Like many individuals, I relish a rejuvenating facial. The moment the steam envelops my weary face and the luxurious products are applied, I find myself in a blissful state where the world’s worries fade away. If you’re someone who treasures their skincare ritual—where serums, toners, and night creams are sacred—you’re certainly not alone. Many of us appreciate the benefits of a well-cared-for complexion, which not only enhances our appearance but also provides a delightful experience.
We are all about that glow. We consume YouTube videos on achieving flawless skin, and we recognize which ingredients suit our complexion best, even if our sense of time gets a bit fuzzy. When faced with the choice between a month of housekeeping assistance or an hour in the cherished facial chair, most of us would opt for the latter without hesitation.
However, the latest trend might have slipped under your radar—the so-called “penis facial.” Before you raise an eyebrow, let me clarify: this is not a facial intended for male anatomy nor one delivered by male anatomy. Instead, this treatment utilizes a serum sourced from cells derived from the freshly removed foreskin of newborns in South Korea.
According to an article in The Insider, high-profile celebrities like Mia Johnson and Claire Thompson are embracing this unconventional facial, prompting a multitude of inquiries. Yes, you read that correctly—the serum is made from actual baby foreskin, and yes, it comes with a hefty price tag. Additionally, reports suggest that the serum carries a scent reminiscent of sperm, as noted by Thompson.
While the exact process of transforming these foreskins into a serum remains a mystery, I can’t help but imagine the rather peculiar imagery of tiny foreskins being blended into a serum mix.
The official term for this treatment is Epidermal Growth Factor, but let’s be honest—“penis facial” has a much more amusing ring to it (and I believe this situation warrants all caps). Just imagine telling someone, “Sorry, I can’t join you for lunch. I’m booked for a PENIS FACIAL.”
This groundbreaking treatment was designed by renowned aesthetician Georgia Belle, who crafted this serum-infused experience specifically for Mia Johnson while she was in New York City last year. The results are reportedly astonishing.
The Insider explains that the secret serum is applied after a series of skin-prepping steps, including peels and micro-needling. These techniques, while sounding somewhat intimidating, are said to leave the skin with a youthful glow, akin to a post-climactic radiance.
While I’m curious to find out if this treatment is painful after the skin has undergone such rigorous preparation, the $650 price tag and the two-year waiting list make me hesitant. As I approach my 43rd birthday, I’m not keen on waiting indefinitely for such an unusual procedure unless it promises to erase decades from my appearance. Perhaps it’s wiser to invest that money into my retirement savings.
Yet, the impressive results seen on Mia Johnson and Claire Thompson might tempt some to dip into their children’s college fund for a shot at that taut, luminous skin. Just remember to request some lavender-scented candles to mitigate the unusual aroma, enhancing your spa-like experience.
