Doctors advise not to follow gross routine

Doctors absolutely do not recommend applying faecal matter to your face, for any reason whatsoever.

Dr Sophie Momen, a dermatologist at Cadogan Clinic in London, told the New York Post, "Of all the skincare ‘trends’, this is one of the strangest I have ever come across. There is absolutely no scientific benefit to your skin in using faeces as a face mask.”

She advises against this trend, saying that it can cause food poisoning and even viral infections. Your skin can also break out into rashes.

Plastic surgeon Tunc Tiryaki told the New York Post, “Faeces contain a plethora of bacteria, viruses, and parasites, including E. coli, Salmonella, and helminths, which can cause serious infections and diseases."

Meanwhile, people on the internet are not impressed by the disgusting skincare routine.

"Seek therapy to cure the need to be seen, I speak from the heart. Family constellation helps a lot," one user commented.

Slamming her further for seeking attention, another user wrote, "It's gotta be satire for attention."

"Dude, are you sick? I know it's a lie, but even so, are you sick?," another wrote.

Another comment read, "If your skin looks amazing, why do you use filters? I'm shocked, people are reaching extreme."
