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.
Ruby Karyo, 30, from Glen Burnie, Maryland, has been gulping down her morning 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’s determined to spread the word.
The writer and sales representative has even persuaded her boyfriend to try drinking his pee to quell his hair loss.
Ruby follows ‘urine therapy,’ and uses her own urine to clean her face. She sprays it and then rubs it in as shown
Ruby claimed the pee therapy helped with blood sugar and diabetes, and that the urine leaves her skin glowing
‘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”.
‘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.
‘Every night when you go to sleep you can put it on your face.

The 30-year-old said she felt younger when using urine, and that her skin looked dull when she didn’t use it
‘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.
Should you drink your own urine?
Urine is made of approximately 95 per cent water and 5 per cent nutrients including calcium and iron.
Fans of ‘urotherapy’- a term used to describe drinking your own pee, include Madonna.
In 1945, John W. Armstrong, a British naturopath, published a book claiming that drinking urine could cure all major illnesses, however there is no scientific proof of this.
Health expert Aisling Pigott, dietician and spokesperson for the British Dietetic Association, says urine contains toxins expelled from the body and kidneys and drinking it could therefore be harmful and cause infection.
However Shona Wilkinson, head nutritionist at NutriCentre, says urine is not toxic and is sterile as it has been filtered twice – once by the liver and again by the kidneys.
Followers claim it cures diseases when ingested and acne when used topically due to its ‘disinfectant’ properties, and it has been used in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicines.

‘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.’
Ruby claims that maintaining a healthy, vegetarian diet while using urine therapy is important to maximize the ‘benefits.’

‘You need to put pure things into your body while you are doing it,’ she said.
‘It’s advised that you shouldn’t smoke either.’
Ruby says that many people laugh or are incredulous when she tells them about her unusual routine.
‘People do think it’s strange at first but when I explain how great I feel they become more interested,’ she said.
‘I would not tell lies to people, I would not tell them to try something that is bad for them, this actually works.’
