Lhea's Secret Remedy: Urine Therapy


Dear Skeptics,

Urea is an organic compound naturally produced by humans. It has been proven in various studies to serve as an emollient for normal or dry skin. Urea appears naturally in healthy skin serving as a skin conditioner and humectant. In fact, artificially produced urea is included in various cosmetics, lotions and prescriptions. Eucerin, often recommended by dermatologists, is 5-10% Urea.

If you dare, you may try a form of Urine Therapy.

I am not... I repeat, I am not recommending the ingestion of urine. 

Urine, when applied atopically can serve as an emollient and skin conditioner. Urine may be applied before or after a bath. Urine should only be used on days when your only ingested liquids have been water, and your urine should be colorless as such.

Urea itself is a very strong substance, it probably should not be applied directly to facial skin. If you would like to use Urine Therapy on your face, you definitely should dilute your clear urine with water.

Something for the brave!

Post Script:
You should be a health nut to even consider urine therapy. If you ingest drugs, tobacco or alcohol, please refrain from smearing them all over your skin. Thanks!

Love,
Lhea J.
