Doctor Reacts To Period-Blood Face Mask
Period-Blood Face Mask and, Uh, You Definitely Shouldn’t Try This! ❌
🚨Disclaimer: Dr Somji seriously recommends you do not try this at home! 🚨
A slew of TikTok users are raving about the perks of taking period blood and, well, smearing it on your face. Currently, videos with the hashtag #periodbloodfacemask collectively have more than 3.5 million views.
A period blood face mask is exactly what it sounds like: Some people on TikTok claim to collect their period blood in a menstrual cup and then smear it over their skin for its supposed benefits, such as leaving behind clear, glowing skin. However, there’s little information about how to store the blood, how soon after collecting the blood you should apply it, and how long to leave the blood on the skin. 😳
This method is not to be confused with vampire facials, made famous by the likes of celebrities, such as Kim Kardashian.
There’s no scientific evidence that using whole blood — whether it’s menstrual or otherwise — can have any cosmetic benefit. In fact, red blood cells are pro-inflammatory and may make [skin] worse. I do not recommend whatsover! ❌
