Extreme Beauty Treatments

Fish Food

In this beauty treatment, you feed the fish -- with your body! In spas around the world, you can dip your feet into a fish tank, then those fish eat the dead skin off of your feet. But some say it's pretty unhygienic. Concerns about bacteria in the water have resulted in fish treatment bans in certain areas. But if you don't mind swapping a little foot fungus for cleaner feet, take a dip.

Bee Venom

If snake venom sounds too dangerous, what about bee venom? Bee venom facials purportedly fill in wrinkles better than injections. In fact, Kate Middleton got one before she got married.

The Vampire Facial

This one is even more bizarre than the name suggests. Aestheticians use needles to suck blood out of your body. Then they inject that blood into your face. The blood is supposed to rejuvenate your skin.

Micro Needle Therapy

What does it feel like? Like sticking hundreds of tiny needles into your face. We imagine something between the pain of a tattoo and the discomfort of rubbing sandpaper over your face. But once you stop wincing, you're bound to look younger. So if you've got a high pain tolerance, maybe you should give it a try. A home needle kit costs right around $180.

Leeches

This one is straight out of the middle ages. Women -- like actress Demi Moore -- pay hundreds to have leeches suck a little blood out of your face. Apparently sucking blood out of your face makes it as youthful as injecting it in.

But these aren't just any leeches. Demi Moore calls them "highly trained medical leeches". We don't know what medical school these leeches go to. But it must be expensive.

Snake Venom

You're not really committed to beauty unless you're willing to dance with death. Snake venom may be dangerous but it's also great for your face. And by "great for your face" we means it paralyzes the muscles underneath it to keep you from forming wrinkles.

Whale Excrement

We've got a bit of bad news. You're probably already using this bizarre beauty treatment. Ambergris, or whale poop, is used in most high-end perfumes. Think about the last time you spritzed. That was the cool, refreshing feeling of something that came out of a whale's bottom.

Snail Cream

You know what's great for your face? Snail slime. The mucus that land snails secret from their undercarriages help cushion the road as they ooze along. It can also help protect your face from scarring, sun damage and wrinkles.

Gargle

This beauty treatment is free, freshens breath and keeps teeth healthy. Interested? Great! Now pee in a cup and gargle it. It's a beauty regimen used by Cleopatra, Julius Caesar and a long list of history pop quizzes. Those guys used imported Portuguese urine which was thought to be better than the usual stuff. But you can use home grown.

Getting Buttered Up

In Ethiopia, women rub butter all over their lady parts. Then they climb over a fire and smoke it like a salmon. Why? The practice is said to tighten things up.
Women often head for this spa treatment after they give birth. It's a relatively painless process. The butter is rubbed on cool. The smoke comes from holes in the ground to keep your parts a comfortable distance from the fire.
After the women are buttered, smoked and showered, their lady parts return to a more...youthful state.

Pig Placenta

Thirsty? How about a tall glass of pig placenta? It's full of vitamins, nutrients and minerals -- everything you need to look your best. The Japanese swear by this bloody, thick beverage.

Bull Sperm Conditioner

Want hair that looks like it belongs in a shampoo commercial? Rub bull sperm in it. It will purportedly give thick, shiny hair that grows at light speed. And there's no need to head out to your local farm to...get some. Several upscale retailers and salons offer the product. But it will cost you around $85 a treatment.

Rub It In

Sometimes drinking pig placenta just isn't enough placenta. If you want to get the full placental effect, you have to rub it in. Stars like Madonna, Jennifer Lopez and Eva Longoria habitually rub this stuff into their skin to look younger.

Ant Body Wash

Formic acid is great for beauty treatments. It clears up oily skin and speeds up your metabolism. How can you get those amazing benefits? By rubbing ants all over your body.

Ants are full of venom, pincers, legs and nightmares. But they're also full of formic acid. So some companies crush them up and put them in a body wash. The ants are ground fine enough so that you never see them. But we imagine it's pretty hard to ignore that they're there.

A Bird Poop Facial

How far would you go for baby soft, porcelain-white skin? In Japan, some women are willing to smear bird poop all over their faces. It's called, appropriately, "uguisu no fun". And it's a fine, white powder made from the poop of song birds. It's a little less gross than it sounds.
