Penis facials appear to be the new celebrity trend after Sandra Bullock confessed to undergoing the bizarre treatment.

And it looks like Underworld star Kate Beckinsale is following in her footsteps as she has just revealed her perfect complexion after having liquefied foreskins smeared on her face.

Sounds lovely.

Taking to Instagram, the 45-year-old shared a selfie and confessed in the caption that she had the procedure following a long-haul flight.


She wrote: ‘After a long flight I do like to lie down and be covered in a mask of liquefied cloned foreskins-frankly who doesn’t?

‘Thank you @georgialouisesk for an amazing facial. I especially liked you reassuring me it would be “light on penis” as it was my first time x’



Fans were quick to comment on her picture and seemed very grossed out by the treatment.

One wrote: ‘Frankly who doesn’t? That is the most disgusting thing I’ve read.’

Another added: ‘This treatment is utterly disgusting – both ethically and generally.’

While someone else joked: ‘These posts…. Keep them coming, pun intended.’ – Ha!

But what exactly is a penis facial?

Professionally known as an EGF (epidermal growth factor) facial, the treatment uses stem cells from the foreskins of circumcised Korean boys.

Stem cells work to encourage skin cells to turn over rapidly and regenerate, so they’re often used for brightening, exfoliating, and healing the skin – similarly to enzyme facials.

Once the stem cells are harvested from foreskins, they’re infused into the skin using a microneedling technique to stimulate regeneration and collagen production.

Sandra Bullock has previously opened up about her experience of having the facial while appearing on the Ellen DeGeneres show.

She said: ‘It’s this way in which one forces through microneedling… it pushes through the skin and ruptures the collagen and it boosts it. You look like a burns victim for about a day.’

Ellen then prompted her to explain what the serum contained, with Sandra saying: ‘Well, you push in whatever the facialist would like to insert into your pores. It is an extraction from a piece of skin that came from a young person far far away…’

But it was Ellen who announced what was in the serum: ‘It’s foreskin from a Korean baby.’

Sandra said: ‘I’m not lying there with little pieces all over my face.

‘I call it the penis facial. And when you see how good it is to your face, you too will run to your local facialist and say “give me the penis”.’

Georgia Louise who is the person behind the method, explained what the procedure involved on her treatment menu.

She said: ‘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.



‘FDA approved stem cells and peptides are penetrated deep into the skin using a special electric micro-needling wand. ‘

‘This process allows the active ingredients to be transported deep in the skin by creating temporary micro-channel.’
