Brandi Glanville posts shocking video using Nair to fight facial parasites
In a TikTok video posted Sunday, Aug. 3, the former "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star's face around her cheeks and chin appears red and inflamed, as she touts the popular depilatory Nair as a way to address the parasite.
"I know I look attractive," Glanville, 52, says of the damage to her skin. "So, good news, you guys don't have to spend a lot of money on (chemical) peels and lasers anymore."
She went on to add that when she has "an exfoliated face it pisses ... off whoever is living in my face."
"Nair is the fountain of youth. I figured it out, but I overdid it," she continued. "Seven minutes. Don't do it."
In the caption of the video, she suggested others do a "test patch" in the caption of the video, claimed to have used Nair to burn "the loose skin off my arms" and touted the easy price point.
However Nair's product label warns not to use on the face and other sensitive areas, and not to use on irritated, sunburned, inflamed or broken skin.

Fans shared worry for Glanville in the comments. "Please do NOT put Nair in your face!!" one person wrote. "You gotta get out of LA girl. I swear there's so much more out there," said another.
"NAIR is not meant to be a chemical peel. brandy (sic) please dont do anything that's not recommended by a professional doctor," one fan added. "& even then be cautious & get second opinions."
One person added: "I have no words but praying for you girl."
What is Morgellons? Fans suggest Brandi Glanville may have disease
Others suggested the television personality may have Morgellons or a chemical burn, and suggested she go to the emergency room.
Morgellons disease, a form of delusional parasitosis, is a contested condition in which people are thought to have a false belief that they are infected by parasites, mites, worms or other organisms, despite testing suggesting the contrary, according to the Mayo Clinic.
In December, Glanville first explained she was dealing with a parasite that caused swelling, disfiguration and trouble speaking. She told Entertainment Tonight at the time that she "did lab work for $10,000" and underwent a host of testing with a variety of doctors, without a clear answer as to the cause of her condition.
Facial parasites, mites or worms, can lead to common conditions like demodicosis, or the overgrowth of demodex mites, which virtually all humans have and are naturally occurring on the face.

LA ROCHE-POSAY AND GLOBAL SKIN HEALTH EXPERTS UNITE TO WARN ABOUT LONG TERM CONSEQUENCES OF DANGEROUS 'BURN LINES' SOCIAL MEDIA TREND
PARIS, Aug. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A viral TikTok challenge known as "Burn Lines" or "Sunburn Tattoos" is gaining alarming traction among teenagers and young adults worldwide. The trend, which involves placing tape or stencils on the skin to intentionally burn patterned tan lines, has sparked widespread concern among global health experts. France's Minister of Health stated recently: "For a few seconds of buzz on social media, young people are destroying their skin cells for life. We only get one skin." LA ROCHE-POSAY REAFFIRMS ITS LONGSTANDING COMMITMENT TO SKIN HEALTHAs a global leader in sun protection and skin cancer prevention, La Roche-Posay is worried about the long-term consequences of the Burn Lines challenge and aims at warning the public of how dangerous this practice can be, alongside health professionals. Through its global Cancer Support program and Save Your Skin initiative, the brand promotes sun-safe habits and early detection, offering resources like free mole checks and public education campaigns. SUPPORT FROM GLOBAL DERMATOLOGISTS "As dermatologists, we are deeply concerned by the 'Burn Lines' trends on social media" stated a group of leading dermatologists (see list at the end of release). "Such practices are not only reckless but directly contribute to irreparable skin damage, DNA damage & premature aging, and significantly increase the risk of skin cancer, including melanoma, one of the fastest-rising and deadliest cancers among young generation". A MESSAGE FROM EUROMELANOMA: PROTECTING THE NEXT GENERATION "Just one blistering sunburn in childhood more than doubles the risk of skin cancer in adulthood" warns Véronique Del Marmol, President of Euromelanoma, a pan-European skin cancer prevention ressource center. "Yet 35% of parents rarely give their child protective clothing when exposed to the sun. On the other side, 57% of teenagers still associate tanning with attractiveness". With melanoma rates projected to rise by 40% by 2040, calling for immediate action to warn about this social media trend is without any doubt a true matter of public health. GLOBALSKIN: CHAMPIONING THE PATIENT PERSPECTIVE Jennifer Austin, CEO