#11 Conditioning Hair Using Avocado
Avocados are great beauty fruits for the mono-saturated fats they contain. Those fats are good for eating and applying on your skin. Nevertheless, that was not enough for Denise Richards. She discovered that she could also use avocados for giving her hair that shiny healthy looking. That sounds somehow normal, though I wonder how she manages to wash away avocados’ flesh from her hair!

#10 Curing Pimples Using Toothpaste
This trick has been so trendy on Pinterest, and many promised that it works like magic, including Jennifer Love Hewitt. Unfortunately, it does not work! On the contrary, it may irritate your skin. While menthol may cause itching, fluoride can cause further acne to form. So next time you see this pin on Pinterest, skip it for the sake of your skin, just keep your toothpaste solely for your teeth.

Shea butter contains five essential fatty acids which work great for curing cracked feet. According to experts, diaper rash creams also moisturize dry skin and cures inflammation, which makes it a good choice for dry skin. Besides, it is for baby’s sensitive skin, making it safe for adults, too.
#8 Dousing your Hair in Beer
There are many hair products in the market for washing away all the dirt and hair products that accumulate on your hair. One homemade remedy is to use vinegar for washing your hair. However, Catherine Zeta-Jones prefers using beer. Beer contains alcohol that effectively removes any hair products buildup that sit on the surface of your hair. All you need is to towel dry your hair, and then wash your hair with a cup of beer, then rinse. You will get clean shiny hair without spending $$$$.

#7 24 Carat Gold Face Mask
If it is weird, celebrities love it! If it is expensive, celebrities will for sure go for it! A Japanese company found a way to spread a 24-carat gold mask on the faces of those who are willing to pay $250+. This expensive mask regenerates your skin quicker, leaving your skin firmer in just one hour! Well, that is a superior fast result for a facial, and it has become a trendy treatment in many spas around the world. I wonder what could be next. A diamond body scrub?!

#5 Using Kitty Litter to Exfoliate
Skin care specialists found that exfoliation is the key for fighting the formation of wrinkles on your face. Using fine particles like sugar, you can get rid of all dead skin, stimulate the blood circular motion and give your skin a youthful look. However, Snooki uses kitty litter for exfoliation, forgetting the fact that the large particles can “cause micro scratches, which can lead to inflammation and blotchiness,” according to Lezandra Berchik, an esthetician at Bliss Spa Los Angeles.
#4 Earthworm Poop Wrinkle Cream
Apparently, even earthworms poop! That is normal, but what is beyond normal is using that poop in a wrinkle cream that ,not only reduces and reverses the signs of aging, wrinkles and fine lines but also helps cure eczema and psoriasis!
#3 Bloody Vampire Facial
For Kim Kardashian, spending $2,200 a week on her face was not enough. Inspired by the Walking Dead and Vampires she decided to try the blood facial in an attempt to reverse time and get the youthful appearance for as long as possible. Using her own blood, she was injected using 9 acupuncture-like needles. Was it painful? Very much! Should you try this at home? You should NOT!
#2 Leech Therapy
If all above is not weird enough, wait until you see a leech biting someone’s face! This weird treatment had been used for centuries for detoxifying the body, by making use of an enzyme that is released into the bloodstream as the leech bites into your skin. Demi Moore is using this process for detoxifying her body. Others also use it for removing bruising and dark circles under the eyes.
#1 Bull Semen Hair Treatment
If kitty litter and leeches are not crazy enough, wait until I tell you about this one! London salons have started using a new magnificent, I call it disgusting, the method for hair treatment, that includes bull semen and a rare plant from Iran. This mixture is believed to strengthen and repair hair.
It looks like drinking water, sleeping well, moisturizing daily, using sunscreen and eating well for some people is not enough. They want that youthful look after their sixties, and they are willing to do and pay whatever it costs to look younger. Even if that would cost them dangerous side-effects that are not reversible. Let’s face the truth, no one wishes to grow old, no one wishes to see those ugly wrinkles on their faces, but does that give us the right to try weird methods to achieve our dreams?!
Whether these methods are right or wrong, it is your own choice to try or skip, but for many others, they will always be looking for the beauty elixir. Will they succeed? Let us hope so!
