Has anyone heard of the crazy list of anti-aging products? Did you know that there’s a cheap list and expensive list? The expensive list includes leeches, bird poop, bee venom, sperm face masks, and urine. But as of lately, scientists have added placentas to the sought after list.
Via NY Daily News:
A new survey carried out by MyVoucherCodes.co.uk quizzed 2,173 British women aged 30 and over about their relationship with anti-aging products.
Ninety-one percent of the women polled said they were worried about the effects of age on their looks and 75 percent said they were already using products designed to fight the clock. On average Brits are willing to spend at least £250 (around $375) every year on anti-aging treatments, including products and procedures.
The survey also asked women which unusual treatments they would be willing to try out if for free. It was the placenta face mask which topped the popularity poll, closely followed by bee venom and so-called ‘vampire’ facials, which uses a patient’s own blood to create a platelet-rich plasma that is then applied to the face.
