People nowadays take extreme measures to have that youthful glow and perfect skin. In Hollywood, celebrities try different kinds of facial treatments that some find weird but swear it very effective. So, here are the five bizarre procedures that you can try if you are brave enough.
Foreskin Facial
Sandra Bullock woke up everyone's curiosity when she revealed on "Ellen" that she and another A-list actress Cate Blanchett tried foreskin treatment, a.k.a. "penis facial." The two Hollywood actresses sampled this weird facial treatment at a salon in New York.
Foreskin treatment involves the use of Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) serum. It is made of cells developed from newborn foreskins. This procedure helps to rejuvenate the skin and correct discoloration, per the South China Morning Post.
Bird Poop Facial
The 2012 Julia Robert movie "Mirror Mirror" introduced the bird poop facial. The Evil Queen used this method to attract a prince.
Bird poop facial includes the application of bird droppings on your face. Geishas used this weird beauty treatment dated back to 18th century Japan. The sanitized nightingale's droppings help to build a smooth white porcelain skin surface. Victoria Beckham and her husband, David Beckham, use this procedure.
Vampire/Blood Facial
There are some ways you can use your blood as a facial moisturizer. Hailey Baldwin's doctor creates a special cream with the use of her white blood cells to fight to age by reprogramming her skin.
Kim Kardashian, alternatively, uses a vampire facial treatment where the doctors get blood from her arms and inject the platelets on her face. This weird procedure helps to prevent wrinkles, and according to The Girl on TV, it causes a little pain.
Live Leech Facial
Another beauty treatment that involves blood is live leech facial. Miranda Keer patronizes this odd beauty procedure where leeches are attached on her face, sucks her blood, mix it with concoction, and smear it back on her face.
Live leech facial helps to give you a tighter and younger-looking skin. The snails' mucus has a strong mix of antioxidants, hyaluronic acid, and proteins that help to retain skin moisture. It also aids to soothe inflammation and can also exfoliate.
Bee Venom Facial
Bee venom facial, a.k.a. Apitherapy is a branch of alternative medicine that uses bee-made products like honey, pollen, propolis, royal jelly, and bee venom to cure different kinds of ailments. It can help ease rheumatism, migraines, stomach pains, and high blood cholesterol.
Now, bee venom is also used as a beauty treatment. Kate Middleton revealed that the secret to her glowing skin on her wedding day was this beauty treatment. Gwyneth Paltrow is also a fan of this procedure as it helps to get rid of inflammation and scarring.
But as it involves bee sting, you should be careful when you want to try this. Aside from the pain, some people are allergic to bees. So, you should ask your doctor first before undergoing this weird procedure.
