We can't improve on the lead: A Japanese festival "dating back to ancient times is growing increasingly popular with Japan's adult movie fans because it involves smearing gooey, white liquid all over the faces of participants." Whatever your motives, the Oshiroi Festival, held December at the Oyamazumi Shrine in the prefecture of Fukuoka, sounds like a blast -- and that goo is even said to be good for your skin (where have we heard that one before?).
