Sperm Skin Treatments

Snail and Sperm Facials Help Rejuvenate the Skin

— April 23, 2010 — Lifestyle
Ladies, our worst nightmare has possibly come true.  If you have ever had your man give you this line about his ‘baby batter,' “But it’s good for your skin!," he may actually be partially correct. On March 4th, 2010, on the TV show ‘The Doctors,' Dr. Drew Ordon (plastic surgeon) discussed new age forms of ‘extreme’ facials with Kym Douglas (author of, The Beauty Cookbook). Two of the four extreme facials stood out the most: sperm facials and snail facials.

First, the sperm facial. Now, to the ladies who are getting anxious and to the men who are undoubtedly getting excited, to be clear, please note that this is ‘synthesized’ sperm, not live sperm (sorry boys!). Douglas explains how synthesized sperm will--are you ready?--soothe and leave your skin feeling moisturized, treat sun damage and of course, smooth away those nasty wrinkles! Can you believe it?!

Next, snail facials. This facial is made out of snail secretions. Yes, you read right--it is made of snail excrement. As Douglas points out, snail secretions will help open up clogged pores as well as stimulate growth of collagen and elastin to tighten up your face!

So what do you think ladies? Are you game enough to try?
