THE GEISHA FACIAL
Call this freaky
but I bet you the worst is yet to come. Even for the fact
that this facial does have a background and history in traditional Japanese
beauty; it’s also pretty darn gross. Developed by a New York facialist (yes, that’s a
word), the Geisha Facial incorporates a variety of natural and traditional
beauty products. These products, which are said to ‘unlock the secrets of
Geisha beauty’ supposedly brighten, soften and nourish the skin. The only catch! The main ingredient used in the Geisha
Facial is powdered nightingale droppings. Lol!! Let me give you a moment to
re-read, digest and translate that…..

Did you just do that? Ok great. Yes, you’re absolutely
right: a powdered nightingale dropping is code for bird poop. Jeez!!

Now if this has you running for the hills, hang around
for just a minute. Because while rubbing bird poop on your face isn’t normally
high on most people’s to-do list, (hold on, honey, I just need to catch that bird
poo … with my face) it does have many reported benefits. And apparently, it’s
totally sanitary.

According to the Shizuku New York Day Spa, the bird
droppings used in the Geisha Facial are first exposed to ultraviolet light and
then crushed into a fine powder in order to effectively sanitize them. To mask
the poopy smell, rice bran is mixed in with the powder.

The result? This treatment gives a glowing and beautiful skin. Victoria Beckham is a long-time
supporter of the bird poop facial and swears that it helps prevent acne. This
must have you throwing up by now I guess?

Well …I suppose it depends on how badly you want
radiant skin as to whether or not this treatment is worth it, because at the
end of the day, ultraviolet sanitization or not, it’s still bird poop on your
face. Lol!!!!

THE ANTI-AGING SNAIL MASQUE
Let’s explore this second option which to me
doesn’t seem too bad as the previous one, well that’s just me. If you’ve
managed to get your mind off the first one then let’s shoot for this one and
see some facts in it. The Anti-Aging Snail Masque that was
unintentionally discovered by a group of Chilean farmers; works
under the premise that by adding snail slime (also known as ‘mucin’) to creams and
lotions you are able to boost skin health and promote rapid healing.

This slime is said to prevent and treat acne, aid in
the reduction of wrinkles, decrease inflammation, protect against any
infections and boost cell growth. Pretty massive claims for a dab of snail
slime right? Wait for more…..

According to the experts, the addition of snail mucin
to beauty products actually makes sense. As part of their natural day-to-day
life, snails move over the top of sharp rocks, twigs and unstable surfaces. To
protect themselves, snails excrete mucin to rapidly heal their bodies from any
cuts or injuries. When this substance is added to human beauty products, it is
believed to offer the same benefits to humans. Now that’s totally amazing
right?

And if you have an image of Chilean farmers rubbing
snails on each other’s faces, this is how the discovery really happened: while
harvesting snails for use as escargot, they noticed that any cuts or injuries
they had were quickly healed. Their hands were also smoother and softer than
ever after a snail harvesting. You can now see why I said it was
unintentionally discovered, but for some reason currently unknown this was
banned in Canada, but don’t get the wrong impression though because there’s no
report of bad side effects.

HIRUDOTHERAPY
This is disgusting, this dirty looking, terrifying
creature also works for facials? Hell no. but it does my dear, it absolutely
does. How is that possible, and how can one apply this?

Good question; the fact that this creature sucks blood
is it safe to even play around with it let alone putting it on my face all the
name of facial masking or treatment? Well we’d look at the reasons(s) why
researchers or beauticians recommends this method for facial masking at first.

comeback from our Russian friends.

The idea is simple. For beautiful, radiant skin just
plop a few therapeutic leeches onto the face. Yes. Leeches. But don’t be
afraid; they’re not the garden-variety leeches you’d normally find in your
backyard (that’s if you have leeches in your backyard by the way). They’re trained
therapeutic leeches.

Said to slow down visible signs of aging as well as
promote healthy-looking skin, leech therapy was particularly favored by
Japanese Geishas (yikes, I guess I’d say those women were exceptionally brave)
and traditional French women.

Leech therapy is also believed to purify the blood, as
well as detoxify and rejuvenate the body. According to the leech experts, leeches
contain (within their salivary glands) proteins, serotonin, collagenase,
hirudin and hylauronidase, all of which are common ingredients in our modern
skincare products. They also have natural steroid hormones and fatty acids,
which work to promote healthy skin.

I guess with those benefits, the only downside of this
treatment is that you have to let leeches suck at your blood and slither all
over your skin. And remember if you’re indulging in a little leech therapy,
don’t forget to ask for them to be applied behind your ears. This way, your
hair can hide their bite marks.

THE VAMPIRE FACIAL
The topics seem weird? Well! Wait for it, just when
you thought you’ve read the worst of it all, there seem to be more that are
scary. I’ll say this one is off the hook but I’m not too sure you’d agree on
that because the next one is even out of this world.

Lets quickly look into how this facial actually works.
This treatment which involves taking around three vials of your blood from your
arm and then putting it into a machine to separate the blood into different
elements. The platelet-rich component is then injected back into the skin on
your face. it might interest you to know that Kim Kardashian uses this method

What’s the advantages? You don’t need to get it that
often, and it’s apparently a miracle worker.
often, and it’s apparently a miracle worker.
Disadvantages? You could start with the fact that your
blood is first taken from your arm and then painfully re-injected back into
your skin. There’s a minor point that this treatment has yet to be
scientifically proven. Then, you could start thinking about the fact that
following the treatment the bruising on your face will make you look like
you’ve stepped in front of a bus, but besides that? You can surely, have a go
ahead.

SPERM FACIAL
This seem to be the second to last on this topic of
weird facials but the sub-heading must have raised your eyebrows suddenly,
leaving you to wonder what in the name of God is this gonna be about. Sperm facial? I’m sure you are as curious as
me when I first saw this, i almost jumped into conclusion as to how the method
works or the processing, but i guess i was almost wrong.

Let’s clarify a few things. Firstly, this is a
legitimate spa treatment. Get what I’m saying? There is no, uh, unprofessional
application of sperm. And secondly, apparently the sperm is synthesized in a
lab, so you’re not actually applying some guy’s spunk to your face.

The technical term for this facial is called the
‘Spermine facial’. Which almost sounds like ‘spearmint’ but it’s definitely not
spearmint. It’s spermine.

The good news is that the ‘spermine’ facial is supposed

skin.

Spermine, an ingredient found in sperm, is apparently
loaded up with stacks of antioxidants. It is also meant to have more than ‘25
times the cellular protection of vitamin E’

Now, while it might sound a little weird to pay to
have spermine (synthesized or otherwise) slathered onto your face, this
treatment is actually pretty pricey. Expect to pay up to $250.00 which is about
#50,000 a pop, going by the current exchange rate.

THE CHOCOLATE FACIAL
I wouldn’t consider this as too weird; maybe I would
rather say I intentionally saved this for last to help relieve you of the so
bizarre ones. Some beauty therapists claim that the chocolate facial will
reduce the visible signs of aging, increase the softness and smoothness of your
face and boost your mood.

While it hasn’t been entirely proven that a chocolate
facial benefits the skin (whatever), it is well known that chocolate contains
an abundance of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals such as iron, potassium and
magnesium.
