Is This The Strangest Beauty Trend Ever? Brazilian Influencer Uses Poop As Face Pack

A Brazilian influencer has created a stir online after revealing her strange skincare routine. Debora Peixoto has revealed an odd skincare regimen in which she covers her face with faeces. The influencer, who gained notoriety earlier for softening her skin with period blood, claimed she read online that using a faecal face mask may “prevent ageing.” In the Instagram video, the content creator is seen cracking open a jar of her own faeces and putting it everywhere on her face, like a mud mask.

“The craziest thing I’ve ever done in my life: I smeared my faeces on my face, and now he doesn’t want to be near me lol I saw a study about it and decided to try it! It worked for me, my skin stopped peeling!” read the caption.

She is seen in the video taking a little container out of the refrigerator that looks to be filled with faeces. The influencer then covers her entire face with it. To be honest, it hurts to witness it. She massages it in without showing any sort of reaction.

In order to mask the stink, Peixoto pins her nose shut with a clothespin and lets it stay on for a few minutes before rinsing it off. She then flaunts her freshly cleansed face following her peculiar skincare regimen.

With more than 3 lakh views on the social media platform, the users were disgusted for all the obvious reasons.

A user commented, “It is my own fault for even having Instagram at this point.”

Another user said, “If you read online that rubbing a cheese grater on your face removes age spots, you would probably try it.”

Yet another user highlighted, “You can’t be that uneducated. Shit is basically the trash of our body without any vitamins or minerals left.”

A user mentioned, “There are things that even when I see I don’t believe.”

Experts promptly criticised the strange beatification method, asserting that the health risks outweigh any purported advantages.

Dermatologist Dr. Sophie Momen, a consultant at the Cadogan Clinic in London, told NY Post, “Of all the skincare ‘trends’, this is one of the strangest I have ever come across.” Momen went on to say that there is zero scientific evidence that using faeces as a face mask improves skin health. The participant may become more vulnerable to viral and bacterial illnesses, food poisoning, and “redness and discomfort” as a result of this manure makeup, she added.
