Most bizzare face treatments you havent heard of

The desire for flawless skin is on the rise. We all crave and admire beauty. Ancient people used bizarre beauty treatments that they believed could offer eternal beauty and youth. According to statistics, the world skin care industry is growing annually by 5.3%. Increased attention to self-care and natural beauty is proof that our beauty industry will only grow. Apart from using special serums and masks, unique beauty treatments are currently in trend.

1. Snail facial treatment

Imagine feeling a slimy slug walking across your face. Now imagine you volunteered for this! If you're wondering why anyone would want a snail crawling on their face, snail mucin is a popular staple ingredient in Korean skin care products. Celebrities have tried the facial treatment and claimed it worked for them. So what's so good about snail mucin? The snail facial will regenerate skin cells, heal and repair the skin and boost collagen production while keeping your skin hydrated. Mucin is packed with powerful antioxidants, hyaluronic acid and protein. Snail face creams are said to be suitable for most skin types, especially dry skin.

2. Slap - Thai facial treatment

Would you pay a large amount of money to be slapped by a stranger? This bizarre 'Thai slap' for the face claims to treat the signs of aging, improve facial contours and increase blood circulation in the skin. Unfortunately, there is no science or studies that can support the effectiveness of facials. The therapist will gently start slapping your cheeks and then continue to hit you harder and harder.

3. It might be "fun" to try a bird poop facial

Gone are the days when people got annoyed if a bird unexpectedly pooped on them. Bird droppings are now a paid treatment. Yes, you read that right. People pay to put bird droppings on their faces. A strange Japanese treatment called "Uguisu no fun" uses nightingale secretions to whiten the skin and correct hyperpigmentation. This facial treatment was popular in ancient Japan, but has recently gained fame in Hollywood. Bird droppings are collected and processed to be mixed with a cream and applied to your skin.

4. Bizarre treatment from leeches

Leeches are tiny bloodsucking creatures found in fresh water all over the world. Most of you know that up until the 1800s, leeches were a popular medical treatment for drawing out "bad" blood. For a leech facial, the leeches are not actually applied to your face, but to another place on your body. The blood is then extracted from the leeches and reapplied to your skin as a mask. This extreme facial claims to increase skin elasticity, reduce signs of aging and leave you with fresh and glowing skin.

5. Unusual facial treatment with snake venom

If you've ever seen a western, you know about snake oil salesmen. It was a general term for a traveling quack who sold special 'tonics' that could cure anything. Snake oil (whatever that is) was a common ingredient. These toric potions with a "fizz" have now evolved to occupy a new place in the beauty industry. A snake bite can be deadly, but the face of that venom? That's for sure. Because it is made from a "synthetic venom derivative" and because the venom must be injected into the bloodstream to be toxic.
