2. Snail Facials:

How It Works: You might think we're crazy, but hear us out. Snail's mucus reportedly contains nutrients that are beneficial to our skin and results in a serious glow.

Cost: These treatments are extremely popular in Thailand but they are still growing in popularity in the US, so it can be hard to find a place where this treatment can be done. But, for $30 on Amazon you can buy Nature Republic Snail Therapy 50 BB Cream that is said to have similar results.

How It Works: If you're looking to plump your lips without getting any work done, peppermint oil could be the perfect solution. You can do this with a lip gloss and a lip brush or Q-tip.

Instead of having to have any plastic surgery, these trainers are said to slim your stomach. All you have to do is purchase a waist trainer and begin the process. According to Waist Gang Society, you should start wearing the corset 2-4 hours a day. "Gradually add an hour or two to your daily waist training regimen until you are able to wear the corset throughout the entire day. Wear the corset on the first set of clasps. Once the garment is worn-in you can then begin to use the second set of clasps making the corset tighter," the website says.
