Celebrities are known to take questionable measures to maintain their exceptional hotness. Gwyneth Paltrow intentionally subjected herself to bee stings. Victoria Beckham smeared her face with a cream made from her own blood. Demi Moore used “highly trained medical leeches” for some purported detoxification effect.
The latest celebrity-backed beauty secret, though, is a product anyone can buy off the web or at a Target: powderized cow colostrum from the brand Armra. Jennifer Aniston takes a scoop with “room temperature water and a whole lemon squeezed into it” each morning, she told People in January 2025. In April, Selling Sunset star Chelsea Lazkani showed her hundreds of thousands of TikTok followers how she takes her Armra, which she called “the secret to my healthy glowy skin,” in a video viewed more than 100,000 times. In June, Vogue published singer Dua Lipa’s pre-yoga routine of sipping Armra’s Immune Revival powder mixed with water and electrolytes. And lest anyone think Paltrow wasn’t in on this trend, she was in fact ahead of it: She interviewed Armra’s chief executive officer on the Goop podcast in August 2024.
