I googled some interesting info on urine as moisturizer and many studies showed that urine is in fact the best moisturizer known to men.

Um only because it contains a little bit of urea......but urea is only a so-so moisturizer (humectant), nothing to write home about....

It's sad that you guys are so desprate to find a cure that you resort to putting excriment on your faces....eeeewww.........

What does excriment mean? But if you mean it's a waste product then you are totally wrong. There are proper ways of applying urine on your face. By not applying urine properly, you will probably get results you don't want.

Actually urine is a waste product. It's the product of out bodies' excratory systems....hence the term excriment. It's the stuff that our kidneys filter out of our blood (toxins and other water soluble metabolites of medication, vitamins, even foods....it also contains excess salts....biliruben....and urea....the metobloic end produt of ammonia.....in additon it's mostly water (depending on how much water you drink). How is this supposed to do anyting for acne????

I don't get it..... :wall:

I would never ever condone putting urine (or any other bodily fluid) on your face.......

First off it's just plain gross......second.....I don't see how it could possibly help.......

Why don't you stop being so judgemental and do the research. Put yourself in someone else's shoes. If you were fighting acne like some us have to and have tried everything to cure it but it doesn't work, there's nothing you wouldn't do. Get off your high horse.

If i was eating really healthy. Drinking water eating fruit and veg
then i'd have no problem drinking my piss but i don't fancy drinking waste from mcdonalds and coke.

I always put a drop of lavender oil into the cup. It makes it smell nice and lavender is good for your skin anyways.

I have a theory why this may work.

From wikipedia:

Copper peptide GHK-Cu has strong affinity for copper (II) and naturally occurs in human blood, saliva and urine.

Copper peptide GHK-Cu is a naturally occurring human tri-peptide. In plasma, the level of GHK-Cu is about 200 ng/ml at age 20. By the age of 60, the level drops to 80 ng/ml. Scientific studies conducted in different research laboratories around the world have established that human tri-peptide GHK-Cu possesses a plethora of biological actions including activation of wound healing, attraction of immune cells, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, stimulation of collagen and glycosaminoglycan synthesis in skin fibroblasts and promotion of blood vessels growth. Recent studies indicate its important role in stem cell biology and anti-tumor defense. Since GHK-Cu plays an important role in skin biology, it is widely used in cosmetics as a reparative and anti-aging ingredient.

Hello friends.

So, I want to tell you about my discovery of urine therapy. It's been about 8 months since i've stopped using birth control, and my skin went crazy! I had heard about urine therapy prior, but just kept it as one of those things in the back of my mind. At first, I thought it was the most disgusting idea. I'm big on homeopathic remedies, but this one was pushing the limits.

I decided to do a little research, and found that it's the best thing for so many different kinds of ailments, Including kidney failure! I also found that makeup companies use synthetic urea in their products. Interesting!
It all started to click. Companies wouldn't make money if everyone knew we each have the ability to cure ourselves FOR FREE. Our bodies are miraculous creations, and it just makes sense that we have the ability to treat ourselves.

With my hormones bouncing off the walls, I was pretty desperate to try anything with my face now exploded. I had been down this road before, and know that in a situation like this, things tend to get worse. So I took the plunge. I have been doing this for a little over a week, (2-3 times a day depending on the time I have) and have found exceptional results. Both my cheeks and around my chin had begun to sprout up clusters of pimples, the nasty kind with their own pulse, and now they've subsided. I tell you I am amazed.

I also avoid, dairy, sugar, spicy foods, and alcohol. As these all create heat in your body (dairy and sugar do a lot of other harmful things as well.) A clean diet, and now a routine urine drinking are keeping my pimples at bay.



Best wishes to all.

Hi, I've started urine therapy three days ago and I haven't been noticing an improvement, should I continue with it ?

what have you been doing?

if you are applying it to your face, it takes some time before you see benefits. initially it will usually break you out more, but in a 2 weeks your skin should feel softer and start looking healthier.

Good god.

What did this really contribute to the thread? Did you get off to adding negativity to a thread? I saw another similar post of yours in another urine therapy thread (through a google search, distinct cupcake avatar)

It really takes a lot of guts to post one's experience with this

[DBLA712]

Urine is usually sterile until it reaches the urethra. Yeast, some sti's, parasites, and bacteria like e. coli, even mad cow disease can be found in urine. Since it is your own, it is not too big of a deal for UT. but you could also spread certain things to your face, like yeast which would painfully unpleasant.

