Influencer uses own faeces as face mask to 'clear skin' as doctors issue stark warning
An influencer has shocked social media users after claiming to use her own faeces as a face mask – with two doctors issuing a stark warning against the extreme skincare method.
Débora Peixoto took to Instagram to share her bizarre routine with her 657,000 followers.
The 31-year-old has previously gone viral for smothering period blood across her cheeks to give herself “glowing skin.”
Now she has revealed her latest skincare ‘hack’ in a video that has over 217,000 views.
"I saw research about it and decided to try it,” claims the content creator, speaking to What's The Jam.
“It can prevent ageing.
“It’s the craziest thing I’ve done in my life.
“But it’s worked for me and my skin has stopped flaking!”
In the video, the influencer can be seen going to her fridge and picking out a small sample container of what appears to be her own poo.
She then puts her hair back with a pink hairband, before using a small spatula to wipe the faeces across her cheeks, forehead, chin and nose.
Débora then rubs the poo into her skin with her fingers to create a face mask.
The Brazilian native uses a clothes peg to close her nose, which she says “helps with the smell” and leaves the substance on for 10 minutes before washing it off.
At the end of the video, Débora looks at the camera to show off her “glowing” skin.
The post has gained over 1,900 likes, as well as hundreds of comments so far.
Edilane said: “There are things that even when I see I don't believe.”
Sarinha added: “People are getting too extreme on the Internet. This is a worrisome.”
Wellington commented: “Humans are so weird.”
Milena wrote: “Disgusting AF. I wouldn't even do that.” [sic]
Someone else said: “This is diabolical... taking it too far.”
