Want Perfect Skin? “Urine” Luck

What price for beauty? I see it all around me all the time. I never pay it, therefore I am the poster child for the unattractive but a lot of people do go the extra mile to look their very best. They use this face cream, that cleanser, and this special moisturizer all to maintain healthy young looking skin. I do understand the desire to be desirable but how far would you go to get there?

Would you be willing to use your own urine as a beauty treatment? According to one British beauty expert your own urine has a lot of benefits that your facial features could really use. Martha Christy, a health and beauty expert told London's Daily Mail that the benefits to using urine for healthier skin are incredible. She maintains that urine actually helps fight eczema, acne, psoriasis, and fungal infections.

She is not the first to declare the healing powers of pee. According to historical documents the ancient Egyptians and lady's of a higher class in 18th century France used to bathe in their own urine. Pop star Madonna allegedly swears by the stuff too.

According to health and beauty experts who subscribe to the use of urine as skin care idea, the best way to use it is to combine it. They suggest you combine your urine with your favorite moisturizer. That way it stays on the skin longer and you don't get quite as grossed out by it.  They also suggest peeing in the shower as a remedy for athletes foot. There are some who think drinking a pint of urine a day will keep the doctor away.

Do you buy into this? Or it this so totally gross you didn't even get to this part in the story? I do know the body is amazing creation. I would not be surprised at all if this revelation was 100% accurate.

Would I do it? No.

If you read the first paragraph I have a standard of ugly I am required to keep up in order to remain on the radio.  Besides as a teenage bed wetter, if this was the case, I would have been most beautiful boy in middle school after sleeping many nights floating in my own juices.
