Since the time of Cleopatra, people have been looking for ingredients that could not only improve the natural beauty, but also prolong it. Today there are promising creams and serums. That's just most of these products are useless, they are not able to return the promised youth. There is an adequate attitude to plastic surgery today, but chemical facial peeling or botox injections designed to delay aging for several years still seem barbaric. We will introduce you to what women go to for the sake of preserving or returning youth in this article.

Would you agree to put blood-sucking leeches on your face if there were a few wrinkles at stake? Demi Moore, they say, believed in these creatures and agreed to the procedure. It is believed that leeches remove toxins from the blood and rejuvenate. If only it were that simple.

Victoria Beckham is not alone in her decision to keep her youth. Since she conquered the stage and appeared on posters in the 90s, she has been on strict diets. And for masks, she uses a very strange ingredient that provides her skin with elasticity and radiance. In addition to the nightingale's droppings, the mask includes rice bran and water. A similar remedy was used by Japanese geisha for a healthy complexion. Each mask must be kept on the face for 60 minutes, and such a procedure costs $ 200.

Everyone knows that the substances contained in the placenta are characterized by an extraordinary therapeutic effect. Actress Eva Longoria is considered a supporter of such treatment, as the placenta promotes rapid cell regeneration.

Experts say that pets help us cope with depression and stress. But some people think that in order to look young, you don't need to have a cat, you just need to use a filler for cat toilets as a scrub for peeling the skin. Supermodel Christie Brinkley uses it to maintain the beauty of the skin. None of the scientists came up with a refutation of this idea, and Brinkley's appearance proves that the remedy works.

Today, caviar will not surprise anyone, although before, and today this product was considered the lot of the rich. At one time Cleopatra, and today and Angelina Jolie uses it as a face mask. For a small portion today they give $ 300, using caviar as a moisturizing body mask, and since it contains vitamins A and D and other useful substances, it is also nutritious. However, you can replace the caviar with a jar of fish oil for $ 15, since it contains the same ingredients.

For someone it will sound funny, but, in addition to health, laughter contributes to the formation of wrinkles on the face around the mouth and eyes. Many have decided to give up smiles and try not to express any emotions on their face. The woman who calls herself the modern Mona Lisa has not laughed for 40 years. A more famous personality, Kim Kardashian, is criticized for such a manner of behavior. But Kim, posting photos of her laughing with friends on Instagram, comments that she laughs, but not often, as it causes wrinkles.

Another controversial remedy used to prolong youth has come to us from Japan. This is collagen, a substance of animal origin. Women not only practice collagen injections, but also drink it, believing that concentrated collagen will help the skin to remain elastic due to the effects from the inside. That's why in Japan, in restaurants, women prefer dishes to which collagen is added.

Antioxidants have been proven to fight premature aging. They are found in expensive creams, purple fruits and berries, such as blueberries or goji berries. That's why many people introduce them into their diet. Courtney Love claims that she adheres to such a menu for a long time, but since the singer has undergone many plastic surgeries, it is now difficult to say that it was the berries that helped her.

Botox injections are considered to be the most popular procedures for maintaining beauty. They are much more affordable and safer than plastic surgery. But that's not the whole truth about them. If the injections are made incorrectly or with a low-quality drug, the person may become paralyzed. In addition, the patient is hooked on injections, since their duration is short. The faces of many Hollywood stars have completely changed due to such injections, often not for the better.

It doesn't matter how many injections are made to get rid of wrinkles on the face, if the neck gives out the real age. That's what neck skin tightening is for. This is a surgical procedure, as the skin is cut and stretched. Do not think that as a result of the operation, the neck of a twenty-year-old girl will return. The operation will only slightly improve the appearance.

Face masks have been used at all times to maintain beauty. They mainly include ingredients such as honey, milk and other nutrients, but not gold. This very expensive mask was offered by a Japanese company as a very powerful remedy with an antioxidant effect. Today, with a strong desire, such a mask can be made in any country, if you pay $ 250.

One of the secrets of the youth of supermodels, including, among others, Christy Tarlington, is the use of the drug H under the eyes to combat wrinkles and bags. Actually, this drug, which contains phenylephrine, is used to treat hemorrhoids. It is not recommended by specialists for frequent use on the face, as the skin may thicken in the area of application and premature wrinkles will occur.

Today, the attention of scientists is focused on the research of stem cells that can help the skin regenerate and improve and, in addition, cope with skin diseases, aging and the resorption of scars. Theoretically, the effect of using the cream comes in an hour, although no special studies have been conducted. Over time, it will become clear whether stem cells can be considered a new botox.

However, this is not a complete list of strange ingredients added to cosmetics. There are worse options.
