Viral “hacks” come in two categories: The “why didn’t I think about that” ones and the “why would anyone do that” bucket. This one is definitely leaning on the LATTER side for me… but maybe it’s for you?
There’s apparently a beauty trend going viral on TikTok known as “broccoli freckles.” It’s simple: You take a broccoli floret out of the fridge, dab the floret end into some makeup, and then you “stamp” it onto your face.
Some are calling it “the ultimate faux-freckle hack,” because it leaves tiny dots that resemble freckles.
One influencer named Zak Heath says he’s made it a staple in his routine. He says, “I tried using a ‘freckle pen’, it works well,[but] broccoli, because of its shape [is] a fun, easy alternative.”
It might be fun and easy, but it isn’t cheaper. Most freckle pens seem to cost under $10. These days, keeping a steady supply of fresh broccoli in your fridge will add up fast.
