Upper Lip Wrinkles

As people become more concerned about their appearance and desperately want to hide their real age, there’s no stopping them from trying out weird and wacky beauty rituals. Here is a sampling of the latest beauty regimens that prove that truth is stranger than fiction.

Feeling sad and gloomy because your boyfriend or girlfriend dumped you? Try a 24-karat gold facial to lift your spirits. First unveiled at Tokyo’s Beauty World 2007 Expo, this procedure was developed by the Chinese company Umosen and costs a hefty $300. Although the facial makes you look like an Egyptian mummy, users claim it’s good for the skin. You can get it in over 20 salons across Japan.

This may sound like a lot of bull but for £85, Hari’s Salon in London will make your hair more manageable with a bull semen conditioner. Touted as the Viagra for hair, this deep conditioning protein treatment is made of semen from the Aberdeen Angus bull mixed with the Iranian plant Katera.

“The bull semen promises to both strengthen and add shine to your hair. The masque is odorless, and is massaged into the hair and scalp and left on for 30 minutes. Then the product is rinsed out and your hair is styled as normal,” according to Amy White in AssociatedContent.com.

“It may make you feel better that this is organic semen from a pedigreed Angus bull, fresh from the farm and no bull is harmed in the production of this product. But even if this hair conditioner does deliver the promised long lasting shine, the ‘ick’ factor may be too great to ignore,” she added.

An Israeli health spa has a creepy, crawly new treatment for its numerous clients: snake massage. For $70, the masseur works on your body aided by six snakes. Don’t worry – the snakes aren’t poisonous but they’re guaranteed to give you a tingling sensation as they slither across your body.

“Ada Barak, who owns the spa, said the touch of snakes helps soothe joints and has therapeutic effects. She uses California and Florida king snakes, corn snakes, and milk snakes for her treatments,” said KNBC.com.

For those who work their butts off, they can find comfort at several spas in New York, Miami, and Los Angeles that offer unique butt facials. Boldly going where no man has gone before, these enterprising spas will prepare your fanny for that beach romp you’ve long planned. They’ll make your butt smooth and tight with a relaxing body scrub and rid it of acne, cellulite, and other skin problems with the help of microdermabrasion.

“For a mere $650 -$800 for a hour-long session, you can get a butt facial that spa owners promise will tighten, lift and tone the derrieres of clients who wear thongs or go au natural to the beach,” said Stone Martindale in MonstersandCritics.com.

“The derriere is an area that is often neglected, but people are concerned about keeping it in shape and there aren’t many other spa treatments that pay attention to this area,” according to Nicole Contos, owner of the Smooth Synergy Cosmedical Spa in New York City.
