She told the magazine: ‘He gets all clogged up - putting on make-up all the time and travelling a lot plays havoc with his skin.

The unusual treatment involves taking the placenta from prime New Zealand livestock - the stem cells, which are full of rich nutrients that fight free-radical skin damage, are extracted and then flash frozen.
除此之外還有一些不太常見的護膚方法，如注射一些源於新西蘭的上等牲畜胎盤素。人們從牲畜的胎盤素中提取出幹細胞，並迅速將這些幹細胞冷藏起來。這些幹細胞含有豐富的營養物質，能抵抗自由基（free-radical）對皮膚的傷害。
They are then mixed into a gel containing gold flecks which are slathered over the face after it has been exfoliated, exposed to steam and had pores opened by LED light from a handheld device.
接下來，人們會把這些幹細胞摻入含有黃金微粒的凝膠中。在手持LED燈的照射下，凝膠開始脫落，然後塗抹在經過蒸汽燻蒸、毛孔張開的面部上。
