Placenta Facials

Ladies how would you feel if your placentas were being used to produce creams which the filthy rich were using as moisturisers for facials? Would you even give a damn where your baby’s placenta went?

*‘Inside, the beautician explains that because the placenta nourishes the baby in the womb, the same nutrients would also work wonders for my skin.’ *

*Bonkers? Perhaps, but expensive bonkers, at £300 a go. *

Was Carla convinced? ‘I was looking around for a glass jar with something medical inside floating in fluid, but instead was presented with a tub of what looked like moisturiser (extract of placenta)’

Apparently after trying everything from normal creams to caviar creams for facials, Placenta Facials with creams having extracts of the placenta is the next big thing!:k: It leaves your skin really plumped as well:k:

Re: Placenta Facials

ewwwwwwwww - I heard in some cultures they actually eat it because it's so nutrious.

Re: Placenta Facials

Re: Placenta Facials

yeh, i think its pretty gross but im guessing they just extract something out of the placenta, and do not use the whole thing, but not sure.

anyhoo, in japan, they have very pricey bird poop facials, that is something i would never even consider. but japanese women do have amazing skin.

Re: Placenta Facials

Japanese women are crazy :hayaa:

Re: Placenta Facials

has anyone tried to find out the physiology of how babies get nutrition inside the womb and what's the role of placenta?placenta being 'nutritious' makes no sense at all!

Re: Placenta Facials

Re: Placenta Facials

SumoRani - It’s knightingale poop, but it’s ‘cleansed’ before it’s used.. i’ve had one of these facials… i saw nothing more than what a normal facial can do… :konfused:

Placentophagia (the process of eating the placenta) is commonplace in a lot of cultures, however, as a lot of doctors have concurred, it is usually animal that eat the placenta for nourishment; humans who are already well nourished do not need to eat it as there is no benefit and tbh no reason to do it.

PS: Try snail gel cream, apparently it works wonders :hmmm:
