Miranda Kerr loves leech facials so much, she even keeps them as pets
You know your beauty regime is a little out there when Gwyneth Paltow thinks it's weird.
Well, that's exactly what she thought when her good friend, Miranda Kerr revealed she loves leech facials.
The former Victoria's Secret model shared her love for the blood-sucking worms during GOOP's first ever wellness summit in Culver City, California.
Speaking on a panel, the 34-year-old said, “Have you tried leech therapy?”, only to be met by gasps of horror from the audience.
The skincare technique involves placing leeches on your face and letting them suck out some blood before spreading it around your skin, and honestly, we have never heard of anything less appealing.
“It’s adventurous,” she added.
No, Miranda, it's just bloody weird.
For hygiene reasons, the leeches cannot be used twice and it is common for them to be killed after being used.
However, not content with killing innocent leeches in the name of beauty, Miranda decided to keep hers as pets.
“I kept the leeches, they’re in my koi pond. You’re not allowed to reuse them and if you don’t take them home then she kills them and I didn’t like that idea.”
Well, at least they're going to a good home.
