Exploring the Bizarre and Fascinating Realm of Age-Defying Therapies
Anti-aging skincare is really popular these days because everyone wants to look young and beautiful forever. But how far would you go for youthful, radiant skin? Here are some truly bizarre anti-aging treatments to consider.
Cryogenic freezing chambers, with temperatures of minus-200 degrees, are said to keep skin young by boosting metabolism, burning calories, fighting cellulite, and increasing collagen production. Demi Moore and Daniel Craig are fans of this treatment.
Kim Kardashian popularized the vampire facial, which involves drawing some of your blood and re-injecting it into your face to remove fine lines and wrinkles.
Then there’s the sheep placenta facial, which is packed with nutrients and offers a 30-day boost of glowing skin. Researchers are exploring stem cell treatments too, which might explain the focus on sheep placentas for now.
For those not allergic to bees, the bee venom facial is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, helping to firm the skin and reduce puffiness. This treatment can now even be done at home, though it comes at a price. Victoria Beckham and the Minogue sisters are reported to love it.
Another strange treatment is the bird poop facial, which started as a way for geishas to remove heavy makeup using nightingale poop. The enzymes in the poop cleanse the skin and remove old cells. Modern versions use dried, powdered, and sterilized nightingale feces, making it a bit less off-putting.
Leeches are making a comeback from medieval times, now used in some places to purify blood and revitalize the skin for their age-reversal benefits. Demi Moore is reportedly a fan of this as well.
Finally, using your own urine for a morning facial is said to be beneficial due to the nutrients it contains, which can help with skin hyperpigmentation and discoloration. However, it does involve peeing on your face, which isn’t for everyone.
These treatments show how far people are willing to go for a youthful appearance. How far would you go?