of GlobalSkin – the leading international not-for-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of people living with skin conditions globally – adds, "Our member patient organizations witness firsthand the devastating impact of skin cancers and chronic sun damage on individuals and families. The 'Burn Lines' trends are a stark reminder of the misinformation prevalent online and the urgent need for clear, accessible and compassionate public education." This is why La Roche-Posay, alongside with world-class dermatologists and leading health associations, join forces to pursue the collective effort to educate on scientifically backed sun safety measures, such as wearing a hat, clothes with sleeves, sunglasses, and apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen SPF50+/UVA on uncovered body areas. La Roche-Posay will amplify content on social media under #DermsAgainstBurns to create a positive movement around the critical importance of sun safe habits. Last, we will relentlessly continue to advocate, with the medical community, towards authorities, policy makers and trade associations to promote responsible sun behavior. ABOUT THE DERMATOLOGISTS THAT SUPPORT #DERMSAGAINSTBURNS MESSAGING Prof. Thierry Passeron, France – Chair, Dermatology Department, Nice University Hospital; melanoma and pigmentation researcher, expert in photoprotection Prof. Henry W. Lim, USA – Former Chair of Dermatology, Henry Ford Health; President, ILDS; expert in sunscreen and photoprotection Prof. Jorge Ocampo Candiani, Mexico – Former President, Mexican Society of Dermatological Surgery; incoming President, World Congress of Dermatology 2027 Prof. Sergio Schalka, Brazil – Chair, Latin American Alliance for Photoprotection; lead, Brazilian Consensus on Photoprotection, expert in photoprotection ABOUT LA ROCHE-POSAY, EUROMELANOMA & GLOBAL SKIN For more information and resources on sun protection and melanoma awareness, please visit La Roche-Posay's Save Your Skin initiative, Euromelanoma and GlobalSkin websites.

Brandi Glanville posts shocking video using Nair to fight facial parasites
Brandi Glanville is concerning fans after using a chemical hair removal cream on her face to fight a facial parasite.

28 "Uncool" Products Under $25 That May Alter Your Life
A retinol body lotion with powerhouse ingredients that can help smooth fine lines, wrinkles, and crepey skin. Retinol is helpful for improving cell turnover, and this formula also packs in ferulic acid to fight discoloration, plus shea butter and green tea to soothe and hydrate. It has a light floral scent and creamy formula (nongreasy!) that reviewers love — and BTW, some even saw results within a few days! A Megababe odor-blocking foot spray if you can't wear your fave shoes without getting a whiff of something *less than pleasant* at the end of the day. The ~magic~ of this spray is in the tea tree oil, which is antimicrobial and helps fight odor-causing bacteria *before* your feet have a chance to stink. Simply spritz the minty lavender "toe deo" on clean, dry feet for hours-long protection, literally: Reviewers say this totally saved them after working grueling, fume-producing 10-hour and 12-hour shifts. A Pikk-it brush cleaner because vacuuming is hard enough without having to spend the first 10 minutes pulling and hacking away at all the hair (and if you're a pet parent, much fur) on the roller brush. This little invention seamlessly hooks and cuts through it all and can even fit in those hard-to-reach places scissors never could — leaving your vacuum looking (and working!) like brand spankin' new (i.e. way better suction). A jar opening tool so you don't need to call in reinforcements and face their judgmental look because YES, you like pickles — OK?? This nifty tool has a rubber lining that firmly grips jar tops of different sizes for easy twist off *and* has hooks to break air seals or open pull tabs, so your days of careful strategizing ("OK, you hold, I twist") are over. Maldon sea salt flakes for a little sprinkle with a *big* impact. Reviewers rave about how crunchy and flavorful this finishing salt is, and say it completely transforms their dishes and desserts! And if you don't trust their praises: Queen Elizabeth II herself issued the company a Royal Warrant, a symbol of excellence, making them the *official* supplier of sea salt to the royal family (the salt world runs deep, y'all). A can of Monday Haircare dry shampoo so your freshly washed hair from Monday morning can last all the way through Tuesday *and* Wednesday (hey, maybe even Thursday — no shame). This'll give a little ~oomph~ to greasy and limp locks without the stiff, sticky, or powdery residue, leaving them feeling (and smelling, hellooo gardenias) fresh. Reviewers even prefer it to higher-end brands like Amika ($29!) and