Weird Beauty Treatments

Michelle Allan



I just couldn’t help myself from sharing my knowledge on these freaky beauty treatments with all you guys. Their quite disturbing really, well they weirded me out, for you that know me you know that’s saying a lot. I mean we have all heard of the old beauty treatments and products that historically have been used, like urine instead of bleach, Zink in face powder, etc. We have also all been told those disgusting old wives tails like period blood gets rid of pimples, and rubbing a used baby’s nappy will curl your hair, but seriously even if you believed them no one in their right mind actually tested it. But these treatments are new on the market, are being used by certain celebrities who will remain nameless, and cost an arm and a leg, literally.

The Nightingale Facial: This was first used by the geisha’s to keep their skin translucent and flawless. It involves bird poop being smeared all over you face in the hope that it will have some sort of effect other than making you vomit. Apparently it detoxifies at it dries, Nice!

The Buttial: We do love a good old facial, the normal sort, with a good cleansing, exfoliating, and a nice old mask. This treatment involves all of the above but it’s not for the cheeks on your face, no its for your bum.

The Leech: In this treatment you lay down and let hundreds of leeches suck your skin. They supposedly suck out all the toxins as well as your blood, and money. This detoxifies your body and leaves you a little woozy I would imagine.

The Beer Bath: This treatment is any man’s dream, a bath of beer. However the beer has to be warm and may have been bathed in by others, so you would have to be pretty desperate to drink it. Beer contains yeast which contains vitamins which help distress and purify your body.

The Noodle soup: This treatment speeds up your metabolic rate, helping lose weight and cleanses your body. All you have to do is lay in a bath of noodles, maybe the thought of eating after being immersed in food has an effect on the weight loss.

The Snake Massage: This is fairly self explanatory, in this treatment five to ten snakes slither all over your back. Supposedly they sooth aching muscles and help stiff joints, I must admit this one I would probably try.

The 24 Karat Gold Facial: Costs $300 for a half hour session, enough said!

The fish Pedicure: This one is pretty gross. During your pedicure you put your foot in to a tank for 10 minutes and some fish eat your dead skin. Saves on the itchy foot scrub I suppose.

The Nipple Bleach: Ouch, well we have all heard of the anal bleach, now there’s the nipple bleach. This is an idea from Japan where pink light coloured nipples are considered virginal.
