The weirdest beauty routines celebrities swear by

When it comes to beauty, many of us are willing to try anything, but these celebrities take it to the next level. While some may stick to expensive creams and facials, others take it to the extreme.

Today, we'll let you sneak a peek into the weird world of famous people. Let's start by exploring different celebrities and their beauty treatments and secrets uncovered:

Victoria Beckham

Victoria Beckham, also known as Posh Spice, has tried many beauty treatments. She has had a long battle with skin problems, for which she appears to have found a solution—the "Geisha Facial." This luxurious skincare treatment uses powdered nightingale droppings to brighten and soften the skin.

The Spice Girl was inspired by this unique cultural practice after visiting the country some time ago. A person close to Beckham revealed:

"When Victoria was in Japan, she was admiring the local women's skin and discovered it was down to these facials. She was intrigued, and upon her arrival back in the US, she found that some of the salons in New York are now offering the treatment".

Rumour has it that her husband David joined the skincare routine. Although the idea of putting bird droppings on your face may sound disgusting, it is a popular treatment among the elites in Hollywood.

Gwyneth Paltrow

Known for her love of alternative treatments, Gwyneth Paltrow experimented with bee venom therapy. This treatment involves getting intentionally stung by bees to reduce inflammation and promote collagen production.

New York dermatologist Jeanette Graf, M.D., said, "Rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, skin lesions and hives are all conditions that may benefit from bee stings."

Paltrow believes in it, although experts gave warnings of severe allergic reactions. There are bee-related health benefits, like honey, royal jelly and pollen. Bee venom is more of a mystery, so discuss it with your doctor before you get stung.

Homoeopaths have used live bees placed on tender areas of the body or acupuncture points for centuries to treat a range of skin conditions. Now, the venom can be stored for injections, and the area can also be numbed beforehand. Homeopaths and Paltrow are still the biggest advocates of apitherapy.

Tom Cruise

The movie star is known for his youthful looks, and apparently, one of his secrets lies in a facial treatment made from bird saliva and droppings. This unusual anti-ageing remedy, originally from China, boosts skin hydration and elasticity. The facial involves mixing saliva and droppings with rice bran and water.

A source said, “Tom doesn’t go in for Botox or surgery, but he does pay close attention to all the new natural treatments.” Cruise recently started experimenting with this facial treatment after a close friend recommended it, and the results have been fantastic.

Tom does not see splashing out on the facials as him being weird. In fact, he points out there are treatments for strangers out there. He is proud of himself for avoiding the temptations of plastic surgery as he gets older. So, if you are willing to spend a fortune on skincare, bird spit could be your next big beauty investment.

Demi Moore

Demi Moore takes detoxing to an extreme level with her leech therapy. This strange treatment involves using live leeches to suck out toxins from your blood. Moore claims it helps with circulation and overall well-being.

Moore said the treatment is uncomfortable, but focusing on breathing helps you get past the pain. Moore mentioned:

"They start in a spot that is uncomfortable for me, my belly button. They crawl in, and you feel it bite down on you, and then you must sit and watch the leech swell up and get fatter, and then when the leech is super drunk on your blood, it just rolls over."

Leeches are fussy as they don't like hair, so if you are hairy, be prepared to do some shaving or waxing.

It may sound crazy, but leeches do have a place in modern medicine. In 2004, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gave the go-ahead for commercially marketing leeches for medicinal purposes.

Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey loves luxury, and her beauty routine is no exception. The music diva soaks herself in milk to help moisturise her skin. Carey also reportedly loves a champagne bath every now and again.

While soaking in bubbly might sound glamorous, experts claim it has no real skincare benefits. Carey also banned her make-up artists from applying any mascara on her, and she loves her beauty sleep.

So, a combination of milk baths, a good night's sleep, and carefully applied makeup is the secret to looking years younger.

Hailey Bieber

Hailey Bieber, a prominent figure in the beauty and fashion world, is known for her radiant skin and her strange approach to skincare. Also known as the “Vampire Facial,” Bieber uses blood moisturiser to promote collagen production and reduce fine lines.

The idea of using blood in skincare is a growing trend in the beauty industry towards personalisation and using the body’s resources to improve your skin health. This process involves drawing a small amount of blood, separating the plasma and then injecting it back into the skin.

The effectiveness of the blood moisturiser is based on the science of PRP therapy, and it has been used in various medical and cosmetic procedures. However, when it comes to the topical application, the efficacy is less clear.

What is the latest beauty craze in Hollywood?

Snail slime facials have gained popularity in Hollywood, with celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Katie Holmes trying this slimy treatment. It may seem like the latest fashion trend—skincare that contains snail slime might surely sound crazy—but this clever ingredient is a Korean beauty favourite.

The mucous from snails contains collagen, glycolic acid and elastin, which helps with hydration and skin repair. Many claim that it really works wonders for a youthful glow. Give it a try if you struggle with dry, sensitive skin that is prone to breakout.

These are more than just some weird habits of celebrities. Beauty comes at a price, and for these celebrities, that price often includes bizarre and extreme treatments.

While some of these beauty trends sound insane, they have devoted followers who swear by them. Whether it's traditional skincare or exploring the weird side of beauty, one thing is clear: celebrities will do anything to maintain their looks.
