A woman who uses her period blood as a face mask says it’s the key to her youthful skin.

Thirty-two year old Sarah Sol has been using her own period blood as a beauty product for several years.

The menstrual cycle and womb healing mentor leaves her period blood on her face for around 15 minutes every month.

But although Sarah claims the “pure and fresh” period blood is the reason for her glowing face, others are not so convinced.

Social media users have slammed her controversial skincare method as “disgusting”.

In an Instagram reel (@onewildwomban ) Sarah shows her face with the mask in action and users can’t believe their eyes, with the video receiving 1.3 m views.

“It's just my 100% pure and fresh period blood, straight out of my yoni, I don't add anything else,” Sarah told What's The Jam.

“This is an ancient feminine secret to glowing and radiant young skin!

“Menstrual blood is rich in stem cells.

“It's good for skin quality, it helps clear acne, improves skin elasticity which helps with wrinkles and blemishes.”

The menstrual cycle and womb healing mentor says that after using it consistently for a year, her skin has never been better.

She said: “My skin quality has improved dramatically; a year ago I used to have acne breakouts, now this doesn't happen anymore.

“Also it improved my skin texture, the hydration level and the scars from past acne.

“My skin is glowing 24/7 now and it feels so soft!

“It's really the best skincare 'product' I've found so far with lasting effects, and… it's free.”

Sarah, who is based in both Egypt and Indonesia, knows the unique beauty fad isn’t everyone’s cup of tea.

But she doesn’t care what the trolls say; for her, it works.

She said: “I wouldn't recommend this for everyone.

“Only to those who have healthy menstruation, healthy sexual health and are interested to connect with their period blood in that way.

“Everyone is free and responsible to decide what is best for their wellbeing and the health of their facial skin.”

Instagram users have reacted strongly to the video.

Ivana said: “You forgot to mention, you also have BACTERIA in menstrual blood.”

“You must be kidding me, no way on heck I will put that on my face,” commented another user.

Another user said: “Can people stop doing disgusting s*** and calling it normal or that it has advantages.”

Someone else said: “That’s wrong and disgusting too.”

However, some people claim to have also tried method that Sarah swears by.

Mariam addded: “It was my grandma’s advise also for treating face acne.. am surprized,” [sic]

One other user said: “I’ve been doing this off and on for a few years It is great for the skin. And there are other benefits too. This is a great way to connect with your feminine energy in a ritual way. A lot of women have no idea what they are missing out on.”

Despite the uproar online, Sarah says that the acne remedy isn’t just another trend but that scientific research is poor in this area.

She added: “I come from Egypt and my Ancient Egyptian ancestors considered menstrual blood to be very sacred and powerful for its healing properties and they used it as a medicinal remedy for many ailments.

“This wisdom about menstrual blood as sacred and medicinal can also be found in many other ancient cultures.

“Also, it is important to understand that scientific research has been very poor and quite lacking when it comes to the female body.”
