From forks to mayonnaise, the weird beauty secrets of the rich and famous

-

MADONNA was back in the headlines this week, after taking to Instagram to reveal her slightly unconventi­onal secret to an at-home facial. But the singer and skincare entreprene­ur isn’t the only star to take an occasional­ly offbeat approach to looking good. We take a look at some of the weirdest celebrity beauty tips out there. Forks Queen of pop Madonna raised eyebrows this week when she uploaded a video to social media that showed her beautician giving her a facial with two fork-like tools, which the star claims “tightens” the skin. She also observed how useful they can be for stabbing people, but that’s another story. Coca-Cola A couple of years ago, Suki Waterhouse let US Weekly in on a beauty secret of hers. “I rinse my hair with CocaCola sometimes,” she told the publicatio­n, explaining that it made her hair look “tousled.” Bee stings In a 2016 interview with The New York Times, Hollywood star and Goop founder Gwyneth Paltrow admitted that she had tried apitherapy, a treatment that involves getting stung by bees to reduce inflammati­on and scarring. “But, man, it’s painful,” she clarified. Mayonnaise Clearly, when it comes to at-home beauty remedies, celebritie­s are just as tempted as the rest of us. Blake Lively once told Byrdie that her top haircare tip (passed on to her by her mother) was to coat the bottom half of her hair with mayonnaise before shampooing, to keep it from becoming brittle. In case you are doubtful, you should know that this is a method also tested by Zoe Saldaña. Ice baths Kate Hudson’s glowing complexion is apparently down to a surprising­ly cheap and cheerful beauty trick — the actress simply dunks her face in an ice bath as soon as her skin begins to look tired or dull, StyleCaste­r reports.
