Body Treatments
Ever wondered how celebrities like to indulge? Here's a list of extreme and
slightly bizarre beauty treatments some of them use...
Placenta mix – Victoria Beckham and
Jennifer Lopez swear by sheep placenta
mixed with gold flakes (sounds expensive!)
to use as a face lift as it is readily absorbed
by the skin to stimulate the production of
collagen.
Leeches – Demi Moore lives on the
wild side and uses leeches on her face to
detoxify the skin and make it glow.
Snake venom – Almost like botox but
instead of injecting snake venom into
the skin, it is massaged into it. Used by
Gwyneth Paltrow, it is said to relax the
muscles and reduce the formation of
wrinkles.

Fish pedicures – this one is becoming
quite common but Jessica Simpson enjoys
soaking her feet in a pool of toothless fish
which eat the dead skin cells and resulting
in a polished pedicure.
Bubble bath – Teri Hatcher enjoys
adding a glass of wine to her bath to make
the skin soft, this one we could actually do!
Geisha Facial – Also known as:
Nightingale Poo Facial, Tom Cruise takes
part in this interesting treatment in an
attempt to reduce wrinkles.
Caviar facial – This delicacy can now be
rubbed on your face, Angelina Jolie rubs
fish eggs on her face which have a high oil
content to create a super moisturiser and
they also get rid of stretch marks.
Haemorrhoid cream (which is for
painful veins in the bum) – is used by
Sandra Bullock to remove those dark
circles from under your eyes; a better
option is to get a good sleep.
Diamonds and ruby peel –
these gorgeous stones also work as
antioxidants, Mila Kunis uses these to get
that beautiful youthful glow of hers, if only
we were all able to roll around them!
