MUNCHAUSEN-BY-PROXY survivor Gypsy Rose Blanchard recently shared a vital part of her beauty routine she picked up behind bars.
She revealed that she used two items usually kept in the kitchen for her skincare method that she applies as a DIY “facial.”
Gypsy Rose “rose” to worldwide prominence when she was convicted of second-degree murder for the death of her mother Dee Dee Blanchard.
She subjected Gypsy-Rose to lifelong physical, mental, and medical abuse, so in 2016 she was sentenced to ten years in prison and was released in December 2023.
While there, she picked up several jailbird tricks to look her best on a small budget.
She revealed a unique way she took care of her skin behind bars in an Instagram Live on June 18.
Another Instagram user asked for her skincare routine and she happily divulged.
“You’re going to be shocked,” the 32-year-old said.
All she used were two kitchen buys to achieve a glowing appearance.
“I take a bottle of honey with me to the shower. I take two sugar cubes,” she said.
She added that she melts the sugar cubes in the shower with the heat but not to the point where they are completely dissolved.
Then, she rubs the sugar cubes on her face as an “exfoliant” and follows it up by rubbing honey all over her face.
“That is like an anti-inflammatory,” she explained.
She said she called it her “honey-sugar facial scrub.”
Honey deeply moisturizes and hydrates the skin, according to Gisou.
Not only is it a gentle exfoliant and pore cleanser, but it also has anti-aging benefits.

Dr. Anatalia Moore is a GP and skin specialist with over 11 years of clinical experience.
She told The U.S. Sun that her goal is to equip patients with the knowledge they need to take control of their skin journey.
She said the fundamental basics of a beauty routine are the same for all ages — it should include an effective cleanser, moisturizer, and SPF.
“Moisturizers are my superstar, even over products containing active ingredients,” she said.
“Finding a well-balanced moisturizer that provides the right kind of hydration, replaces natural oils, and seals them in, literally stabilizes your skin.
“This in itself quickly can soften the appearance of fine lines and texture, as often these are worsened by dehydration.
“It also allows the skin to function as it should.
“It then can heal faster, which, among many things, can lead to fewer lines and wrinkles, less flares of dermatitis and rosacea, and shorter-lived, milder breakouts.”
Dr. Moore’s skincare staples:
It “gives the skin a fresh, youthful glow and suppleness, making fine lines and wrinkles less noticeable.”
She admitted that she still does it to this day even after being released from prison.
Gypsy Rose recently announced that she’s expecting her first child with her boyfriend, Ken Urker, just four months after splitting from her husband.
The happy mom-to-be shared the news on Instagram, holding up photos of an ultrasound.
She shared a full nine-minute announcement video on YouTube.
The DIY beauty tip is organic, so she should be able to do it well into her pregnancy.
