In the quest for beauty, women will go to great lengths. As a style and beauty guru, I’ve always been curious about how bizarre beauty treatments can get. In this latest blog entry, I’ll let you in some of the outlandish treatments women try on to look their best.

• Fire facial—China’s flame facials are said to eliminate wrinkles and sagging of the skin. Aside from youthifying complexion and stimulating cell regeneration, fire facials can cure health conditions including obesity and common cold, a report says.

• Red wine bath--From China, we move to Japan wherein women are treated to an incredible red wine bath at the Yunessun Spa located in Hakone. Who would have thought that red wine isn’t only good for the heart, but also for the skin?

• Conditioning treatment made from bull sperm--Dubbed as the ‘Viagra for hair,’ the conditioning treatment is a protein-rich formula made from the semen of the Aberdeen Angus bulls and Katera root. Devotees swear by this product as it results to salon-smooth full-bodied locks

• Pee facial--It may seem gross, but pee facial may become the solution for your acne-ridden woes. Urea, a chemical compound found in urine, is said to have great effects on skin. Dip a wash cloth on your urine and apply it on your visage.

If some of these treatments creep you out, it may help to remind yourself of Emily Dickinson’s quote, “Beauty is not caused. It is.”
