The placenta is so en vogue this year. There is the whole practice of eating placenta (age old, but getting loads of attention as of late), then the placenta bear made its debut and now the latest and greatest placenta related happening is the placenta facial. Apparently, this baby-nourishing organ can also nourish the skin. Placenta facials are said to help with acne, rosacea, dull skin or any other skin malady you may be facing.
Beyond just facials, rugby players in Europe are reportedly using placenta treatments to help with injuries. Robin Van Persie, a Dutch player suffering from ruptured ligaments in the ankle, traveled to Belgrade to have his leg rubbed with fluid taken from a horse placenta.
If you are interested in a placenta facial, there are products available. Sunan Trading Co., Ltd., out of China has a sheep placenta cream available for purchase.

OOOOhhhh - When I was pregnant - my chinese speaking friend (I also speak mandarin) took me to a party of Chinese speaking acupunture students in San Francisco's Sunset District. When they saw the big fat pregnant Caucasian, they badgered me for 3 hours in Mandarin (throughout the whole party I couldn't get to eat enough of that delicious specialty chinese food to satisfy my starving pregnant rage)why won't you let us eat your placenta - you are going to throw it in the garbage - why will you do that when we want to eat it????????????
