FFS. Is there nothing these vacuous celebrities won’t do chasing youth and beauty? Apparently not:

And this really is cloned baby foreskin, in case you thought that headline was clickbait. From the article:

“The foreskin is collected during circumcision and the stem cells are then harvested and extracted through a centrifuge,” she told THR. “I am always very mindful to explain radical serums and potions that I carry in my back bar, so I always explain that EGF is derived from newborn baby foreskin, but cells were taken and from that, new cells are cloned from a laboratory.”

These celebrities have nicknamed it a “penis facial,” but not because of the foreskin. They call it that because of the, well … the smell:

Blanchett herself wasn’t quite clear on why it was nicknamed the penis facial — maybe the smell?

“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,'” she told Vogue Australia.
