What It Is: The “Hollywood EGF Facial”, otherwise known as the “Penis Facial” thanks to stars like Sandra Bullock and Cate Blanchett, who both swear by it for radiant, glowy skin

Who Tried It: Jillian Ruffo, Associate Beauty Editor

Why We Tried It: Let me ask you this: Would you pass up the chance to have skin that looks as smooth as Blanchett or Bullock’s? (We didn’t think so.)

Level of Difficulty: 2, if you factor in very mild pain and upkeep

It all started back in March, when Blanchett opened up about her skincare secret: a special facial at esthetician Georgia Louise‘s New York City skincare atelier, which Bullock turned her on to. She called it the “Penis Facial” — which, after further investigation, we learned got its name from the treatment’s ingredients. And on Thursday’s episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Bullock explained not only why the treatment is so good, but also the reason behind the name.

Bullock explains that through a microneedling technique, the facial boosts collagen by enabling serums, including an epidermal growth factor (or EGF) serum to seep deeper into the skin. The serum, she tells DeGeneres, is “an extraction from a piece of skin that came from a young person far, far away.” But as DeGeneres bluntly points out, the EGF is derived from “foreskin from a Korean baby.”

More ‘spirit cooking’ it you ask me. As in the days of Noah.

😹. Let it begin. The commentary on this one could get some folks tossed in FR jail. All this talk of foreskins to the face. Ready, set, go!

[Tax-chick]

Revolting.

Anyone can have skin that looks like celebrities’. All it takes is a publisher who’s good with photo-editing software.

I wonder if Hollywood “starlets” know that it would work even better if they got it from the kid *before* he was born.

[Roman_War_Criminal]

Dude...that this topic is even discussed & printed makes me think this world is a living HELL.

The vast majority of people have absolutely lost their minds!

Same principle as Elizabeth Báthory.

Careful if you brush your hand up against her smooth cheek, she you look back at your with a puffed cheek looking like it’s full of chewin’ tobacco.

Can't speak for others but *I* won't do it.The only comments I'll make about this piece are to address the utter amorality and depravity of showbiz "stars".

They try to tell us that experiments with fetal stem cells are just using parts that are gonna be thrown out anyhow.

Except if it all becomes something “successful” and marketed, they will have to grow and harvest a steady supply of fetal cells.

The only drawbacks are that they keep peeing their pillows and waking up 3 or 4 times a night crying for warm milk.
