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.

@fly:::'What is so horrifying about snails',Only a fly could say this ! Its not snails though,its snails-on-the-face that are horrific
What's so horrifying about snails? They are harmless and make wonderful ornamental displays on plant pots, except that they have such a hard time surviving, owing to bad press and unproven speculations. This is just another example of how some capitalists want to exploit some of nature's habitats.
