Yes, you think, if I went to the extremes of beauty treatments celebrities do, I would look hot too. Very hot. Consider the evidence of the bizzare cult of beauty in Hollywood, and choose which treatments you will be ordering up at your local spa.
Gwyneth Paltrow arrived at a film premiere with a definite pattern of circular welts along her spine and the paparazzi went nuts. Next thing you know, the world was informed about the practice of cupping, an ancient Asian practice supposed to stimulate circulation.
Glass cups are placed against the skin then lit with a flame. This creates a powerful suction which leaves a series of circular welts along the spine.
Eva Longoria and Madonna are apparently putting human placenta on their faces to get a "baby-faced" look. EMK Placental is the name of the product with real human placenta in the skin care cream. It is supposed to have natural antioxidants, proteins and amino acids that encourage skin tissue growth and repair.
And we all know Demi Moore looks great and really should never have to worry about her younger man's attention straying, so why is she traveling to Austria to let leeches "detoxify" her?
The 46-year-old revealed her bizarre beauty treatment on the David Letterman show , explaining that she'd recently returned from Austria where she underwent a blood-sucking session from "highly trained medical leeches". Who trains them we wonder.
Demi says the treatment involves a full-body shave followed by a relaxing soak in a bath full of turpentine. After that you apply the leeches to your skin and let them work their magic.
"It detoxifies your blood - I'm feeling very detoxified right now," she told a bewildered David Letterman.
Poor Gwyneth Paltrow. The tabloids won't leave her alone with her beauty secrets. She is now reported to have been seen buying synthetic snake venon at $185 an ounce. It is supposed to inhibit the contraction of your facial muscles to prevent wrinkles. Debra Messing is rumored to be a fan too.
The tabloids say Angelina Jolie has been rubbing caviar into her skin to stay looking young. She is coping with post-pregnancy weight loss wrinkles, say the papers, with $200 a time beauty treatments made from eggs of the Baerli sturgeon, reared, don't you just know, in the South of France.
The treatment can last up to three hours. The actress is wrapped up in tight bandages so that her body sweats out the toxins before the youth-restoring body cream is applied. The high protein and oil content of the caviar is believed to do the trick.
Halle Berry allegedly mixes coffee grinds into her body wash to keep her fanny looking smooth and firm. One expert says that theoretically this could work. Caffeine is a stimulant and a diuretic and increases blood flow when applied to the skin, thus detoxifying and breaking up cellulite.
