Brandi Glanville’s DIY Nair Mishap Leaves Her Face Flaming Red
Hi, I’m Riley Carter. Another day, another beauty blunder that you just have to see to believe.
Brandi Glanville, famously of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, found herself in a heated situation this weekend and not in a glamorous way. In a graphic TikTok clip posted Sunday, the reality star revealed bright red, blotchy burns across her cheeks, chin, and nose after a DIY experiment went sideways. The culprit? Nair hair removal cream—applied directly to her face to combat a stubborn facial parasite.
According to Glanville, the inspiration struck after traditional exfoliation only made her condition flare up. “Nair is the fountain of youth. I figured it out,” she quipped in the video, before realizing she’d seriously overextended the product. She left the cream on for a full seven minutes, which resulted in chemical burns severe enough to leave loose skin peeling off her arms. Footage from her TikTok shows her gingerly touching her injured skin while warning followers not to try this at home.
The ordeal is just the latest chapter in Glanville’s ongoing battle with a facial parasite she first disclosed last year. She revealed on social media that her symptoms worsened dramatically in April, leading to a hospital stay. Medical records leaked to TMZ indicate her treatment costs have exploded into the six-figure range, forcing her to acknowledge she’s tapped out financially.
In classic millennial fashion, Glanville offered a homemade remedy to soothe the pain: a spritz of aloe vera, cool cucumber slices, and steeped black tea. “It’s like a spa day—except you almost ruined your face,” she joked, though she stressed that this quick fix is no substitute for professional care.
Fans responded with equal parts shock and sympathy, flooding the comments with well-wishes and incredulous questions. While some praised her raw honesty, others warned against taking beauty advice from anyone—even a reality TV veteran—without consulting a doctor first.
Her story raises broader questions about the lengths influencers go to chase skin perfection and the DIY trends that go viral without much oversight. What starts as a money-saving hack can end up costing far more when things go wrong.
Stay tuned for updates on Glanville’s recovery and whether she’ll consult a dermatologist or stick to her unconventional hacks. Until then, maybe think twice before slathering chemical hair remover on your face.
Okay cool, so like, yeah, that happened.
