Brandi Glanville just turned a DIY skincare moment into a full-on beauty disaster.
The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star shocked fans over the weekend after posting a now-viral TikTok showing graphic burns on her face—the result of using Nair, a chemical hair-removal cream, in an attempt to soothe symptoms from what she believes is a facial parasite.
🧴 Nair Meets Parasite — And It Didn’t End Well
In the clip, Brandi appears with red, blistering patches on her cheeks, chin, and nose—visibly raw and irritated.
“I know I look attractive,” she said sarcastically before adding,
“Good news: you don’t have to spend a lot of money on peels and lasers anymore!”
Her explanation? She applied Nair directly to her face because exfoliating seemed to aggravate the skin parasite she’s been battling for months.
“I figured out Nair is the fountain of youth,” she joked—before admitting, “I overdid it.”
⏳ Seven Minutes of Skin Trauma
Brandi admitted she left the Nair on for seven whole minutes, well beyond the recommended time—even for body hair removal.
“Do not try this at home,” she warned followers.
“This is what happens when you’re desperate and out of options.”
🧪 Chemical Burns, Arms Included
It wasn’t just her face that took a hit. Brandi claimed Nair also burned loose skin off her arms, causing even more discomfort. In her own words, the whole ordeal has turned into a “science project gone wrong.”
To treat the burns, the reality star says she’s been using a DIY healing mist made from:
- Aloe vera
- Cucumber juice
- Black tea
She showed off the homemade mix on TikTok, saying it’s been the only thing that offers some relief.
🏥 A Medical Mystery That’s Costing Her Big
This isn’t Brandi’s first skincare nightmare this year.
Back in April, she was hospitalized due to worsening symptoms from what she calls a “facial parasite.” She’s been seeking medical answers ever since—and claims the journey has drained her bank account.
“I’ve spent well over six figures trying to fix this,” she said.
“And I’m officially out of funds.”
The former Bravo star has been open about dissolving her facial fillers last year due to complications from the same parasite.
💬 Fans React: “This Is Scary, But Relatable”
Fans flooded Brandi’s TikTok with reactions ranging from supportive to concerned:
- “Omg girl you’re brave for posting this!”
- “Chemical burns are NO joke. Please heal safely.”
- “Nair on your face?! We love you but NO!”
Others commended her honesty and transparency—especially in a beauty-obsessed culture that often hides these kinds of missteps.
