Want Clear Skin? Try Peeing on Your Face!

Talk about things that make you go "Bleech!" Introducing the "Facial Pee" (as I like to tactlessly call it) the facial astringent regimen that requires little more than a glass of water, a washcloth, and a bathroom. Oh yeah, and your extremely open mind and natural bodily function. Bear with me now, for your acne-ridden woes may very well be over once you've read this. Or you may just decide that pimples don't seem so bad after all considering the treatment you COULD be going through to correct them.

"Facial Peeing" is exactly what it sounds like it is. It is the act of relieving yourself (aim is pretty damn important) into a washcloth (a cotton ball was recommended by my source, but I recommend the washcloth, unless it's a HUGE honkin cotton ball) and applying the hot, yellow ysaturated mass directly to your freshly washed and scrubbed face. The reasoning behind all this is that apparently urine has a high acidity, but being of a natural substance can be applied directly to one's own face without the harsh chemicals and fillers of your typical astringent and not cause allergic reactions, rashes, and all other side effects that your traditional facial astringents can afflict on us.

However, I can think of one side effect of putting your pee on your own face- it's GROSS. (and smelly, I might add- in a salty/sweet sort of way, somewhat like the way boiling honey smells). Granted, the actual users of "facial pee" claim that it really does act as an excellent form of facial sloughing and tightening and takes actual control of shine and acne producing oils (without the common drying of the skin, I'll add). So it sounds tempting, but who is likely to try it?
