showed up on my feed one day and I’m so glad she did. I’d love to see a video about skincare for younger kids. My 8 yr old is getting blackheads and the occasional pimple and while I know which products I love, they aren’t necessarily going to be right for her needs.

[@RitaVernoy]

I love your compassion. I also am so amazed at the innovation of those in prison. It’s inspirational.😊I have used hemorrhoid cream for under eyes. It’s old school! Speaking as a 58 yr old grandma😊

[@skylerjackson146]

I love amanda! Definitely follow her if youre interested in learning about prison

[@rekikawet1297]

THIS VIDEO WAS A BANGER

[@quswa_arham]

his smile is actually so beautiful.

[@Hyram]

Aww thank you! ☺️

[@heatherjane910]

Love your positivity as always ❤

[@Hyram]

Thank you!! 💙

[@traceycrawford9938]

Thank you for making this wonderful compassionate video Hyram, really interesting. As someone who suffers from acne, I’m wondering if people in prison, who suffer from acne or other skin conditions, are given proper treatments for these conditions (or do they just have to live with it)? Because skin problems, especially on your face, just destroy your self esteem. And yes, the haemorrhoid cream definitely works under the eyes because it’s made to reduce swelling 😉❤️❤️🇦🇺

[@citolim1]

the hair on skin tags works. my mom used to ask me to tie off her skin tags on her neck and it just falls off after a day or 2.

[@Hyram]

I'm equally intrigued and scared 🫣😂

[@elizabeth72684]

I love the empathy & education in this video ❤ Also yes please try the science experiment under the eyes 😂

[@Hyram]

Hahaha so many people are asking I might have to

[@BostonChattanooga]

This was such a fascinating video, I truly considered taking notes. That coffee lotion foundation blew my mind 😮

[@Hyram]

Aw thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! And yeah that foundation one was so shocking!

[@TheWildCard-829]

Hyram is the god-sent hero we all need!! ❤

[@AlyssaCaputo-nx7py]

I used African black soap via a friends recommendation years ago. They said your skin will purge. My skin was the worst it had ever been. Guess it depends on the soap and your skin type. My face was covered in painful cystic acne and dry skin. (Had to switch to a stronger moisturizer after that) it may work for some but not everyone. I can’t imagine how awful it would be for anyone in prison using it and having the same effects i did.

[@jacobhundt105]

Your amazing 😊

[@autumnmathes5364]

I've been hearing about the hemorrhoid cream hack on under eyes since the eighties. I believe it started as a modeling hack but I could be wrong

[@Mango30255]

@Hyram I think you’re one of the kindest people in the world! keep it going What products can prevent pimples and acne ( I don’t have any though)?

[@Hyram]

Aww thank you! 💙 For helping to prevent pimples and acne I would recommend The Inkey List Salicylic Acid Cleanser - howl.me/cknHFk3C2qU or my brand Selfless by Hyram Salicylic Acid Serum - howl.me/cktIIMhGg6q 😄

[@Mango30255]

Ur welcome!

[@Mango30255]

Can you get ur products in Australia

[@AKbaby89]

Everyone just needs your cleanser and the retinol serum. I may have gone through like 20 bottles 😂😂

[@OneLoveCali]

The skin tag hair hack & the hemorrhoid cream for the under eyes both work!!

[@Hyram]

That's awesome! I kinda wanna try now haha but use one of my girl friends' hair instead of mine 😂

[@OneLoveCali]

😅

[@Jesusisking-k3y]

I love his shirt 😊

[@Hyram]

Aww thank you!

[@Jesusisking-k3y]

@@Hyram omg hi I love you I have watched ur vids for so long!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@yeneka713]

I’m 50, and using hemorrhoid cream for undereyes has been around for a very very long time. I learned it when i was in my late teens or early twenties from older relatives, so the “hack” has been passed around for many decades. It does work, and i think a video would be fun to watch! Side note: if you’re going to do this hack, PLEASE have a separate tube for using on your face…❤️

[@carneshiareed643]

I love you Hyram!

[@Hyram]

Thanks boo ily2! 🫶

[@doriescott1160]

Yes! I would love to see you try the hemorrhoid cream for your under eyes. I have a feeling it’s gonna work.😁

[@Munera99]

Can you please review la roche pose eye cream🥺

[@MissFluffyPink]

My skincare horror stories (just in time for Halloween 🎃🦇💀) 1. 25 minute toothpaste facemask! After being told to put toothpaste on pimples to pull out the impurites that creates the pimple I decided that a toothpaste facemask would be the next logical step. The menthol made my eyes burn lile fire and I had tears streaming down my face because of course I put it all around my eyes and on the eyelids 😭 Left it on for 25 minutes before proceeding to SCRAPE it off with a table knife, it had hardened too much to just use water. I then used hot hot hot water and handsoap to wash the last of it off. Did this every other week for a couple of months before realising my acne wasnt affected at all. 2. Used acetone/nailpolish remover on my face. This was a honest misstake but after trying to pop a pimples that weren't ready I often ended up with wounds on my face. I knew bacteria collected under the nails and would sometimes use saline wound wash to clean the wounds. But one time I mixed up the acetone bottle and the saline bottle, aka I put nailpolish remover all over my face and in the open wounds! Good lord the BURN🔥 3. Bleaching facial hair with salon grade hair bleach (40 volume developer). This was AFTER I had made my friend bleed by applying that very same bleach onto her scalp when helping her bleach her hair 😱

[@Hyram]

OMG these really are horror stories 😱💀 Sounds like they were all immediate lessons learned and you never did them again though right?