Urine can be high in salts and also contains ammonia and a small percentage of the toxins that were in our bodies (that's why it's in urine). Skin absorbs 70% of what is on it. And I think one of the military branches advises against drinking urine because the salt can dehydrate a person more. (I know you are not drinking it). Maybe it is the high salt content in urine that helps skin when applied topically. Dries it up.

I just felt that these were some scientific facts that you should know. I'm not opposed to alternative therapies at all, but I think it is very important to thoroughly research alternative therapies before attempting them. Unfortunately, there are several sites over any topic that act as propogandas. Many of which can easily be disproved by science (like the thread I posted on Liver Flushes yesterday).
I'm not saying that UT doesn't work, but some of the information regarding urine is incorrect.

Howdy people, I found this thread through Google, so here I am. I've tried pretty much every prescription, OTC, chemical peel, and home remedy that I've come across. So, after putting it off for forever because it's gross, I'm going to try this UT thing.

I'm not really sure how to get started, but I guess I'll just make something up and go from there. However, I'm wondering if it would be safe for me to do, because I have a history of UTI's.

Also, to whoever is basically saying 'wtf, i'd rather use accutane over this", etc...

If it works for you and the only side effect you're getting is dry skin, awesome. I'm glad for you. When I used accutane, it did work extremely well; it's actually the only thing I've tried that's ever worked. Unfortunately, I had to stop taking it after two months because it was I was quickly losing vision. I desperately want clear skin, but I'm not willing to go blind to get it. Piss might be gross, but atleast I'll still have my sight.

Did you drink it?? I'm not gonna lie I drank it and I felt so happy and everything felt so good I thought I was on drugs.

Are you joking? Please tell me you are.

[Bahar101]

it works. i had 5 cystic pimples after using proactive and it hurt my left cheek so badly. i heard of urine therapy long time ago but i was never desperate enough to try it. and then last week i thought about giving a chance. i was like why not it cant be worse than this. and it actually made my skin better. this is my 4th day doing the urine therapy and my cystic pimples are looking much better and they dnt hurt anymore. i was shocked. im glad i gave it a try. so this is what my regimen is. i get up in the morning i wash my face with cetaphil (cleanser). then i put make up on. go to school. when i come back from school i take my make-up off with olive oil. then get in the shower cleanse my face again. then i exfoliate my skin with olive oil scrub ( sugar + afew drops of olive oil) then i cleanse my face again to get rid of the oil. i dont have acne on my right cheek so for my right cheeck all i do is put lemon juice on. and for my left cheek where i have cystic acne i pee on a cotton ball then pat it on my right cheek. then i go to sleep and leave it like that overnight. i also drink vitamins which makes the whole therapy more effective. hope this helped. ill keep u updated. xoxo

[hugoll12]

do you know if UT can fade hyperpigmentation?

[po4emu]

Ok, I decided to try it

I'm sick of the expensive treatments which give no results- lasers, peels,antibiotics, homeopathy, cremes, BP, retinoins - I probably spent smth like 10,000$ and more. I am determined to get a glowing complexion and no after acne red marks! They've been staying there for 4, 5 years and if putting urine on my face will help them, so be it! I am a student-to-be-supporting-herself-on-her-own and constant IPLS and whatever arent an option xD Not to mention that they dont work. I want to go on trips with other people without having to wake up hours before the others to apply new makeup and sleep with my makeup on.

So - its 3pm here and I took a very very clean shower lol, then peed in a cup (it was quite transparent really, but its because of the water I drank) then washed again. Hopefully the alcohol that I consumed last night wont make too much of a difference : D (Still hungover after a 21st birthday)

After I finished, I stared at myself in the mirror and took a sniff at the cup - "not that bad, but definitely pee lol". Then I took a cotton pad and dabbed my whole face, thinking "pls dont let my mum and dad smell it on my face xD" Then I washed the cup, ran to my room and sprayed it with some perfume. My mum obv came at some point and asked - wow, why did u spray it so much??? I was silent lol. I hope she didnt smell any pee.

In any case - its tingly and Im scared to lick my lips : D I think because of the whole "shower and then pee almost crystal clear liquid in a cup", that the whole thing isnt that gross...I couldnt wait for the evening to come, so I'll do another dabbing before bed wish me luck!

I've got another IPL session on the 9th and I hope those two are compatible Will keep you updated. For those that are grossed out - I am desperate and having a low self esteem with a degree in business isnt healthy and wont get me a job. I am being realistic. It may be toxic, it may be toxic nuclear waste for that matter, but if it brings results, scientists must reconsider the whole "excrement" hypothesis. It reminds me of the "hair deal". Everyone are grossed out by fallen hair which tangles around ur toes in the shower, but the same hair on your head it's completely fine.

