You Will Not Believe What Celebrities Actually Do to Their Faces

In Hollywood it's not a question of when you age, but how you age. We've seen stars such as Jennifer Lopez stand the test of time with her defined cheekbones and Madonna at the 2015 Met Gala, who looked like she could be 18-year-old Chloë Grace Moretz's sister. The two are perfect examples of how celebrities are defying their real ages, and we're wondering just how exactly they are doing this? While the right makeup products and contouring tricks can go a long way in giving someone that youthful appearance, we bet their beauty secrets are a bit more complicated and uncanny. Most celebrities would not want to admit they've gone under the knife for a new look, but they will speak candidly about strange beauty treatments, from #vampirefacials to placenta creams, that they've tried and love. Keep reading to see what treatments your favorite leading women (and men) are into.

For a unique and powerful detox method, Demi Moore admitted she tried blood-sucking leeches while in Austria. "They have a little enzyme that, when they're biting down on you, gets released into your blood, and generally you bleed for quite a bit. And your health is optimized. It detoxified the blood," she said during an appearance on The Late Show With David Letterman.

Kate Hudson is a global brand ambassador for Almay and has the glowing skin to prove it. While she has her go-to products, the beauty goddess also shared how she revives dull and tired skin. "I used to work with this actor, and every day he would stick his face in an ice bath. A little water and a lot of ice. And he would just stick his face in and try to be in there as long as he could, sort of dab off, and go back in.’ I started doing it," she said to the Daily Makeover.

The actress credits her mom for introducing her to hippie remedies. "She gave us a book she bought at a garage sale about natural beauty remedies, and we used to look up everything," she said to Allure. "Once a year, we all still get together and put mayonnaise in our hair for old times sake."

Like Victoria Beckham, Tom Cruise is also a fan of the "Geisha Facial," made of powdered nightingale droppings, which are natural exfoliants for the skin. According to the Huffington Post, he spends $180 on the treatment.

Stars like Eva Longoria have invested in placenta-protein skin creams. Placentas are full of iron, vitamins, and minerals, which benefit hair, skin, and nails.

For a DIY scrub, Christie Brinkley uses kitty litter. If you're not too keen on this method to get rid of dead skin cells, however, try a gentle coffee bean body scrub.

The actress is known for her all-natural stance, even when it comes to beauty products. One of Shailene Woodley's favorite beauty routines? Using clay toothpaste as well as ingesting clay. "I've discovered that clay is great for you because your body doesn’t absorb it, and it apparently provides a negative charge, so it bonds to negative isotopes," she said in an interview with Into the Gloss. "And, this is crazy: it also helps clean heavy metals out of your body."

When it comes to the outrageous beauty treatments, Kim Kardashian would be one of the brave ones to dive right into it. While filming for her show, the reality star decided to try a Vampire Facial and shared this semibloody snap with her followers. The procedure, which uses needles to inject your own blood into the face, supposedly boosts collagen and elastin production for the skin.

Catherine Zeta-Jones's pearly whites are thanks to brushing with strawberries. "The juice or pulp of strawberries contains malic acid, which serves as an astringent and can lighten surface stains. Pineapples work the same way," she said in an interview with Wales Online. The actress also revealed that she conditions her hair with honey and beer. The con? "Smelling like the bottom of a beer barrel for days," said Catherine.

No Botox for Lady Gaga; the singer revealed that regularly she uses facelift tape to give her skin and cheekbones a tight and lifted look. And for hard-to-remove products on her face, like glitter, the performer shared she loves to use Sellotape. Ouch.

If you don't have time to drink your milk, spray it on. Model Cindy Crawford mixes a little milk with water and sprays it on her face throughout the day. Judging by her ageless skin, this trick might be one to keep in the books.

The actress uses caviar to keep her skin looking youthful. The process, which can last up to three hours, involves Angelina wrapped tight in bandages before being slathered in the caviar cream.

The model shared with her followers just how she maintains her glowing skin— with a caviar and carat facial. Bar posted this photo to her Instagram with the simple caption, "gold." The $185 facial consists of caviar ampule, honey, sea buckthorn, and gold, all of which helps aging and brightens the skin.

Aside from using Japanese eye drops to burn her eyes for a more wide-awake look, Madonna stated she also swears by Eminence. The products all smell like food, from blueberries to coconut.

Nicole Ritchie, who isn't a fan of acupuncture, loves cupping therapy. This alternative medicine involves cups being placed on the skin to create suction, which is supposed to open the blood flow. Nicole recently shared with Ellen DeGeneres that she made her father try it and also brings her children to get cupping therapy.
