Yes, I was just as shocked as you and no this is not some sick joke. According to the latest beauty studies putting ones own urine on their face can help boost immunity to disease thanks to its antibacterial and anti-fungal properties. Some women who are uncomfortable peeing into a cup and then massaging the pee into their pores can choose to blend their own urine in with their moisturizer – the testimonials have been incredible. Resulting in a smoother than silk skin texture women have sworn by this beauty regime for centuries. Putting pee on your face is also known as urine therapy and has historical roots in ancient Egypt, China and India, according to Martha Christy, author of In Your Own Perfect Medicine. If you have a break out or get one little monster who just won’t go away maybe give this urine therapy thing a whirl, after all it can’t hurt 🙂
