Shocking beauty treatments

From the tapeworm diet to the vampire facial, these bizarre treatments are said to beautify skin.

NEW YORK: Women lay so much emphasis on their appearance that sometimes they try bizarre treatments like snail facial.

Huffingtonpost.com shares a list of horrifying beauty treatments and products:

The tapeworm diet: It was first advertised in the early 1900s as a way to lose weight, while still eating what your want. But it comes with health risks like meningitis and epilepsy. It's now banned in the US.

The vampire facial: The face mask is made from your own blood! Next step is laser treatment and then micro-needling.

The Siberian snail facial: It is believed that snail slime is the secret to beautiful skin.

The facewaver exercise mask: The Japanese product is said to be helpful in stretching and tightening the face and cheeks. This helps to do away with anti-ageing signs like wrinkles. All you need to do is sing while wearing the mask for five minutes.
