MAKE YOUR OWN BAC WATER

Curious about how to make your own Bacteriostatic (BA) water? It’s not too hard! While we sell it cheap here on the store for convenience, if you’re curious and handy, it’s not too hard to make yourself.

Materials Needed

Water

Obtain a decent source of clean water. While lab-grade DI water isn’t necessary, we don’t recommend river water either. Most will opt for sealed bottled water, or distilled water from the store. Your main concern here is heavy metals (often found in tap water), as benzyl alcohol cannot neutralize these.

Insulin Syringe

>99.5% Benzyl Alcohol

Alcohol Wipes

Empty 10ml sterile vial(s)

Math

To complete our product, we will be adding a small amount of Benzyl Alcohol to sterile water, forming a solution of 0.9% Benzyl Alcohol (i.e. 99.1% water).

e.g:

To make 10 mL of bacteriostatic water, you need 9 units of benzyl alcohol (0.09 mL).
To make 30 mL of bacteriostatic water, you need 27 units of benzyl alcohol (0.27 mL).
To make 100 mL of bacteriostatic water, you need 90 units of benzyl alcohol (0.9 mL).

100 units = 1 mL
1 unit = 0.01 mL
1 mL = 1 cc

Directions

Use an alcohol swab to wipe the tops of all vials you are working with.
Using a clean insulin syringe, measure out an appropriate amount of benzyl alcohol per the math above, adjusting the numbers if necessary based on your desired volume.
After drawing out the benzyl alcohol, re-cap the needle and set aside.
Use a new needle to inject the correct amount of water into each vial (e.g. a 10ml vial will have 9.91ml of water).
Inject the benzyl alcohol to each vial you’re making.

Preparation H … on your face? Yes, you read that correctly.

TODAY Style recently asked dermatologists to share their favorite solutions for reducing under-eye puffiness, and we were surprised to find so many recommending hemorrhoid cream

“Preparation H is a vasoconstrictor,” explained Dr. Sejal Shah, founder of Smarter Skin Dermatology in New York City. “By narrowing the vessels, it helps reduce puffiness. It can also make any bluish discoloration less noticeable.”

According to celebrity groomer KC Fee, it’s a well-known secret in the beauty industry.

“As weird as it sounds, it actually works,” said Fee, who has worked with Armie Hammer, Billy Eichner and more. “If you have sensitive skin, you might want to use it sparingly and keep it on for only about 10 minutes or so.”

Others caution that, while it works, the effects don’t last very long. “It is good to use it only on special occasions. Use a tiny amount of Preparation H cream under the eye area, being careful not to get any into your eyes because it may cause severe irritation. And let it dry before applying makeup,” suggested makeup artist Kyriaki Savrani.