Never the less, I will run like hell if someone tries kissing me or staying too close...After all it does have a bad odor and drinking, touching other person's pee isn't healthy for reasons I think is irrelevant to explain.

Oh and my acne is severe Cysts and red marks, saturated on the cheeks, uneven skin tone, black pores etc. It's not extremely horribly bad, but it's still extremely bad.



EDIT:

So, a day passed and I would say I am seeing some nice results. The first half a day my skin went bright red : D I wasn't very pleased, but went on, good thing I did . Now the skin is very soft, which is a surprise, because it was feeling like shit due to some allergic reaction I had because of the retin a (that's why I am considering stopping it /= too bad) Some of the redness is gone and I had some pimples on my chin due to alcohol abuse and dirt that are slowly dying out. I am washing only with cetaphyl and water.

More info:

I don't do sports while at home for the holidays and as its heavily snowing lately I rarely go out to get more fresh air. I weight 49 kilos. I dont know whether it is relevant but I'll say it either way . I am quite white - according to the clinique foundation matrix I am 02 fresh ivory or the lightest for MAC (dont get this stuff - too thick and orange + makes u look old and wrinkly). Brown hair and brown eyes.

My diet these days :
Supplements - vitamin C, E - because of the damn allergy

Day - 0.5
Breakfast: cake
Lunch: some chicken with tomato sauce and mash potatoes with a tomato/cucumber salad, (applied urine for the first time at 3pm)
Dinner: some fish with coleslaw
Snack - nuts

Day 1
Breakfast - cake
Lunch - chicken soup with chips and cheese - I went skiing : D
Dinner - meatballs with salad and white soft bread

As you can see my diet is far from perfect and I still see results
I applied the urine 3 times. Once at 3pm when I started, then at night, then in the morning, however I washed it off after 10/15 mins as I went skiing. I will try applying it twice every day

What I do is dab some urine with a cotton pad and gently massage it in my face - I do it with 2 pads for 3 mins. Then I pour some urine on my fingers being all grossed out and making a funny face. Then, I massage the raw urine on my face.


Side note - no matter the quantity of water I drink, the stench of piss reeks. It smells - a lot. But maybe I am too fixed on the idea that I have it on my face and I am imagining things. Oh well, I will continue doing it. I dont have a camera - I have only a phone camera, but to describe the marks which is actually the main problem - they are spread a millimetre apart on the whole cheek - aka theres a lot of them *sigh*

I will drink some water before going to bed, so my urine won't smell that strong. I swear it's a killer
Oh and I sleep with a towel on my pillow so the odor wont set in the fabric

Day 2:

Breakfast - sandwich with feta cheese and tea
Lunch: pork steak with some salad
Dinner: a meatball with eggs and peppers + bread, 1 mandarin, 3 canned peaches - I love this stuff, sweet and sugary.
Tea tea tea


Some nuts, Vitamins C and B

Today I would say I have some new pimples forming (not cysts) on the chin and on the right cheek. Nothing serious though. The skin looks healthier and more even, while the old scaring (from 3 - 4 years ago) is still fading. The cheeks look kind of pinkish, but it's a different pinkish like the nice pink you get from exercising too much. However the newer scarring on my left cheek (from 4, 5 months 2 years) doesn't seem to change a lot. By scarring I mean deep red dots/marks. It is a bit disappointing, but oh well, it is still fading : )

In the morning I applied some morning urine on my face and waited for around 10 mins, then I rinsed it off...I am not alone at home and I dont want to smell like urine lol. For the night I'll apply some pre-bed urine. I'll wake up a bit earlier tomorrow - so I will be able to stay with the urine on my face for at least an hour. I didnt wash my face with anything in the morning - I just used tons of water. However, I'll wash with cetaphyl before going to bed and applying the urine. Urine reminds me of babies, I smell like babies now

Day 3:

Breakfast: cake - I swear I am almost fed up with it lol
Lunch: peace with pork, caramel creme, tomato and cucumber salad
Dinner: spaghetti with ham

I think I drink at least 1.5 litres of water.

Vitamins E, C

The pimples on my chin dont seem to change, which is unfortunate. And its quite a lot of them / =. There is no considerable change in the marks' appearance, still fading I think, but not as fast. The overall skin looks healthier though. Stayed with the urine for an hour in the morning and I just applied it for night. Tomorrow is the IPL, I wonder whether it will have a significant effect - prolly not. I wish I knew how to kill off the smell -___- so I could have it on my face for the whole day.
