Brandi Glanville Posts Shocking Video Using Nair to Fight Facial Parasites: Fans Left Deeply Concerned
Reality TV star Brandi Glanville is once again making headlines — but this time, it’s not about housewife drama or celebrity feuds. Instead, it’s a TikTok video that has her fans alarmed, health experts worried, and social media in a state of disbelief.
On August 3, the former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star posted a now-viral video showing her red, inflamed face and explaining that she used Nair, a chemical depilatory, on her face in an attempt to fight off a facial parasite she believes she’s been battling for months.
Her bold skincare experiment was met with a flurry of shock, concern, and confusion.
The Shocking TikTok
In the video, Brandi, 52, doesn't shy away from showing the raw aftermath of her experiment. With visibly irritated skin around her cheeks and chin, she deadpans:
“I know I look attractive.”
She continues with a tone of sarcasm mixed with bizarre optimism, saying:
“Good news, you guys don’t have to spend a lot of money on chemical peels and lasers anymore.”
Her unexpected beauty advice? Nair — the hair removal cream typically used on legs and arms — which she jokingly hails as “the fountain of youth.” But Glanville also issues a warning from experience:
“I figured it out, but I overdid it. Seven minutes. Don’t do it.”
In the caption of her TikTok, she claimed she had previously used Nair to burn off “loose skin” from her arms and praised its affordability. She also advised viewers to do a “test patch” first — though the advice rang hollow for many who were more alarmed than inspired.
Fans and Experts Sound the Alarm
As the video spread, concerned fans flooded the comments section with warnings and heartfelt pleas:
-
“Please do NOT put Nair on your face!!”
-
“Brandy, please don’t do anything that’s not recommended by a professional doctor.”
-
“This isn’t skincare. This is dangerous.”
-
“I have no words but praying for you, girl.”
Several fans pointed out that Nair’s own label explicitly warns against using the product on the face or any sensitive, sunburned, or broken skin. Doing so risks chemical burns, inflammation, and even permanent damage.
Is Brandi Glanville Battling Morgellons Disease?
Some followers offered their theories about what’s really going on with Brandi’s skin, with many speculating that she might be suffering from Morgellons disease — a controversial and misunderstood condition.
According to the Mayo Clinic, Morgellons is considered a form of delusional parasitosis, where individuals believe they are infested by parasites, mites, or worms despite no physical evidence supporting this.
It’s worth noting that Brandi has been open about a mysterious health struggle for several months. Back in December, she told Entertainment Tonight that she had been dealing with a parasite that caused swelling, disfigurement, and difficulty speaking. She shared that she underwent $10,000 worth of lab work and visited several specialists but still received no definitive diagnosis.
What Are Facial Parasites, Really?
While Morgellons remains controversial in the medical field, it is true that certain microscopic mites — particularly Demodex — are naturally found on almost every human face. In some rare cases, an overgrowth of these mites can lead to demodicosis, which may cause irritation or redness, especially in people with compromised immune systems or underlying skin conditions like rosacea.
However, experts stress that self-treating these conditions with products like Nair is not only ineffective but also dangerous.
Mental Health Concerns Surface
Many commenters took their concern further — beyond skin care and into mental health. Some fans gently urged Brandi to seek professional medical advice — not just dermatological but psychiatric as well, especially if she truly believes parasites are living in her skin without confirmation from tests.
Mental health professionals note that delusional parasitosis can be profoundly distressing and is often linked to past trauma, anxiety, or underlying psychiatric disorders. Compassionate treatment often includes therapy, support, and sometimes antipsychotic medication — not at-home chemical experiments.
Brandi’s Troubled History with Health and Public Scrutiny
This isn’t the first time Brandi Glanville’s health — or behavior — has drawn public attention. In the past, she has openly shared her struggles with body image, plastic surgery regrets, and various cosmetic procedures. As a reality star known for her blunt honesty and unfiltered takes, Brandi has often walked a fine line between transparency and controversy.
But this time, fans seem to be less entertained and more genuinely concerned for her well-being.
The Line Between Viral and Vulnerable
There’s no denying that social media has blurred the lines between authenticity and spectacle. Celebrities often post unfiltered glimpses into their lives to stay relevant, but when health becomes the punchline — things get murky.
Brandi’s latest video is a stark reminder of how influencers can unknowingly promote unsafe practices, even if joking. It's also a cry for help that many fans are recognizing beneath the sarcasm and dramatic delivery.
Final Thoughts
Whether Brandi Glanville’s Nair video was a misguided skincare hack, a cry for help, or a symptom of a larger issue, one thing is clear: health and mental wellness should never be left to social media trends.
Brandi deserves care, support, and professional guidance — not public ridicule or viral fame for dangerous experiments. Fans are hoping she takes the right steps toward healing, and that this video serves as a cautionary tale for others.
For now, let's hope Brandi listens to the concerned voices, puts down the Nair, and puts her health first — inside and out.