Monat ($48!!) PanOxyl's Acne Creamy Wash, which is gentler on the skin than their TikTok-famous foaming wash but has all the same acne-fighting ingredients. The lower-concentration benzoyl peroxide can lessen the appearance of breakouts while preventing new ones from forming (as an acne-prone girly... amazing). Reviewers say this formula works to fight body acne as well, and even gives a lil' boost of hydration! SweatBlock antiperspirant wipes if you're tired of avoiding light grays just to conceal those secret sweat stains. These wipes have a clinical strength formula that can last up to seven days — simply dab on at night, let it dry, and rinse off in the morning. From reviewers who sweat through hoodies to those working in hot warehouses, they say it truly works to stop (or significantly reduce) sweating! A Bug Bite Thing, the suctioning tool that'll provide relief from the bloodsuckers ruining your evening stroll. The little gizmo works by pulling out the saliva from your mosquito bites (or wasp stings!), which is full of the venom that causes the itching and irritation. It works like a syringe (but no needle, BTW) — after a few seconds of holding the suction, you'll be good to go. It's a great tool to have in your bug-fighting arsenal, and also kid-friendly! A pack of space-saving hangers because we do have things to wear, they're just lost in the black hole of our closet. These can hold up to five pieces of clothing each, and can even be used to separate outfits or organize by category — so you won't have to hear it the next time your Virgo friend needs to borrow a top. Burt's Bees After Sun Soother to be prepared the next time you get a harsh reminder that sunscreen should be reapplied every two hours (lesson = learned). The lightweight lotion is made with aloe and coconut oil to help soothe red, inflamed skin, speed up healing, and reduce peeling *without* that greasy or sticky feeling. Even with no sunburn to treat, reviewers say it's lovely for deeply moisturizing dehydrated skin after swimming, because that saltwater and chlorine dryness is no joke either. A Gold Bond Friction Defense stick because there are seriously few things worse than chafing (*shudder*). The stick's formula glides easily onto skin and can be applied anywhere friction occurs, like between thighs or under bras. It creates a layer of defense against chafe pain without being greasy, has aloe to soothe any roughed-up skin, *and* reviewers say it holds up against sweat or getting wet! For anyone who has worn shorts only to end the day with a limping, circular walk, this one's for us. A pack of Liquid I.V. for those moments when you need water and you need water now. These electrolyte drink mixes contain *lots* of vitamins and nutrients and can really come in handy after a particularly sweaty day or ~long night out~. Plus, they're individually packed and quickly dissolve in water, so perfect for on-the-go use! A JavaSok to help protect your $8 iced latte from meeting a sad, melty end. The flexible sleeve is made of a thermal insulating material that keeps drinks cold for hours, preventing wet hands and those puddles of condensation on your desk. With these, you can actually take your time sippin' on those hot summer days and ditch the napkins that always become a sopping mess anyway. Psst — it works on hot drinks too, so you can also say bye to lukewarm coffee, burnt hands, and annoying desk rings! A veggie chopper with six attachments (including a mandoline slicer *and* cheese grater!) that'll make prepping a salad easy as pie — you don't even need a bowl; just mix and eat straight out of the tray if you like! It can be an easy, low-effort way to get your greens in for the day, and would be especially helpful to speed up weekly meal prepping so it doesn't take up your entire Sunday. A Car Seat Key to push that tough little red button on your kiddo's seat without sacrificing your fresh mani. This tool is a game changer for parents or guardians with long nails and weaker hands — it can even be attached to your keychain so you never have to resort to using your knuckles (or a wooden spoon) again. A bath rinse cup parents love for fuss-free bathing (no, really — their kids love it too!). Unlike a regular cup, this pitcher has two ways to pour: a light waterfall *or* a gentle, rain-like drizzle that'll keep the water out of your baby's eyes and be much less overwhelming. Reviewers say the 24-ounce size is better than having to refill a cup over and over again, and it has a comfortable grip even when your hands get wet and sudsy! A car gap filler (as seen on Shark Tank!) so you never again need to hear the *clunk* *clunk* *clunk* of your phone falling into the abyss. This simple yet genius invention molds to the side of your car seat and will catch every key, pen, and