[@MissFluffyPink]

@@Hyram Uum... Well... Sort of? 😅 The toothpaste face mask I used for several weeks but after those weeks I completley stopped. The bleach and acetone were definitely one time things buuut I did try to bleach my facial hair with lemon juice and sunshine a couple of times after that. Because when life gives you lemons, put it on your face 🤣🍋

[@briannan1446]

I've heard of the hemorrhoid cream used in beauty competitions years ago, supposedly it helped with puffiness. Which does I guess make sense based on what it's intended used is.

[@alinefranken2380]

I really loved this video, something that really is not talked ❤ also, so that experiment ahahhaha

[@Hyram]

Yay I'm so glad! 😄 hahaha

[@penelopemargretchao]

what products do you recomend . ?

[@darshies10]

I remember seeing the hemorrhoid cream on the eye area trending a few years ago

[@AKbaby89]

My best friend spent a few years in jail (im from Alaska and she just did time in our jail because she didn't have a long enough sentence to be transferred to a women's prison) and she used to make money by using floss to do ppls eyebrows😂

[@Hyram]

No wayyy! That's brilliant! 😂😍

[@xosjadey]

im 11 and have really bad skin and your helping me alot!

[@Hyram]

Aww I'm so glad, that makes me so happy! You're the one turning words into actions though, keep up the good work! 😄

[@larisa3494]

hey hyram, what are your thoughts on Nivea Cellular Luminous serum for acne spots? does it have good ingredients for acne scars

[@jenniferdepalma120]

Heart of gold. More of you please 🙏🏼 and I vote for the hemorrhoid cream! Let us know 😂

[@Hyram]

Aww thank you! 🥹💙

Love you Hyram❤❤❤

[@cutieema8004]

THUNK😂😂😂

[@whitneylilly2153]

I tried African black soap and it actually made my skin worse. I don’t know why it didn’t work or what I did wrong but it never helped.

[@alexisgmoney]

It can be really harsh if you have drier skin. I tend to be oily and it works well, but still need to immediately moisturize cause it can be drying

[@Lazychick83]

ok how hav u never heard the hemerroid under eye. dont understand it either, but it seems to help

[@CaliforniaBabe0525]

People become very creative given enough time. Being in jail for 17 years for example gives you lots of thinking time. Have you guys seen how people make food in prison? It's crazy

[@Hyram]

From what others are saying, it just seems I've missed the bandwagon on this one 😅

[@mollymccarthy8042]

Thank you for bringing up the inequality POC face within the American Justice System!! It’s important that videos like these are done in an informative and tasteful way just like this one!

[@LunaLamperouge]

I whish you had explained if the egg white on the face actually so something for the skin since you have the scientific knowledge etc or if is bs. I did one time but I didn't notice a change really but I am not the most observant person so I probably didn't really look my skin that much lmao or maybe I should have trying that more times to see something idk

[@monkey93xf]

Hemorrhoid cream is just concentrated witch hazel gel!

[@kerrivincent4440]

Ok so when I was away we used to have one of the girls go to a sick call and get the pads/wipes used for hemorrhoids and they would keep the acne away. I tell u what I was only gone for 6 months … my skin was SUUFFERINGGGGG! when I got Home… my skin was clear within a week! Props to all the girls that found hacks cuz… that shit is hard and almost impossible.

[@Hyram]

Wow that's so smart! 👏

[@jillievanilli1767]

People have been using Preparation H under their eyes to reduce swelling and puffiness for YEARS.

[@Hyram]

Shoot well I've been living under a rock for that trend 😅

[@kelsierobinson2294]

When I was like 12-16 I would do a “toothpaste mask” 2 times a week, like sleep mask style… I’d wear it overnight on my entire face. Honestly the best my skin has ever been but it could also be the lead cause as to why I can’t control it now lol

[@faebaby122]

I learned the hemorrhoid cream hack from Miss Congeniality 😂

[@lexiqu360]

Hyram would you consider becoming an aesthetician?

[@IttyBitty412]

DO IT. USE THE HEMORRHOID CREAM!

[@libbybeliveau7506]

I can't believe you haven't heard of hemorrhoid cream for bags under the eyes! I'm not *that* old, but I believe women have been doing this since the 70's.

[@Hyram]

I know so many people have said it's been around for ages! I guess I've just been living under a rock for this trend! 🥲

[@aprilleppard4848]

[@miner09]

I was in and let me say be careful and don’t go in all we had was a tiny bar full of chemicals that broke me out and dried me out and I have combination to oily skin and it even suck worse when the only spoon you get is a pice of card boar that folds up into one and 😅 yea that was it and you get like a 1.6 inch long toothbrush with a same size toothpaste tube and it was clear everything was clear so you can’t hide anything and I got a plastic square with 2 small foam pads on top and 2 scratchy uncomfortable moving blankets and no pillow lights were always on so they could see it you were harming yourself it was ruf but we did get private showers 😂 and yes we had coco butter but not allowed in your cell we also had cucumber shampoo and conditioner from the dollar tree 🎉 but one good thing the AC was set at 66 degrees 😮so it was very nice and cold but sometimes to cold we did get to watch tv but lots was blocked and we had a WII to play on and a card game and the food was actually not that bad “100% better than McDonalds” but we also had private cells……….. THATS MY STORY!

I hate that Hyram is like judging these people. Like they didn’t have a choice in what they could really do. They couldn’t just go to commissary and say “Can I have a pimple popper”

[@dmwellington]

He literally said he's not judging cause their limited to what they can use

[@taylorgayhart9497]

So you didn’t watch the video at all did you? He does the exact opposite of what you describe…

[@shelby6]

I dont understand why he still has a platform or ever had one

Basic skin care is simple. That could be your side hustle. To bring skin care to peeps that need a simple fix. Your so right, feel good look good, look good feel good❤️‍🩹
