In general, people have two kinds of looks. One is the hobo version, where you’re presentable enough to not scare yourself when you look at your own reflection. And the other is the sociable version where you’re presentable enough to not scare everyone else. What’s the difference between them? A good bath.
Now, until this point, I thought that that was the case with Hollywood actresses as well. Because, you know, they’re humans like us. But it turns out that they’re procedure for looking good is way different and way weirder.
According to Indian Express, Kate Beckinsale recently posted a photo boasting about her, for lack of a better word, penis facial. However, after facing severe flak, she took it down. She had said,
“After a long flight I do like to lie down and be covered in a mask of liquified cloned foreskins – frankly who doesn’t?”
If you need a moment to let that sink in or if you want to bring a bucket (because what’s next might make you puke), please take your time and do it.
All set? Okay. So, apparently the secret behind Kate Beckinsale is a Rs 45, 925 facial that involves a serum containing the “liquefied foreskins” of circumcised South Korean baby boys. Why South Korean baby boys? To be honest, I don’t know and I don’t want to know.
By the way, she’s not the only one who does this. Others who use the “penis facial” are Emma Stone, Katy Perry, Sandra Bullock and Cate Blanchett. According to The Cut, Blanchett said,
“Sandy Bullock and I saw this facialist in New York, Georgia Louise, and she gives what we call the penis facial and it’s something — I don’t know what it is, or whether it’s just ’cause it smells a bit like sperm — there’s some enzyme in it so Sandy refers to it as the penis facial.”
Well, there you go. Now you know what it smells like.
So, is there a method behind this madness? Or are these people just doing it on a whim? Well, according to NY-based celebrity facialist, Georgia Louise, there are some benefits,
“The facial includes a cleanse, followed by an intensive TCA peel, micro-needling machine and an electrifying mask to calm the skin, followed by her ‘secret box’ of EGF serum (Epidermal Growth Factor). EGF is derived from the progenitor cells of the human fibroblast taken from Korean newborn baby foreskin – which helps to generate collagen and elastin.”
This means that the next time you see Kate Beckinsale or Cate Blanchett or Katy Perry’s skin glowing on screen, just know that you’re looking at penis foreskin serum.
So, are you up for spending around Rs. 50,000 to put foreskin serum on your face and look as good as all the above mentioned stars? Or will you make do with Lux sabun?
