KEINGINAN untuk tampil menawan bisa jadi sangat mahal, tapi perawatan wajah agar tetap tampak muda - termasuk beberapa perawatan aneh, meski tampak menjijikkan.
Pekan ini, Mirror.co.uk mengungkapkan bahwa spa bir di Oregon, AS, menawarkan kesempatan untuk bersantai di bak relaksasi yang dipenuhi buih bir.
Bir dikatakan memiliki efek menenangkan dan mengisi pori, sementara hop memiliki sifat pelembab yang dapat membantu kulit tetap halus.
Namun perawatan tubuh seperti itu belum tergolong aneh. Mari kita lihat teknik perawatan lain:
Perawatan Wajah dengan Siput
Ya merawat wajah dengan siput. Besar di Jepang, pengobatan dengan tiga siput yang merayap naik dan turun di wajah Anda dan lendir yang dikeluarkan siput memiliki sifat anti-penuaan.
Tampaknya, perawatan dengan siput itu akan membuat Anda lebih santai dan kulit Anda terasa fantastis. Dan ongkosnya Rp1 juta.
Tidak banyak tempat di Inggris menawarkan pengobatan, tetapi jika Anda menyukai suara siput di wajah, Anda bisa mendapatkannya di salon di Corby, Northants.
Namun, jika Anda tidak ingin membayar Rp1 juta lendir siput maka krim pelembabnya dapat dibeli via online dengan harga Rp200.00.
Facial Kotoran Burung
Kotoran burung dioleskan di seluruh wajah Anda dianggap sebagai cara yang tepat untuk menjaga kulit Anda merasa sehalus punggung bayi.
Inilah teknik perawatan lain di Jepang, juga dikenal sebagai Facial Geisha, dan perawatan berlangsung 60 menit.
Perawatan dengan kotoran burung ini tersedia di The Spa To You di Hilton dan London Park Lane dengan biaya perawatan Rp3,6 juta.
Dan ada sabun dan masker yang ditawarkan oleh situs birdpoopfacial, mulai dari harga Rp240.000 hingga Rp360.00, dan pengiriman gratis di seluruh dunia.
Pijat Ular
Perawatan yang satu ini bakal bikin hati Anda kecut.
Ular dibiarkan merayap di seluruh wajah, bahu dan leher, tampaknya ampuh menghilangkan migrain dan nyeri otot.
Peternakan di Israel yang bernama The Ada Barak’s Carnivorous Plant Farm menawarkan biaya perawatan sekitar Rp1,16 juta.
Tidak disarankan untuk mencobanya di rumah - kecuali jika Anda memiliki ular yang Anda yakini aman untuk melakukannya, tentu saja.
Placenta Facial
Menurut para ahli, sel-sel plasenta pada domba menutrisi kulit dan mencegah penuaan.
Biayanya Rp3,7 juta untuk sesi yang berlangsung sekitar satu jam setengah.
Peraawatan tergolong aneh ini tersedia di klinik the Beyond MediSpa di Harvey Nichols London dan Edinburgh.
THE PURSUIT of looking perfect can be expensive, but these bizarre beauty regimes include things you might not expect anyone to try
People will try just about anything to keep their skin looking youthful - including a handful of weird, and slightly gross, treatments.
This week, Mirror.co.uk revealed that a beer spa in Oregon , US, is offering a chance to relax in one relaxation tubs filled with ale.
The beer is said to have a calming and replenishing effect, while the hops have moisturising properties which can help skin stay smooth.
But it's far from the strangest treatment. Check out these others:
Snail Facial
Yes, you heard that right - Snail Facial. Big in Japan, the treatment involves having three snails slither up and down your face as their mucus is said to have anti-ageing properties.
Apparently, it'll relax you and leave your skin feeling fantastic. And it costs £50.
There aren't many places in the UK offering the treatment, but if you like the sound of a snail facial, you can get one at a salon in Corby, Northants.
However, if you don't want to fork out £50 a snail slime cleansing moisturising cream is available online for £10.
Bird Poo Facial
Bird poo smeared all over your face is supposedly a great way to keep your skin feeling as smooth as a baby's backside.
It's another Japanese regime, also known as the Geisha Facial , and is a 60-minute treatment.
The Spa To You at the Hilton and London's Park Lane offer the facial for £180.

Snake Massage
This one is not for the faint-hearted.
Snakes are sent slithering all over your face, shoulders and neck, apparently relieving migraines and muscle pain.
The Ada Barak’s Carnivorous Plant Farm in Israel charges around £58.
There is no DIY home kit to try - unless you have a trustworthy snake handy, of course.
Placenta Facial
ccording to experts, the cells in sheep placenta nourish the skin and prevent ageing.
It costs £185 for a session that lasts around an hour and a half.
The bizarre treatment is available at the Beyond MediSpa clinics inside Harvey Nichols in London and Edinburgh.
