The rich and famous are constantly looking for the latest beauty secret to stay young and vibrant. And there seems to be NOTHING they are not prepared to do to maintain their youthful looks. From leech facials to cleanses created from bird faeces, read on to discover the strangest beauty secrets of the stars...

The former Victoria’s Secret model, 39, believes in the ancient beauty method of leech facials - which sees hirudo therapists extract the patients blood and then insert back into their face to create a taught look. In 2017, Miranda said: "It’s adventurous. Health is wealth. They’ve been doing leech therapy for thousands of years."

The former Spice Girl reportedly regularly undergoes a pricey bird poo facial to keep ageing at bay, a trick Victoria, 48, picked up in Japan. A source said: “She tried it and loved how great her skin looked. She also uses a cream derived from nightingale poo at home."

Kim, 42, went viral in 2013 when she posted a picture of her having a vampire facial on her Instagram account with her own blood smeared all over her face with the ultimate goal to preserve its dewy glow. However, in a blog post, Kim called it "the one treatment that [she'll] never do again".

Sandra swears by using haemorrhoids cream on her eye bags to reduce swelling. Sandra, 58, picked up the trick when she visited beauty pageants to research her role in 'Miss Congeniality’. In 2005, she said: "My favorite beauty pageant secret: I didn’t realize that putting haemorrhoids ointment on your face is acceptable in the beauty business."

The former 'Jersey Shore’ star - whose real name is Nicole Polizzi - once told Conan O’Brien she used “clean kitty litter” as a skin exfoliator. In 2011, she said: “Well, I definitely like to Google a lot, and I don’t like to spend a lot of money on spa treatments - just because I’m a cheap-o. So I Googled what else I could use that was not so expensive. It was cat litter."

The 63-year music mogul once tried out the much-documented method of using a sheep's placenta to boost his skin. In 2015, Simon said: "I had a sheep placenta facial once, which was quite out there."

The Oscar winner, 50, is no stranger to an odd beauty trick as she loves to publicise them via her lifestyle brand Goop but one of the weirdest is her attempt at bee sting therapy, which she admitted was very “painful”. In 2016, she said: "I've been stung by bees. It's a thousands of years old treatment called apitherapy. "People use it to get rid of inflammation and scarring. It's actually pretty incredible if you research it. But, man, it's painful!"

The ‘Black Widow’ star uses apple cider vinegar as part of her daily skincare routine as a "really effective” blemish smoother. In 2013, the 38-year-old actress said: "I researched natural skincare and found that apple cider vinegar is really effective. Using it as a toner can be harsh, but if you have breakouts it can be really healing.''

The ‘Babylon’ star, 32, believes chapstick is a con so she found substitute for dry, cracked lips; nursing cream! In 2017, Margot said: “My lip balm, I use Bepanthen, which is actually a cream for breastfeeding mothers or diaper rash cream for babies. "I have a conspiracy theory that lip balms actually have additives in them to dry your lips out so you keep buying them. But because Bepanthen is just a cream for dry skin, it works. It’s what I’ve used my whole life.”

The ‘Tar’ star is a follower of the ‘p**** facial’, the nickname of the Hollywood EGF facial, which uses skin cells from the foreskin of babies! Back in 2018, the 53-year-old Academy Award winner reflected the process smelled "a bit like sperm".
