Jodie Turner-Smith: Breast Milk Skincare

"Ever since I had my baby, my current beauty secret is that I put breast milk in all of my face serums," Turner-Smith shared with British Vogue. "My skin is very sensitive, so I use a light cleanser, and then I put on a serum with aloe and breast milk that I literally squeeze right into my hands from my boob. I think it's the lactic acid. I've just found that the milk has been revolutionary."

Blanchett refers to this, er, unique treatment as the penis facial (which she says Sandra Bullock introduced her to) but its more officially known as the Hollywood EGF Facial. "The foreskin is collected during circumcision and the stem cells are then harvested and extracted through a centrifuge," Georgia Louise, the facialist behind the treatment toldThe Hollywood Reporter. "I am always very mindful to explain radical serums and potions that I carry in my back bar, so I always explain that EGF is derived from newborn baby foreskin, but cells were taken and from that, new cells are cloned from a laboratory."

Kardashian Wests infamous blood-covered selfie caused quite the stir back in 2013, but it seems she didnt deem the vampire facial (a treatment where your own blood is spun in a centrifuge to extract the plasma within and then re-applied to your face) worth the pain, admitting that the treatment wasnt for her understandable considering her pregnancy meant painkillers were out of the question.

Unique beauty endeavours arent anything new in Paltrows case but this one has to be the most extreme yet. "I've been stung by bees. It's a thousands of years old treatment called apitherapy. People use it to get rid of inflammation and scarring. It's actually pretty incredible if you research it," she told The New York Times.

"I'm using this amazing snail [essence], yes, snail..." Ratajkowski recently revealed via social media. But while it may sound a little freaky, it certainly isnt fruitless snail mucin is a natural source of hyaluronic acid and has the ability to soothe, repair and diminish a variety of skin issues from dryness and breakouts to pigmentation.

The face and the rear end are two areas people generally like to keep pretty separate, but Bullock says the key to fighting crows feet lies in hemorrhoid care. "My favourite beauty pageant secret: I didn't realise that putting hemorrhoid ointment on your face is acceptable in the beauty business," Bullockshared back in her Miss Congeniality days. "But apparently butt cream does help lines around the eyes."

Lopez always looks a million bucks, which is fitting considering how much she invests in her complexion. In fact, its alleged that she spends approximately $1,200 per week on a texture-refining facial treatment that involves the skin-smoothing abilities of human placenta.

It might sound a little more glamorous than Lopezs placenta-centric option but the price tag is also a lot higher; yes, indeed, Kunis shelled out $7,000 for a sole precious stone treatment that uses diamonds and rubies to enhance radiance. We hope her skin was shining just as brightly as the stones after that cash splash.

Moore relies on medical leeches to keep her complexion looking tight, firm and youthful. "I feel like I've always been someone looking for the cutting edge of things that optimise your health and healing," she toldDavid Letterman in 2008. "I was in Austria doing a cleanse and part of the treatment was leech therapy. These aren't just swamp leeches thoughwe are talking about highly trained medical leeches. These are not some low level scavengerswe're talking high level blood suckers."

Beckhams topical treatment of choice? One composed of nightingale droppings. But while experts do claim that the brightening and exfoliating abilities are impressive, were simply not sure we can stomach this one. However, Beckhams perennial glow may just be enough to get us on board...
