More beauty fads

From placenta to caviar, here are ten of the strangest:

The Bird Poo Facial
Also known as the Geisha Facial, this treatment is done using bird poo as its main ingredient and is meant to keep you looking youthful. The procedure features UV-disinfected nightingale poo which is usually air-lifted from Japan and mixed with rice bran, to hide its smell.

Stain-removing strawberries
Strawberries contain a natural exfoliating substance known as malic acid, and some celebs have taken to rubbing it all over their teeth to remove stains.
Rumoured advocates: Catherine Zeta-Jones

Snake Venom
This anti-ageing treatment - which can be injected or applied in a cream - is meant to get rid of wrinkles in the same way Botox does.
Rumoured advocates: Gwyneth Paltrow, Katie Holmes

Cranberry surprise
This one's for the redheads out there! A natural way to boost your hair colour could be to wash it in cranberry juice. The natural colouring found in the fruit helps to enhance colour and shine.
Rumoured advocates: Nicole Kidman

Leech treatments
Apparently, sticking leeches all over your bod is detoxifying.
Rumoured advocates: Demi Moore

The new balayage

Placenta Shampoo
Yes, we are talking about the same placenta that connects the developing fetus to the uterine wall to allow nutrient uptake, waste elimination, and gas exchange. It's also supposed to nourish your hair, leaving it soft and shiny!
Rumoured advovates: Victoria Beckham

Placenta face cream
The cream (using the aforementioned placenta) is another anti-ageing treatment, thought to increase collagen and moisture levels in the skin.
Rumoured advocates: Madonna, Katie Holmes

Hemmorhoid cream treatments
One of the most cost-effective beauty treatments, applying hemmorhoid cream around the bags under your eyes is supposed to help firm the skin.
Rumoured advocates: Sandra Bullock, Hillary Swank

Caviar cream
The expensive delicacy has more uses than just being put in your mouth. Rumour has it that it reduces stretch marks after giving birth.
Rumoured advocates: Angelina Jolie

Fish Pedicures
They're not necessarily new, but there are more and more fish pedicure centres opening world-wide. The fish nibble the dead sking off your feet.
Rumoured advocates: Jessica Simpson, Angelina Jolie and her kids
