"  Every week I do a &amp;quot;Cosmo Challenge&amp;quot; for  Cosmo Radio on Sirius 111 and XM 162. Think of me as the guinea pig who tries out all the crazy trends-going to The Hustler Club with my boyfriend, giving up texting for seven days, getting Vajazzled. I&amp;#039;ve done some wacky stuff, but last week was my wildest challenge yet...  Yes, I got a sperm facial. No, I&amp;#039;m not talking about that. It&amp;#039;s not a euphemism. I actually got a sperm facial. Literally. Here&amp;#039;s the deal: Spermine is one of the, uh, ingredients in sperm and it&amp;#039;s super high in anti-oxidants. It&amp;#039;s supposed to slow down aging and people say it helps with acne. Some lab figured out how to synthesize the stuff (that means they&amp;#039;re not real swimmers, but rather are factory made.) And now spermine facials are big in Europe-oh those wild Euros-and they&amp;#039;re gaining popularity in the U.S.   I got one at the swanky Townhouse Spa in New York City. (The going rate of a sperm facial? $250 And-oh my god-if one more guy says, &amp;quot;I woulda given you a sperm facial for free!&amp;quot; I just might scream.) The whole thing was surprisingly normal. Had I not known what was being applied to my face, it would have felt like any other facial. It lasted just over an hour, but the spermine was on me for only 10 minutes.   My skin felt very smooth and moisturized immediately. And a few days later I noticed it was clearer. And if nothing else, at least I have a great addition for when my friends and I playing &amp;quot;Never have I ever\u2026&amp;quot;  If it weren&amp;#039;t $250, would you do a sperm facial? Or would it weird you out too much? What&amp;#039;s the craziest beauty treatment you&amp;#039;ve ever done or want to try? (Anyone ever try that bird droppings facial or that pedicure where the fish nibble at your toes?)
