If there’s one place to find out about the latest craze in facials, it’s Instagram. Remember Kim Kardashian’s ‘vampire facial’ selfie? As horrific as it might have looked, this little known anti-ageing treatment was promptly catapulted into the limelight with women all over the UK queueing up to have their own blood extracted, whipped up into a super-charged platelet rich plasma, and injected back into their face.
But Kim’s not the only one to flaunt her facial on Instagram. Now more than ever people are posting their treatments for the world to see, and some are admittedly just down right freaky, more reminiscent of something from Hannibal Lecter than a skin firming facial. And don’t get us started on those Darth Vader LED masks…
To celebrate Halloween we’ve collected our favourite (and freakiest) facials that are just screaming out for a post on Insta. So if like these A-listers there’s nothing you won’t do in the name of skin care (and a great snap, while you’re at it), then why not brave one of these celeb-approved treatments for yourself. If you dare..!
