5 bizarre anti-ageing beauty products celebs swear by

<p class="content-bodyparagraph">Would you do anything in the name of beauty? What about putting bird poo on your face? These beauty products all contain animal secretions of some sort, and it seems that the industry is booming with celebs and regular folk too.</p> <p class="content-bodyparagraph">Which one of these would you try?</p> <p><strong>1. Bee venom</strong></p> <p>Boost your collagen production and regenerate skin cells with bee venom. Also known as ‘nature’s botox’, the venom is easily extracted from the bees and then added to creams. You can also use bee venom as a pain relief for arthritis. Who knew?</p> <p><strong>2. Pig collagen</strong></p> <p>Grab yourself a facemask packed with pig collagen and enjoy tighter, firmer skin and fewer wrinkles. Pig collagen is similar to human collagen, so it encourages our bodies to produce more of it.</p> <p><strong>3. Salmon enzyme</strong></p> <p>If you have sensitive skin, you’ll know that exfoliating can lead to redness and irritation. Enter salmon enzyme, which promises to remove dead skin cells but leave the living ones alone. It is thought to improve all over complexion as well as specifically targeting age spots.</p> <p><strong>4. Bird poo</strong></p> <p>Not just any old bird, but specifically the droppings of the Japanese bush warbler are used to make the ‘Geisha Facial’. Used since ancient times in Japan, the face mask is making a splash all over the world and can help to reduce the signs of sun damage and acne.</p> <p><strong>5. Snail secretions</strong></p> <p>Collecting the slime from garden snails in the name of beauty sounds odd, but the secretions contain common ingredients already found in many beauty products. It’s very popular in Asia as an anti-ageing product, which can be found as a serum, mask or cream.</p> <p>Have you tried any of these beauty products? Did you notice any benefit?
