[quote=ninemsn]A controversial skin care product made from the placenta of human babies has become the latest craze in anti-ageing treatment.
When the product is applied to an adult face, the skin begins to mimic the collagen in the baby placenta, Sky News reports.
The new procedure is becoming popular in Dubai, with new customers walking into British beauty therapist Mona Mirza's clinic every day.
"The main reason why human placenta is effective is because it is bio-identical to our own physiology," she said.
The American company that provides the placenta said the product is taken voluntarily from the afterbirth of Russian babies.
Beauty therapists in some European clinics have used the placenta of sheep or horses for a similar treatment.
Celebrities like Victoria Beckham, Jennifer Lopez and Simon Cowell have reportedly taken part in the anti-ageing treatment.

I expected something completely different
:wtc:
Kinky.
I expected people rubbing placenta fresh out of a mother on their face.
I do this, I'm 19 going on 13
Simon Cowell got baby placenta smeared on his face?
Umm...
Don't placentas have a certain amount of stem cells in them?
If so I can think of many sick people around the world who'd need the treatment rather than them.
Its gross but I can understand how it would enrich and nourish the skin with the high nutrient placenta.

I don't know why but that made me laugh.
:barf:
I don't even want to think of the smell, taste, feel, and look of having a placenta rubbed on your face.
That's, uh... odd.
I think it's disgusting but hey, why not do something useful with the placenta. Many animals eat it for the nutrients and with humans, it just gets thrown away.

Yeah, we should be saving these placenta's, we don't have a large supply of them.
I mean, it's not like people give birth every day.
:byodood:
As long as the women are paid fairly then it's all ok.
Oooh shit,it's becoming popular in THE COUNTRY I LIVE IN?
And I though people here were sane.
Why the hell do I have a bad spelling?I see no bad spelling.
