Fun Facts About Beauty & Makeup

Tyra Banks did a show on beauty tips from around the world. I thought these fun facts were so interesting that I wanted to share them with you.

Brazil: special Brazilian treatments that tighten the booty

- butt facial: butt is rubbed with exfoliation cream and then a moisturizer; electrodes are applied to specific areas on the butt and thighs; electrical impulses contract the muscles for about 45 minutes; body is spray tanned; results are a more lifted and smoother butt; lasts about 3 days

Israel: snake massage
- certain snakes are placed on the body; their movement massages the body and exfoliates your skin; it's said that they seek out painful areas in the body and relieve the tension in those areas; audience member Elsie "LOVED her snake massage and said it was the most relaxing massage she’s ever received."

Japan: eyelash perm
- Straight eyelashes are permanently curled using a special japanese developed technique. Not painful. Audience member Diana threw away all her mascara after she got it done. I saw the results and they were dramatic. I would love to get it done.

Egypt: 24 karat gold facial
- It's said that Cleopatra put pure gold on her face to keep her skin looking beautiful. Special properties of the gold result in radiant skin. Now that's decadent!

Turkey: fish pedicure
- Certain fish eat dead skin off the feet. Results are smooth and soft feet. Talk about all natural!

Africa: semi-permanent makeup
- I want this one: vegetable dyes are used with a needle to put on makeup with results that last 3 years. This is not the same as tattoo makeup. The area is numbed and a professional can give you eyeliner, lip color, eyebrows, etc.

Ear Candle Treatments
- Special burning candles are inserted into the ear. Ear wax and impurities are removed resulting in improved mental clarity, energy and a greater sense of well-being.

Thanks for those fun facts Tyra!
