The 16 Weirdest Celebrity Beauty Secrets (Plasma, Wine Baths and More)

Kim Kardashian’s vampire facial

If you’re good at keeping up with the Kardashians, then you’ve probably seen Kim’s vampire facial. Although the microneedling treatment initially gave her a bloody face, she ultimately ended up with beautiful skin.

Hailey Baldwin’s blood-infused moisturizer

Speaking of blood, the model recently told Teen Vogue that her skincare routine is made up of products recommended by her dermatologist, Barbara Sturm, including the MC1 cream. Available only in Sturm’s clinics in Germany, the MC1 cream is made with the patient’s blood. Sturm draws the blood and puts it into a machine that spins it and separates the plasma from the blood. Then she puts the plasma into a skin lotion. Apparently blood cells produce proteins that can essentially heal our skin. Who knew?

Olivia Munn’s anti-aging Japanese potato diet

In case you need a reason to start eating potatoes (but, really, who does?), Olivia Munn’s perfect skin is enough. The actress credits the hyaluronic acid in Japanese potatoes for keeping her wrinkles at bay.

Demi Moore’s leech therapy

While some of us may cringe at the thought of being anywhere near leeches, Demi Moore gets up close and personal with them on the regular. Turns out leeches can detoxify the blood, which is said to be the reason for Demi’s youthful-looking skin.

Sandra Bullock’s Preparation H eye cream

While Preparation H can be a godsend for those with hemorrhoids, Sandra Bullock uses the cream to reduce puffy eyes (who knew?).

Catherine Zeta Jones’s Beer Conditioner

Catherine Zeta Jones douses her hair in a mixture of beer and honey to get her luscious locks. While her hair certainly looks great, she admits that it doesn’t smell that nice post-treatment.

Kate Hudson’s ice bath facial

Kate Hudson keeps her skin looking refreshed with just a bit of water… and a lot of ice. She dunks her face into ice water to rejuvenate a dull, tired complexion.

Gwyneth Paltrow’s bee-sting facial

Its appears that Gwyneth Paltrow believes that if there’s no pain, there’s no gain—at least when it comes to her beauty routine. She regularly goes for facials that involve bee stings, which surprisingly reduce inflammation and scarring.

Nicole Kidman’s cranberry juice rinse

Nicole Kidman has gone red a couple of times and she always looks great. The secret behind it? She rinses her hair in cranberry juice to enhance the colour.

Teri Hatcher’s red wine bath

Teri Hatcher’s love for red wine extends to her skincare routine. She frequently dumps a whole bottle of vino into her bath so her skin can absorb its antioxidants and nutrients.

Jessica Simpson’s fish pedicure

Once upon a time, Jessica Simpson had a show called “The Price of Beauty,” where she tried out a host of strange beauty regimens. One of the most notable ones was a fish pedicure for which the fish nibbled the dead skin off her feet (yuck).

Cindy Crawford’s DIY milk spray

If we should listen to any celebrity on anti-aging, it should be Cindy Crawford. Seriously, she just doesn’t age. Her alleged secret? Spraying a mixture of milk and water onto her face throughout the day.

Shailene Woodley’s teaspoon of clay

We know clay has many beautifying benefits, which is why we put it on our skin, but Shailene Woodley takes it one step further. She ingests a teaspoon of food-grade clay every day to help detox her body.

Madonna’s cupping therapy

Madonna is just one of the many celebrities who use cupping therapy, where cups are placed on the skin to create suction. It promotes blood flow and helps get rid of a slew of issues, including cellulite.

Victoria Beckham’s geisha facial

Victoria Beckham attributes her great skin to geisha facials, which feature nightingale droppings (eww). While the ingredients are certainly gross, we have to admit that, judging by her skin, the end result is pretty great.

Jennifer Lopez’s human placenta facial

Placenta is becoming quite the popular skincare ingredient and for good reason. Jennifer Lopez is allegedly on top of the trend and gets human placenta facials twice a week.
