Placentas. For Your Face.
We are assured on the package that this super-economy-size bag o’ face masks is chock full of placentas. Face rescuing placentas. Premium placentas.
Okay, sorry, I really can’t hold it in anymore. EEWWWW!
I didn’t think it was possible to beat snail slime, cobra venom and bee larvae as the I’d-prefer-the-red-hot-pincers facial treatments of choice, but this one is definitely a contender.
Saw these at Don Kihote store in Shibuya. If you’d like to be amazed by the weird goods there the next time you’re in Tokyo, a map to all Don Qi locations in Tokyo is on my other website, The Tokyo Guide I Wish I’d Had.

I was having lunch with my husband and a commercial for that stuff came on the TV over the bar. I had the same reaction as you. He didn’t know what placenta was so I explained. He nearly hurled.

I know, right? And do you ever get Facebook ads for a diet supplent drink called Fasty Placenta? I’ve been dying to do a blog post on it, but the website it points to doesn’t give any information besides making the usual claims to make you thin and live forever.
