It’s no secret the stars will go to great lengths in the name of beauty; we all remember Kim K’s vampire facial, right? Yep, the world of celebrity beauty is home to some pretty wild things.
Whether the celebrity beauty secrets come in the form of home remedies or crafty treatments, we’re always interested to hear!
So, if you’re in the mood to try something new, we’ve rounded up all the weirdest and wackiest beauty tips, straight from the celebrities with the most beautiful skin. Enjoy.
12 weirdest and wackiest celebrity beauty tips
Gwyneth Paltrow
Here’s a wellness treatment that we’re confident you’ve never heard of and one we’d put money on that you’ve never tried (and likely never will). During an appearance on the podcast The Art of Being Well, Gwyneth revealed the weirdest wellness treatment she’s ever tried: “I have used ozone therapy, rectally” she answered.
“It’s pretty weird. It’s pretty weird, yeah. But it’s been very helpful,” she insisted.
Just as the name sounds, this treatment describes the process of inserting ozone via the rectum. The benefits include a reduction in pain and inflammation, increased energy, improved circulation and a stimulated immune system, among others.
Blake Lively
There’s no doubt Blake’s long blonde locks are ridiculously good, so when she reveals a hair hack, we listen. “My mom taught me this really great beauty tip. She used to put oil or mayonnaise on the bottom half of her hair before she would shower,” Lively said. “That way, when she would shampoo, the soap wouldn’t strip the bottom of the hair and dry it out, making it brittle,” Blake revealed. Alrighty then.
Jennifer Aniston
Ever wondered how Jen gets her mane so gloriously glossy? Well, turns out she uses the same shampoo as, um, horses. Yep, she relies on The Original Shampoo by Mane ‘n Tail, first designed to keep horses’ manes full, strong and healthy. Whatever works.
Suki Waterhouse
Forget shampoo; Suki is more into soft drink when it comes to shower time. “I rinse my hair with Coca-Cola sometimes,” she said. “I don’t like my hair when it’s washed—it’s fine and limp—but Coca-Cola makes it tousled, like I’ve gone through the Amazon or something.” Celebrity beauty tips can be so creative!
Nicole Kidman
She may be blonde now, but the once vibrant redhead kept her locks shiny and fresh by pouring a cup of cranberry juice over her hair after shampooing. Apparently it helps to enhance colour and seal the cuticle. Well, that’s one way to colour hair!
Beyoncé
Bey’s brows (like everything else about her) are next-level amazing. But we’ll bet you didn’t guess glue was the product behind them. Her makeup artist Sir John revealed the hot tip, divulging that Bey has even adopted it herself. “My [favourite] beauty hack is to use Elmer’s Glue Stick as the ultimate brow gel in the heat,” he said. “It doesn’t clog your pores, and it washes off easily.”
Halle Berry
If Halle’s handing out body tips, we’ll take them. The actress adds ground coffee to her body wash in the hope that the caffeine and mild exfoliation will help to increase blood flow and banish cellulite.
Kate Hudson
Ever wondered how Kate Hudson gets her skin to look so radiant? The actress actually likes to dunk her face in an ice bath to revive her glow. Brrrrr!
Scarlett Johansson
Scarlett uses apple cider vinegar to cleanse her face; and her glowing skin is a ringing endorsement. “I found that apple cider vinegar is really effective. If you have breakouts it can be really healing,” she reveals.
Eva Longoria
Want baby soft skin like the Desperate Housewives star? Eva is a big fan of skin creams containing placenta, which is thought to boost collagen production and moisture levels. Celebrity beauty at its wildest, huh?
Mariah Carey
Jealous of the stunning singer’s plump lips? Her trick is adding a few drops of peppermint oil to lip-gloss, which increases blood flow and causes the lips to swell.
Demi Moore
Want to look as good as Demi Moore? Better pop on some leeches. The actress admitted in 2008 to undertaking ‘leech therapy’ to detoxify her blood and optimize her health.
Have you tried any of these beauty tricks? What is the strangest beauty tip you’ve ever come across?
Placenta and leeches – yuk
Ummmmmmm………….ok. Some interesting ones here, that’s for sure. But I have heard of the coffee grounds. I’ve often thought of raiding hubbys coffee machine.
Some these Id try, and then others I am skeptical of.
I'm surprised Kate hasn't got broken capillaries . Some of these I've heard of before though
Leeches and placenta- NO!
Food as beauty treatments have been around for ages.
Leeches? Hell-to-the-no!
Mane & Tail is hugely popular in the US and isn’t considered weird at all. Using a loofah on your hair is weird though and the mind boggles at how this is an alternative to a hair brush. Mayonnaise in the hair is another popular US thing but never one I had any desire to try. And have you seen the videos of coke lifting oil stains off a garage floor? There’s a reason it makes hair look tousled. If it’ll lift oil out of concrete, it’s doing a lot worse to your hair! Of all the strange celeb beauty secrets here, this is the the one to avoid.
