Bravo Star Brandi Glanville Burns Her Face After Beauty Hack Fail You Should Not Try At Home
The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star Brandi Glanville faced controversy after sharing a potentially dangerous "hack" on TikTok. The Bravolebrity has been open about her health struggles, including her facial disfigurement, and has used her platform to share her experiences with her fans.
A Beauty Hack Gone Wrong
Brandi joined RHOBH as a regular cast member during season 3, but left after season 5. However, she showed up in subsequent seasons as a guest star. Recently, Brandi took to TikTok to share her suspicious skincare routine, claiming that Nair hair removal cream is the key to achieving eternal youth.
In the video, Brandi demonstrated how to apply Nair on her face, leaving it on for seven minutes and exclaiming that she had "figured it out." However, fans in the comments section were quick to express their concerns for Brandi's safety. The intense redness and blisters caused by Nair on her face led some to suspect a chemical burn, prompting many to urge her to seek medical attention.
Brandi's Admission
In response to the backlash, Brandi admitted that she had "overdone it" with the product and was in "some pain." She also explained that she liked using Nair on her face because when she exfoliates, it "pisses...whoever's living in my face" off.
Interestingly, this is not the first time Brandi has spoken about parasites living in her face. In December 2024, she told ET that she believed a parasite was responsible for her facial disfigurement, and had visited numerous doctors in an attempt to solve the issue.
The Dangers of Nair on the Face
While some Nair products are safe for use on the face, they should only be applied as directed and after a patch test. Brandi did not specify which Nair product she used on her face, leaving many to wonder about the potential risks.
Nair is meant to be used as a hair removal product, not an exfoliating product for the face. Even following the instructions to the letter can lead to chemical burns, as Brandi's experience tragically demonstrated.
What You Can Do if You Experience a Chemical Burn
If someone experiences a chemical burn from a hair removal product like Nair, there are steps they can take to alleviate the discomfort. Flushing the chemicals off the skin or covering the burn in Neosporin can be effective treatments.
However, if the burn persists or starts feeling worse, it's essential to seek medical attention. In Brandi's case, her red and blistered face served as a warning to fans that using Nair on their faces is not safe.
A Warning to Fans
Brandi's post is a reminder that just because a celebrity or influencer promotes a product, routine, or activity doesn't mean it's safe for everyone. Even reputable products used correctly can have adverse effects on certain people.
People should speak with a doctor before switching skincare routines. Hopefully, given Brandi's red and blistered face in her TikTok video, fans will not follow her advice of using Nair on their faces.
