Tom Cruise has placenta-based facials

Tom Cruise‘s beauty secret has been revealed and it’s not pretty!

According to a new report, the actor, 49, has enlisted the services of a beautician to give him placenta-based facials in the run-up to next month’s Oscars.

“Tom loves it because it keeps him looking young,” a source said.

Tom who turns 50 in July, 2012 recently insisted getting older won’t slow him down.

“I feel good,” said Cruise, who is back on screens in Mission: Impossible 4.

“I just did Rock of Ages and I felt good. I feel very lucky to still be doing this and to still be able to do it the way I want. I’m excited about turning 50 but it won’t change me.”