Some of these are really weird! I don't think I'll be using these tips, interesting read though 🙂
Ground coffee is a great exfoliant, really works better than any commercially bought "body scrub" with few random gigantic granules in a cream base. Just wet tiny bit some in the hand and go for it! Result: skin smooth as silk and soft and feels as it was moisturized after getting out of the shower =0
Glue stick for your eyebrows and coke for your hair? Omg no, just stop.
Whatever rings your bells!
There are some very unusual suggestions here!
Ive heard of quite a few of these and they have been been around a long time. Nothing that tempts me to try any of these though.
Interesting article BH Xx
Some reaaalllly waccccky ones here
Bicarb and coconut oil do just about anything. I’m not sure I’d try any of these but not really surprised.
Not sure about a lot of these.
Some seem quite strange, in my experience I kept the baby and threw out the placenta. But that's just me.
Actually apple cider vinegar is a good PH, that's why it's used to make hair shiny and good as a skin toner. You might be thinking about regular vinegar which would be harsh.
I do love a celebrity hack
BeeBee uses it too! How cute!! https://www.instagram.com/p/Berzo2thzgc/ It's not just a Horse Shampoo. Perhaps BH could get some for a trial. I would love to be apart of that. The products are quite reasonably priced.
Jen Aniston's hair is always super shiny. I might try it too! https://www.manentail.com.au/

About Us
How it began:
40 years ago, Mane ‘n Tail was originally developed for horses (hence the name) to encourage hair growth, fullness, shine and manageability. When the equestrian folks saw the amazing results of the horses’ long flowing manes and tails, they were so impressed with the stunning results, they began using products on themselves; the rest is history!
With many celebrity fans such as Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Aniston and Sarah Jessica Parker to name a few. Affectionately known as the 'long hair shampoo' due to the micro-enriched protein formulas, which help to prevent hair breakage and repair split ends, achieving the goal of longer, stronger, fuller hair the results are unbelievable! It is truly the secret to beautiful hair.
I think most shampoos give a nice shine to your hair, but some just seem to be a one day thing and then you need to wash your again. I try to wash every couple of day only
Oil on hair tick, coffee grounds scrub yep, the shampoo dont' know but open minded, the rest nope
Apparently beer is like apple cider vinegar and you rinse your hair with it to create more shine.
WOW! I just realised BH has recycled this article from 2016. Interesting!!
Some interesting ideas in this
Placenta Eva. Is she serious.
I read Beyonce's glue stick on eyebrows thing and now I am imagining having to pick glue out of my brows…………yuck.
Some of these suggestions sound a bit strange, while others might be worth a try.
Some interesting beauty tips here, I’ve never tried any of them myself.
‘I don’t think so’ to a lot of these but some sound interesting, who wouldn’t want Jen’s hair! This particular photo of Demi is not a good advert for leeches!
Sounds like a good shampoo!
I was a little shocked at the photo of Demi Moore. To me she no longer looks like Demi Moore.
There are some real extremes listed here. I think finding the best shampoo that works for your hair is the only solution. I would never use coca cola in my hair, having seen what it can do to clean coins and drains.
The Coca Cola one is intriguing! It'd get pretty sticky though i think!
I've been using Mane & Tail shampoo and conditioner for a few months, it works really well on my hair.
Is this for real??? Or is it people making shiz up??? Ha ha!!!
I feel like there's a plethora of products that have been specially formulated from a lot of research and making the best out of natural and artificial ingredients that simple one ingredient home remedies are redundant
Mmmm not trying these. Some are a bit out there.
Coffee is used in a lot of products for your face and body and hair loss shampoo s.
Blake's tip does not really make sense. My understanding is shampoo is really for the scalp but her tip suggests she uses shampoo for the shaft of her hair as well… Also, to avoid drying out the shaft of hair is why we have conditioners! Honestly I have doubts her hair is attributable to this anyway given that she most likely just sees a really good hairdresser who actually washes her hair properly since it seems like she has no idea what she is doing.
Washing hair with Coca Cola is pretty radical. I would wonder what the long term damage would be. My follow up questions is what or who convinced her this was a good idea.
Coffee grounds is not so unusual anymore . Many body scrubs are coffee ground based.
Some of those tips are just…weird.
So this is normal now!
That's so cool!
I can imagine it gets really messy!
How interesting!! How creative.
Leeches?? Er.. NO! Cranberry juice hair rinse? Mm… I wonder…
I was using ground up coffee beans out of my plunger more than 10 years ago
Haha Meedee, I was actually thinking if I looked like Demi Moore does here in 10 years time I’d be pretty happy with myself. On the other hand implying 34-year-olds are ‘old’ and including a zit remedy from someone who’s clearly got many of them covered up by make up, not so impressive.
Coca-Cola and cranberry juice? I’m guessing you’ve got to love ANTS as well as your hair to try these tips!
