The most disgusting cosmetic procedures

How far is a person ready to go in search of a perfect appearance? It is not in vain that they say that beauty requires sacrifice, and sometimes, to be proud of one's own reflection in the mirror, one has to do very unpleasant things. Here top 7 most disgusting cosmetic proceduresthat people exposed themselves in the name of beauty.

7. A bath full of eels

Our selection opens with a slimy way to make skin soft and radiant. In China, bathtubs filled with many tiny blackheads are popular. Snake-shaped creatures cling to the body, and eat dead skin particles. After such a bath, the skin of even mature people looks like in youth.

6. Radiation therapy

In the 30s of the 20th century, radium and thorium were added to face creams, powder, and even soap. Those who wanted to show off their radiant teeth were offered radioactive toothpaste. It was believed that small doses of radium would "stimulate the basic functions of living cells" and restore vital energy.

The disadvantage of these radioactive products was that they caused a huge number of health problems. The most harmless of them was hair loss. Those who worked with radiation developed bone necrosis and incurable cancers. This quickly put an end to the raptures regarding cosmetic radioactive products.

5. Lead, arsenic, and mercury

Nowadays, tanning shows that you have enough money to spend leisure time on the beach. However, there were times when a tan was considered a sign of a commoner (due to the need to work outdoors), and there was an aristocratic pallor in fashion. And to make the skin of the face as light as possible, ladies in ancient Greece used white lead. Problems with such cosmetics were already known then. Lead corroded the skin and, in order to hide it, had to apply even more white on the face. Lead also causes aggression, headaches, vomiting, cramps, and eventually death. Lead white was popular in the 16-17th centuries. They were actively used by the English Queen Elizabeth I. Presumably, her death occurred due to lead poisoning of the body.

In the 19th century, those who wanted to get rid of age spots, freckles and other skin problems could get arsenic lotion, which was supposed to effectively cleanse the skin. There were analogues of the lotion, intended for oral use. An overdose of arsenic leads to bloody vomiting, hair loss, diarrhea, and convulsions. But at least it will not be up to freckles.

Modern skin lightening products as well as mascara often contain mercury, an element that can cause kidney problems and many other terrible side effects. Therefore, when buying cosmetics, you need to carefully read the composition.

4. Tapeworm diet

Tapeworm diet, the most dangerous diet in the world. If you burn more calories than you consume, your weight is reduced. But many people can’t force themselves to eat less. How to burn calories in another way? Squeeze into the intestines of a not too friendly neighbor, tapeworm. This worm will feed on environmental products, and will grow instead of your waist. The presence of this parasite in the body can cause not only loss of weight and appetite, but also pain, diarrhea, anorexia, diffuse cysts, convulsions and, in some cases, death. Is this not one of the most disgusting and dangerous ways to become slim and beautiful?

3. Snail massage

For this procedure, live snails are used (not anyhow, but Akhatina gigantic), which are sent to "walk" in the face. The mucous trail left by them helps combat the signs of aging. It is believed that such a massage can reduce traces of scars, acne and stretch marks.

Those who cannot come to terms with the idea that a snail will crawl across their face can buy creams containing snail mucus.

2. Bull sperm

One of the most disgusting cosmetic procedures in our ranking is associated with the use of a mask or hair conditioner containing bovine sperm. It has a lot of protein, so the hair after such "spermotherapy" becomes surprisingly soft and strong. So if you see products containing the coquettish abbreviation BSP (bovine seminal plasma), you know what they contain. True, sperm freezes before use and does not smell.

1. Foreskin for face care

Surely you heard the common expression "smooth, like the ass of a baby." Some cosmetic companies took this cliché and found practical use for it. Using the foreskin left after the circumcision of the boys, they turned it into money. And this is worthy to lead our hit parade of strange and nasty ways to preserve beauty.

The foreskin contains stem cells (fibroblasts) that cannot be grown for the needs of the cosmetics industry in sufficient quantities in the laboratory.

Fibroblasts strengthen the structure of the skin, and those who used creams containing foreskin cells claim to have discovered positive changes in their appearance.
