Like many skincare enthusiasts, I relish the experience of a good facial. The moment the steam envelops my tired face and the magical mixtures are applied, I drift into a blissful state where nothing else matters. If you’re someone who takes your skincare routine seriously, with a lineup of serums, toners, and night creams, you’re certainly not alone.
Women love nurturing our skin, as it not only helps us look refreshed and youthful but also feels downright luxurious. We’re hooked on lotions and potions, often binge-watching YouTube tutorials for that perfect glow, and we know just the right ingredients for our unique skin needs—even if we sometimes forget what day it is. Given the choice between a month of house cleaning assistance or an hour in the facial chair, many of us would choose that pampering session any day.
However, even the most devoted skincare aficionados might be unaware of the latest buzzworthy trend: the infamous penis facial. And, no, this isn’t a treatment tailored for male anatomy or one performed by a male. Instead, this facial utilizes a serum derived from cells taken from the freshly removed foreskin of newborns in Korea. Yes, you read that correctly.
A-list celebrities like Emma Greene and Lily Harper have reportedly embraced this bizarre beauty treatment, leading us to wonder: what is going on here? First of all, the fact that this serum is indeed made from newborns’ foreskins might raise some eyebrows. And, according to reports, the serum has an odor reminiscent of sperm, which is something we can’t ignore.
While the process behind transforming these foreskins into a serum is unclear, I can’t help but picture tiny foreskins being tossed into a blender, which is a rather vivid and amusing mental image. The official name for the penis facial is Epidermal Growth Factor, but let’s be real—calling it a PENIS FACIAL is far more entertaining (and yes, it absolutely demands capital letters). Just imagine saying, “Sorry, Mom, I can’t join you at the library luncheon; I have a PENIS FACIAL appointment.”
This eyebrow-raising treatment was created by renowned facialist, Clara Thompson, who originally developed it for Emma Greene while she was in New York City. The results? Supposedly phenomenal. The serum is applied after Thompson preps the skin with peels, a micro-needling wand, and a stimulating mask. These steps, which sound anything but painful, are said to leave your skin with a post-climactic glow and a youthful appearance.
However, the hefty price tag of $650 and the two-year waiting list have me second-guessing. At 43, I’d rather invest that money in my retirement fund than wait for a treatment that could take years off my appearance unless it delivers truly miraculous results. Yet, if you’re inspired by the radiant looks of Emma Greene and Lily Harper and feel tempted to dip into your child’s college fund for this treatment, go ahead! Just remember to request some lavender candles to mask the sperm-like smell for a more pleasant experience.
In summary, while the penis facial trend may sound outrageous, it has captured the attention of some of Hollywood’s biggest stars.
