Cate Blanchett and Sandra Bullock Got “Penis Facials,” and We’re as Confused as You Are
8 years ago Lily GarnerIs the "penis facial" a new skincare must have? In an interview with Vogue Australia, Cate Blanchett revealed that she and her Ocean's 8 costar Sandra Bullock visited facialist Georgia Louise in New York for the "penis facial."
The official name for the facial is the Hollywood EGF Facial, and EGF stands for Epidermal Growth Factor. As Cate explained, "It smells a bit like sperm because of an enzyme, so Sandy [Sandra Bullock] refers to it as the penis facial."
But it gets weirder. Georgia explained to People that "EGF is derived from the progenitor cells of the human fibroblast taken from Korean newborn baby foreskin during circumcision." The cells are then cloned in a laboratory. These stem cells are penetrated into the skin using a microneedling tool, which makes the treatment more effective in generating new collagen and elastin. There you have it, friends. That's the penis facial, and it will set you back a hefty $650. And we thought our snail mucin cream was weird.
