Urine May Be The Beauty Product You’re Missing In Your Life..

As the beauty-obsessed (and broke) ladies we are, we probably thought we’ve heard (and tried) every weird beauty trick in the book — until now.

The newest all-the-rage “product” in the beauty world, however, is one that we definitely won’t be trying out anytime soon. It’s pee.

Urine. Tinkle. Piss.

Call it whatever you like, but if it’s coming out of our bodies, we’re sure as hell not putting it back in, thank you very much.

Technically, the trend isn’t new. Ancient Romans used urine as a teeth whitener, ancient Hindu cultures used it as a medicine and in 18th century France, people actually bathed in it.

Recently, medical research writer and natural health consultant Martha Christy reintroduced the all-natural ingredient to the beauty world in her book, “Your Own Perfect Medicine.”

She recommends, horrifyingly, drinking an undiluted cup of pee first thing in the morning, as supposedly, it’s full of minerals and vitamins.

Fortunately, for the less daring, there are other options.Christy urges those who suffer from acne to harbor urine’s sterile properties for treatment. Apparently, dabbing pee on a pimple will kill acne-causing bacteria and dry the blemish.

Journalist Rebecca Reid confirmed the zit-zapping wonders of pee in a piece for The Telegraph.

According to a friend who tried it,

It dries [pimples] out better than Sudocrem or aspirin.

As far as we’re concerned, drinking piss should be reserved only for life-or-death situations (like, say, being stranded on a desert).

And as for that pesky acne? Yeah, we’ll make do with our trusty, pee-free Clearasil.

Sorry, Christy.