french fry so you don't have to squeeze your hand into a crevice that was simply not made to fit a hand. A nausea relief herbal inhaler if you've been wanting to get in on those windows-down, music-up cruises without the queasiness killing your vibe. This travel-sized tube is filled with natural oils like lavender, eucalyptus, and peppermint that can be breathed in or rubbed around your nostrils for a quick fix from motion sickness — or for some reviewers, anxiety. The Let Them Theory — raise your hand if you've ever stressed yourself out over things you can't control (🙋♀️). Written by motivational speaker and podcast host Mel Robbins, this self-help book uses a science-backed approach to help readers build tools that'll allow them to refocus on their own happiness and pursuits. She draws on research in neuroscience and psychology, and even reviewers who typically avoid the genre found themselves appreciating her casual voice and perspective. Some minty teeth whitening pens capable of bringing a little bit of sparkle ✨ to your pearly whites. The narrow tip design makes it easier to really get in the grooves of your teeth (unlike Crest Whitestrips, which slip and slide and hit your wallet a little harder). Also, reviewers say they're sensitive-friendly with quick results! As a Sensodyne user who loves her tea (unfortunately a sneaky culprit for staining)... I am adding to cart. A set of high-waisted seamless thongs that do 👏 not 👏 budge 👏 while being mega comfortable and breathable. The lining of the undies is cotton, but the body is a stretchy, moisture-wicking material that reviewers compare to (and even prefer over!) Victoria's Secret and Skims — especially because these actually give coverage. Even non-thong wearers love that they don't ride up and are nearly invisible under leggings! A longline sports bra so stretchy and buttery smooth, it may just become your new fave can-do-it-all athleisure top. It's got support without feeling tight and a moisture-wicking material that won't have you walking around with stains during your post-gym Target run — plus, if someone passes you in the aisles, they might just mistake it for one of Lulu's Align tanks (but you'll know it was a whole lot less 😉). Reviewers love it so much, they ended up stocking up in *lots* of colors (which are gorgeous, and don't fade in the wash, BTW). A three-pack of ceiling fan filters that may just be the answer to all your sneezing and puffiness. They're made of a coconut shell carbon that captures all that dust and pet dander thrown up by your fan *before* it has a chance to re-settle, and they have a peel-and-stick backing for easy-breezy installation (literally). They're perfect if you don't want to splurge on an air purifier (or don't like the clunkiness and maintenance) and still need something that'll make your air feel extra *crisp*. A cult-fave ChomChom pet hair roller with over 140,000 5-star ratings (!!) because I think all of us pet parents are a little tired of not being able to sit on our couches. This thing works (I saw all the hype and bought one for the cat hair in my home; I'm officially a ChomChom truther) — all it takes is some vigorous rolling on your surfaces, and they'll be fur-free! It's made of a sort of prickly fabric, not adhesive, so it's totally reusable *and* it cleanly stores all the hair in a chamber for easy tossing. Plus, a stain- and odor-eliminator spray that'll save you from the unimaginable: your fur bestie (enemy?) peeing on your couch. Reviewers say this pet-safe spray works like magic to eliminate odors and stains (yes, even the old, set-in ones) when nothing else would. It has a fresh, long-lasting orange scent, and even if there's no accident to clean, it's useful for warding off any animal ~aromas~ and keeping your home smelling fresh. The Pink Stuff, an internet-famous cleaning paste that has been described as "witchcraft" and an "actual miracle." This cleaning holy grail takes off years' worth of grime — with just a little bit of elbow grease, your pans, oven, sink, tiles, shower, and walls (seriously, it works anywhere) will be left sparkling *without* that overly chemical smell. If you have a stubborn stain somewhere that's been haunting you and will not come out, give this a try! A plug-in fly-trap, because of allll the places in the world, bugs want to be buzzing in your home and getting all up in your fruits. The hassle-free device emits a blue glow that lures in flying critters from up to 400 feet away, then captures them in its glue trap. Even with bugs getting caught by the dozens, the sleek device remains clean at the front, so you don't have to worry about the card for a whole month (or until it's full). Fair warning: It will catch bugs you had no idea lurked in your home, which is both reassuring and horrifying.
