Everyone wants to look good. While some don?t go beyond the basic cleansers and creams, some tend to take an extra step to look their best. Sometimes these steps are ridiculously and weirdly bewildering as they include using totally strange & wacky products that have somehow ventured into the beauty industry. You will be amazed to know that some of these are actually effective.

Prepare to be paralyzed with astonishment. Readers beware! This content is not for the faint-hearted. Proceed at your own will.

Let?s start with things that are simple (comparatively),

  1. Donkey Milk sleeping mask – Donkey milk is scientifically proven to be beneficial for skin. (I do not know how and where they researched it.) This cream supposedly nourishes skin, whitens it and give it a healthy look. Click here to have a look or buy.
  1. Lanolin Creams?– Now this one can be classified as less creepy. The cream mostly comprises of lanolin oil extracted from the wool of sheep. The cream is known for its amazing moisturizing properties. Buy this less creepy cream here.
  1. Pig Collagen jelly cream?– For those of you who don’t know what pig collagen is, it is a protein found in connective tissues found on the skin of pigs. This bizarre jelly cream promises to keep wrinkles away as it has properties that increase skin elasticity. Check this product out.

Moving on to the weird territory,

  1. Snake venom cream?– This cream claims to reverse signs of aging as it penetrates skin cells. And classy as it sounds, the cream actually has snake venom in it. Meanwhile, here I am wondering. Wasn?t venom supposed to be synonymous with poison? Click here, if you are into this product.

Moving on.

  1. Bee venom cream?– What is it with these creators and venoms? (I call them creators because you’ll need wild amounts of ?creativity? to think of these ingredients) Applying bee venom to your face seems scary. But the creators of this product assure us that bee venom cream stimulates collagen production. Gwyneth Paltrow and Kate Middleton are known to use products based on this ingredient.

  1. Bird Poop facial?– Who wouldn’t want a nice relaxing bird poop facial? Now don’t give me that look. Who knows? This might soon be the norm as this facial promises to make your face glow. Order here to have a bird poop facial at home.
  1. Oyster shell cream?– Why would you want to use boring creams when you can have pearl shell creams? Fun fact: Pearl shell creams were used since the time of Ming dynasty which ruled China during 14th-17th centuries. We didn’t know, that’s all. I?m sure it?s normal to use Oyster shell creams. Hush! If it was fit for the queens of the Ming Dynasty, we modern-day queens should give it a go. Rule the world by ordering it here.

  1. Caviar cream?– Caviar is a delicacy containing salted fish eggs. Okay, now here is a beauty product made from something which people actually eat. (Sigh of relief) And it is tremendously expensive. Wait! Why would we want to put fish eggs on our faces? Because these creams claim to be “fountains of youth” and experts say that caviar creams regenerate dead skin cells and gives?the highest possible hydration. That does sound cool though. Take a peek.
  1. Leech cream?– Oh, Don’t be disgusted! We have so much more in store for you. Now this cream made out of leech extracts (do they grind leeches for this?), is used to heal damaged skin.
  1. Urea cream?– I know what you are thinking. Is it made from urine? Well, Yeah. But don’t worry. This urine is synthetically produced. Good news, Right? It is!! (reassuring myself)

What does this do to our skin? It moisturizes and softens dry and hard skin. Try having a look.

Hold your breath… take a break for now. We are going to unveil even more unusual, strange, shocking beauty products.

Let the countdown begin.

  1. Stem cell creams?– What’s a stem cell? Stem cells are different from other cells as they have the ability to become any cell that does a specific function. They have an amazing capacity to regenerate which can be used in creams to stimulate regeneration or skin cell growth. Stem cells used in beauty products are mostly derived from plants as taking stem cells from human embryos is banned. Now that is a unique cream. Click to view.

Let?s get the most bizarre products done with.

  1. Blood creams – This is an actual product and we are not joking. As if the Vampire obsession wasn?t enough, we even have vampiric creams based on blood. The cream made from human blood is the latest craze for celebrities. Created by Dr. Barbara Sturn, a tub of MC1 Creams (that’s what they’re called), cost approximately Eighty-five thousand rupees. That is a lot! This is a reminder that these wacky crazy stuff are often reserved for the rich and the elite. (I’m going to go cleanse myself with water. Plain, cold, refreshing water. Why? Because it’s free.)

Fun fact: Countess Elizabeth Bathory is labeled as “The Blood Countess” and is the most prolific female murderer. There are tales that attribute vampire like tendencies to her as it was said that she bathed in the blood of virgins to retain her youth. I wouldn’t be surprised if Dr. Barbara had actually drawn inspiration from the above tale.

  1. Breast milk cream?– Shoo normal milk creams away! Breast milk is here! You might wonder if this is some kind of fetish. How can something like this be legit? Apparently, breast milk clears acne and has anti-bacterial properties.

  1. Placenta cream?– If you are not disgusted yet, good for you. Placenta creams contain placenta from cattle or sheep. These creams are mostly formulated with additional ingredients. We even have an Indianized product for hair. Hask Henna N Placenta offers to condition your hair making it softer than before. Click here to buy.
