Victoria Beckham splashes £1,200 on anti-ageing face cream made from her own blood
The moisturiser is an invention by US celebrity medic Dr Barbara Sturm, who is known for her 'vampire facials'
VICTORIA Beckham has splashed £1,200 on a moisturiser made with her own blood.
The gory gloop, which boasts anti-ageing properties, is the invention of US celebrity medic Dr Barbara Sturm.
It got Posh’s pulse racing when she first saw it at Sturm’s clinic in Dusseldorf, Germany, last week.
The fashion designer, 44, was treating daughter Harper, seven, to facials at the time.
Victoria said: “Dr Sturm took my blood and created healing factors made by my own cells, which is highly anti-inflammatory and regenerative.
“I’ll be testing it out this week both morning and night!”
The treatment, called MC1, is made for clients after some of their blood is removed during a consultation.
Dr Sturm takes a sample to her lab to make a small, 50ml pot of cream.
The rest is frozen for future orders.
She made her name from “endogamous blood therapy” — known as vampire facials.
The medic claims that MC1 takes advantage of blood’s ability to heal the body.
Before making the cream, she feeds the client’s blood through a syringe containing metal beads, which it apparently thinks are “wounds”.
This is said to produce the healing proteins IL-1 and TGF-beta, which reduce inflammation, strengthen tissue and promote collagen growth.
Last week Victoria posted a video of her removing a £118 Sturm facemask after sleeping in it overnight.
She also showed off photos of herself and Harper at the clinic.
Sturm’s skincare range is also popular with Gwyneth Paltrow, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Kim Kardashian.
