Cypress Oil and Shaving: A Viral Beauty Hack's Claims Under Scrutiny

A recent video posted by Dina (@dinameetsworld) on May 13th, 2025, has garnered significant attention for its unusual beauty tip. The video, filmed in the US, features Dina demonstrating a method for reducing facial hair growth using cypress oil. She claims that consistent use of this oil while shaving, done in the direction of hair growth, has significantly reduced her own facial hair. "Since I've been so consistent with using cypress oil as I shave my face, my hair has been growing out less and less," she states. While the video's popularity is undeniable (29,300 views, 824 likes, and 479 saves as of May 14th, 2025), the claims require further scientific investigation before widespread adoption. The video's popularity underscores the public's ongoing interest in finding effective and natural beauty solutions.
