Celebrities will go to extreme lengths for beauty, and Cate Blanchett’s “penis facial” treatment takes the cake. This eyebrow-raising procedure involves the foreskins of newborn Korean babies. Blanchett spilled the beans on her unique skincare routine during an interview with Vogue Australia, recounting her experience with fellow actor Sandra Bullock at a New York facialist’s office.
The treatment, officially known as an Epidermal Growth Factor facial, uses cells derived from newborn baby foreskin to promote collagen production, heal scar tissue, and treat pigmentation and sun damage. Despite its shocking origins, beauty expert Georgia Louise assures that only clone EGF cells from a laboratory are used in the process.
For those brave enough to give it a try, Hollywood EGF kits are available for purchase on the Georgia Louise website for $415.00. While the treatment’s NSFW nickname may not be advertised on the site, it’s safe to say this facial will be forever known as the “penis facial” in popular culture.
Whether you’re intrigued or horrified by this bizarre beauty trend, one thing is for sure: when it comes to flawless skin, celebrities will stop at nothing to achieve their desired glow.
