Acne

Urine really works for acne. I get really deep or cystic acne. The kind you can't pop and if you do it just gets worse and leaves a scar. After reading about using it for acne on this website, I just had to try it for myself. I peed on a cotton swab when I woke up and held it for a minute or so on the pimple. After just a few minutes it seemed to have brought the pimple to a head. The next day I did it again and now it's almost gone. This will be the way I handle my cystic pimple from now on. Try it and see!

My mother swore by use of the first urine in the morning would remove warts. Have you ever heard of this and if so is it effective?

I'm really surprised this hasn't been posted, but the real remedy to acne or cystic acne is your own urine! Soak a cotton ball (first morning pee is best)hold it on the pimple, repeat every time you urinate, the pimple will go away. Contrary to popular belief, human urine is sterile and contains your own wasted antibodies. Don't knock it until you try it, it really works!

Honestly it really works ...... have been getting spots on my chin recently. I have tried so many things to get rid of them as the last 2 days I have put urine on my spots. They have calmed right down in this short time and has taken the lumpiness away and already they are starting to fade in colour.
Drink plenty of water and start doing it. If you have puss more than twice a day...
Good luck xx

Urine works wonders! It cleared my cystic acne and I wish I would've known at first I found out about this therapy years after and it's awesome! And as long as you drink a lot of water it doesn't even smell. I put it on as a toner and leave it all day. No biggie! My friends think I am crazy but I am sure they would try it if they had acne too. ;)

Hair Care

I tried it on my hair as I read that the hair becomes soft and shiny. Unfortunately, after trying two times my hair smelled horribly and felt dry and surely didn't shine. Then I decided to rinse it to get rid of the smell but it still didn't look any nicer so.... I don't think that I will try again!
Now I tried washing it with baking soda, no problems with the smell but again it looked dry and lifeless. I would like to ditch commercial shampoos but I don't want to go around looking like an idiot. The next thing I will try will be nothing at all, just washing with water and maybe once in a while diluted baking soda, not the powder directly on my hair. I suppose having dyed hair presents some problems as the structure of the hair is not the same as natural hair! Wish me luck.....

Francisca, when I had a hysterectomy my hair changed right away, within days it was dry especially on the ends, they were literally like straw. (Had I known what I know now I would never have had the operation but that was many years ago.) I tried every product from the salon to the Dollar Store, nothing worked and baking soda made it worse. I was hesitant to make my own shampoo because I didn't want to wait it out, greasy, stringy hair, as everything I read said it took awhile for your scalp to stop / start producing the oil needed. Vanity I'm sure, but fear kicked in and I went a week without shampooing. Then I did this again and again, just pulled my hair back in a knot. My scalp started to produce the needed oil and my hair is beautiful! I now use natural products from the salon though I know there are recipes for good homemade shampoos and conditioners. They are all gentle and clean. I was over shampooing and stripping the oils from my scalp. Nothing worked better than backing off and letting Mother Nature take over. I wish you the best and do hope this helps.
Seborrheic Dermatitis
Posted by Liam (UK) on 08/31/2022
Hello, do you use fresh morning urine or aged for seborrheic dermatitis? I'm happy to use fresh urine but I heard it doesn't work as well as aged urine for skin application. I can't stand the smell of aged urine.

I have a hormonal imbalance, melasma due to the hormonal imbalance and arthritis in remission. Would my urine be ok to use? Doesn't an excess of impurities and hormones washed out in the urine? Please let me know if that makes sense and if anyone knows anything in this regard.

Hi guys. I'm a 31 yr old female and I have lived with acne since I was 14, that's a long time. All I know is a pimply face, I don't know the meaning of smooth it's a shame. I always have pimples, no break for me and a whole lot of spot scars. I started today using urine on my face after washing with hot water only and pat drying. I just wanna know if applying my urine 3 times a day is enough and how much of it should I drink and how many times a day too. Please someone tell me there's hope for me especially in getting rid of my acne scars! Thank you in advance.

Sara, I'd like to add that urine from pregnant women is in BIG demand. The cosmetic industry is using it in their facial products and has been for many years...

Urine Therapy Problem Solved
I was shocked at first to read about urine but there were enough testimonials for me to (gulp) try it. I used it inside my rubber shoes at first to see what effect it had on my horrific toenail fungus. After 2 weeks there was noticable difference. But an unfortunate side effect which was very embarassing was my work colleages reaction to the rotting smells. I stopped when I realised they could smell it. But now I have a solution. I use lavender oil mixed 10% with urine and no one can tell. It also makes my shoes more pleasant to put on I can tell you. A cheap and effective cure - and now with no side-effects.
Moles
Posted by M (Milan, Italy) on 05/29/2010
Greetings, I wanted to know, I'd begun practicing urine therapy just a bit ago, first beginning to apply it to my face and now ingesting it. However, I wondered, I have two small moles, that I've had all my life, and which I would not like to disappear. Do you think internally ingesting urine will cause them to disappear? thanks...
Rash
Posted by Nanette (Los Angeles, Ca) on 02/14/2010
Hi Rebel! Oil pulling is also very good at removing skin problems. You can search it on this site and there is also lots about it on the web. I had a bumpy rash for years on my pelvis, I oil pulled for two - three weeks and it went away and hasn't returned.
Glad the urine therapy is working, too. I just started drinking mine this past week. Nanette

Thank you so much for your comment on using urine to cure acne. I've been suffering with acne since high school but ever since last year I've had severe acne due to "who knows what". I've heard about using your own urine but I never thought I would try it until my grandma told me about it 2 days ago. I figured if they did it in her days maybe it does work. So far I did it twice already. It's not that bad unless you think about it. I haven't noticed anything yet but I'll keep you updated.

Should I preserve the morning pee to use at night for acne or can I use urine from any time during the day.

I remember a teacher of mine in high school mentioning how she had put urine on her face and it helped with her acne. Years and years later, it popped back up in my mind. I have been struggling with bumps on my forehead ever since I stopped using hormonal birth control. Urine Therapy has helped stubborn little bumps on my forehead and helped to even out my skin tone. Whenever I am at home, I have urine on my face. I try to keep in on as long as possible and only wash it off when I have company or go out. I have seen my bumps decrease by about 30% over that past 5 days, hopefully they will all go away. I only use fresh urine but I am thinking about keeping it and using older urine. I have never ingested it, but I may start, the health benefits of it are overwhelming and easily researchable. Any advice about this treatment for acne would be greatly appreciated! So far so good though!

Hi! Just wanted to say, it's not recommended that you save the urine as it can develop bacteria. Only fresh!

@H from NY:
The best urine is aged urine for washing your body and hair. Some people have been known to drink saved urine over 15 hours and it gets rid of parasites. Andrew Norton Webber has youtube videos that explain all this process.
I drink my own waters in the morning which have the most benefit since all the vitamins and minerals have been coursing through my blood stream. Try it. You won't be sorry.

I'm 19 yrs old and had acne for 9 yrs. It's moderate to mild though. I have a lot of scarring and I'm a little light so it shows badly. I just started UT this morning. How long should I keep it on my face? I also drink cucumber lemon water it claims to detox your skin.

Dear Megan from Calgary, I was suffering because of my acne since I was 18. I had really bad cystic acne and I was for 2 years on accutane. To make the story short, it took me 10 years to finally find a remedy to clear my skin. I eat 1/8 of a teaspoon of turmeric daily and I apply my own urine on my face daily. My face now is glowing, the scars are disappearing, and there is no more acne. Sorry for my english (it's my second language) and good luck.
