A woman who has been drinking her own urine and rubbing it on her face for over a decade claims it improves her skin and overall health, the Daily Mail has reported.
Ruby Karyo, 30, from Glen Burnie, Maryland, has been gulping down urine and spritzing it on her face since she was 19 years old.
The controversial practice, known as ‘urine therapy’ has made Ruby the source of much derision, but she is determined to spread the word about what she says are its many benefits.
The writer and sales representative has even persuaded her boyfriend to try drinking his pee to quell his hair loss.
‘My dad told me about urine therapy when I was 19-years-old,’ said Ruby, a mother-of-one.
‘He said, “If you want to be a beauty queen use it on your face and your body.”‘
In order to take full advantage of the practice, Ruby not only drinks five ounces of urine twice a week, she also sprays it and rubs it into her face because she believes that it acts like a skincare product.
‘When I wake up I rub my morning pee onto my face and use it like a moisturizer. You can leave it on for a couple of hours, or leave it on all day,’ she explained.
‘Every night when you go to sleep you can put it on your face.
‘For the first few days your face might look a bit raw, because all the impurities will come out, but then it will become clear.
‘It’s good for healing scars and pimples,’ she claimed.
‘I pee into a travel spray bottle and then spray it into my hands and then rub it onto my face.
‘I also drink about five ounces of morning pee about twice a week.
‘It can lower blood sugar and cholesterol and help diabetes.
‘My skin glows when I use it, I took a break from it a while back and my skin began to look dull.
‘I feel younger and I look younger when I use it.
‘People don’t want to talk about it, they think it’s disgusting, but then they go and eat things like hot dogs, and they have no idea what is in hot dogs.
‘We know what urine contains and everything that is in urine is essential for the body
‘I want to bring light to the fact that it can change your life without using all the chemicals that are in store-bought products.’
Ruby started dating her boyfriend Brian Offenburger, a 56-year-old machine operator, in January of this year, when he was already beginning to go bald.
She claims that after just two months of drinking his own pee Brian’s hair started to grow back.
‘We have before and after pictures to prove it,’ she said.
‘He started seeing the difference about a month ago, after being consistent.’
