Last year, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum Brandi Glanville shocked fans with a disturbing health update — a sudden and unexplained facial disfigurement that had people asking questions.
On December 4th, the reality star posted a selfie on social media that revealed visible swelling and changes to her face. When a fan asked, “What happened to your face?” Glanville clapped back, saying, “Some Dr.’s say I have a parasite that jumps around my face. Some say it’s stress-induced edema. I personally say it’s Bravo.”

Welp, while she might’ve blamed Bravo for her troubles then, this latest incident falls squarely on a DIY skincare experiment gone horribly wrong.
In a new TikTok video that’s quickly gone viral, the 52-year-old reality star revealed she now has severe chemical burns on her face — and it’s all because she tried to kill off what she believes is a facial parasite by using Nair.
“I know I look attractive,” she joked through the pain. “Good news: you don’t have to spend a lot of money on peels and lasers anymore.”
Glanville admitted to applying Nair — yes, the hair removal cream — across the lower half of her face in hopes of exfoliating and disrupting the parasite. Instead, the reaction left her skin raw and inflamed.
“Nair is the fountain of youth. I figured it out,” the Big Brother star said sarcastically. “But I overdid it.”
She then warned her followers:
“Don’t do what I did. Always do a test patch.”
Currently, it’s still unclear what kind of parasite — if any — has been causing her skin issues in the first place. But fans have been flooding her comments with love, prayers, and some real advice (which, let’s be clear, doesn’t involve using Nair as a skin treatment).
