The 'penis facial' is the newest beauty trend celebrities are trying.
Penis facials are the newest bizarre beauty practice celebrities are admitting to.
While its formal name is the Hollywood EGF facial, the treatment lives up to its moniker, considering it relies on progenitor cells taken from Korean newborn baby foreskin to "rejuvenate" the face-skin of those undergoing the procedure.
The penis facial's famous clientele include Sandra Bullock and Cate Blanchett, the latter of whom shared with Vogue Australia that the treatment smelled "a bit like sperm."
Some stars put hemorrhoid cream under their eyes.
Some stars swear that hemorrhoid cream can get rid of the puffy bags under your eyes.
"My favorite beauty-pageant secret: I didn’t realize that putting hemorrhoid ointment on your face is acceptable in the beauty business," Sandra Bullock said back in 2005, at the premiere of "Miss Congeniality 2." "But apparently butt cream does help lines around the eyes."
Bullock is hardly the first star to utilize the cream for beauty purposes. Kim Kardashian's make-up artist also recommends the treatment, despite the ointment's purported stench.
For skin tightening purposes, some celebrities have turned to placenta-based beauty products.
The placenta is a large, flat organ that develops in a person's uterus during pregnancy; it functions as a life support system for fetuses, providing it with nutrients through the umbilical cord.
Some believe that topical application of placenta-based products helps smooth out skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles, due to their high collagen levels.
According to Mirror, Simon Cowell has tried the treatment, saying that "I also had a sheep placenta facial once, which was quite out there."
