Reality TV star Brandi Glanville is recovering from a painful beauty mishap that left her face badly burned… all in an effort to fight off a mysterious skin parasite.
In a raw and revealing TikTok posted Sunday, the former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills personality showed the aftermath of using Nair… yes, the hair removal cream… as an unconventional exfoliant. Her face appeared red, blotchy, and visibly inflamed across her nose, cheeks, and chin.
“I know I look cute,” she joked sarcastically, before warning followers, “But hey, you won’t need to waste money on peels and lasers anymore!”
Brandi explained that traditional exfoliants aggravated what she claims is a stubborn facial parasite she’s been battling. In a bold move, she turned to Nair, believing it might be a skincare shortcut… but instead, it became a chemical nightmare. Leaving the product on for seven minutes resulted in serious burns and blistering.
“It even burned the loose skin off my arms,” she admitted. “Please don’t try this at home.”
In her quest for healing, she recommended a DIY recovery spray made from aloe vera, cucumber, and black tea to calm the damage. Despite the pain, Brandi hasn’t lost her sense of humor… or determination.
The reality star previously revealed she’s been fighting a facial parasite for over a year, and she was even hospitalized in April due to worsening symptoms. She says the journey has not only been physically draining, but financially devastating… claiming she’s spent over six figures and has now run out of funds.
Still, Brandi remains open about her health struggles, continuing to share her story in hopes of finding answers… and maybe helping someone else avoid her painful lesson.
