What Happened?
In a recent TikTok video, Glanville showed off her inflamed and chemically burned skin, explaining she had applied Nair to the lower half of her face, believing it would help kill a parasite she named “Caroline.”
“I know I look attractive,” she joked. “But I overdid it.”
She left the cream on for seven minutes, resulting in painful burns.
“Nair Is the Fountain of Youth”?
Brandi sarcastically referred to Nair as a beauty hack, implying it could replace peels and lasers—but soon admitted the mistake.
“Beauty hacks. Don’t try this at home. Seriously.”
Public Reaction: Concern and Criticism
The video sparked concern on social media. Fans responded with alarm:
- “Brandi, you should know better!”
- “Who is checking on this woman?”
- “Please do NOT put Nair on your face!!”
Many encouraged her to consult a licensed medical professional instead of using DIY treatments.
Ongoing Health Struggles
Brandi has been battling mysterious facial health issues since mid-2024:
- Hospitalized in April 2025 with neck immobility and pain.
- Reported “painful lumps” and facial swelling.
- Doctors speculated about parasites or stress-induced edema.
️ “I Blame Bravo”
Glanville has linked her medical issues to her controversial exit from *Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip* after being accused of inappropriate behavior by Caroline Manzo.
“I personally say it’s Bravo.”
A Cry for Help
Brandi has been publicly asking for a committed doctor who would take her case seriously—not just for her, but for others suffering similar unexplained symptoms.
“I just wanna find a doctor who makes it his mission to help me.”
⚠️ Final Thoughts: The Danger of DIY Skincare
Brandi’s story is a clear warning: avoid trying unapproved beauty hacks, especially on your face. Always check with a professional before using harsh chemicals like Nair.
Reminder: Chemical products meant for body hair should never be applied to the face.
