Woman Uses Period Blood as Face Mask
Period Blood: Have you ever heard of someone using their period blood for skin care? This American woman revealed that she collects her menstrual blood and wears it as a mask.
Gina Frances, 28, from New Jersey, USA, felt “dirty” about her period like any other woman to a point. But he somehow turned it around and embraced it. It’s a mask. At first, Gina hides her bleeding from everyone and uses birth control to avoid her period. However, when she stops taking birth control pills, she realizes how powerful a woman’s womb is.
She now sees menstrual blood as “nature’s mask” and even uses it for other purposes, such as fertilizing her plants and painting. “Most of my life I hated my periods,” Gina Frances said. I was on birth control for eight years and used it to manipulate my cycle and avoid my period. When I finally got off birth control, I didn’t have a period for about a year, and I started going to women’s circles and learning about the womb.”
She adds that most menstruating women feel somewhat “disconnected” from their periods and feel “deep-rooted embarrassment” about their periods. “When you’re in high school, you hide your sanitary pads and tampons from everyone, and that shame carries over time,” the 28-year-old shared.
Gina also suggested that her education about the womb transformed her thinking and made her realize that periods are a powerful time for women to “slow down” and connect with themselves. According to her, menstrual blood can be used as fertilizer, for dyeing and for self-care exercises.
We’ve come across several bizarre beauty regimes and aesthetics to look youthful over the centuries. From Egyptian Queen Cleopatra’s donkey milk baths to bee venom masks and vampire facials that use one’s own blood or your blood plasma to restore skin’s vitality and beauty, trends continue to change in search of that magic potion. Ageless and blemish free skin.
Not sure what the benefits of period blood are, but as reported on the Popoxo website, one user said that period blood “contains all the stem cells and all the nutrients that a baby needs and obviously, your skin and body. Need.” Others claim that this ‘DIY skin cure’ helped them achieve clear and glowing skin.
Let’s first clarify what is period blood. Menstruation, which is a woman’s monthly bleeding often called your “period,” is a process in which your body sheds the menstrual lining of your uterus (womb). Menstrual blood and tissue flow from your uterus through the small opening in your uterus and out of your body through your vagina.
Basically, it is a waste material that serves no purpose once it is excreted from the body. And now if we take this waste substance and apply it to our face it is not correct that it has benefits, although some people claim to have benefited from using it.
So we should take a rude awakening to this ‘period blood facial Mask” otherwise known as ‘moon Masking’ and understand what can happen if you try it.
– The blood probably contains bacteria and sweat, among other things, that you apply directly to your face
– Collecting period blood through a menstrual cup is unhygienic.
-Whether you collect blood from your pad (ouch!) or cup is unsanitary.
-Period blood contains RBCs that can trigger inflammation, and WBCs can irritate the skin.
-If you have an infection that you don’t know about, you can get the same infection from your vagina to your mouth (ewww!).
-You may also have an allergic reaction to your blood.
-Chlamydia conjunctivitis is a disease that spreads to the eye through contact with genital fluids.
-A PRP (platelet rich plasma) facial such as the vampire facial is different. It involves sterilely withdrawing blood from a vein and spinning it down to collect only platelets before injecting it into the bloodstream. It stops the new collagen formation and recovery course.
-As previously explained the blood is waste material and includes RBC, WBC, platelets, bacteria, sweat, endothelial cells and dead skin cells.
There is no scientific evidence to support the so-called benefits of period blood and the information floating around the internet that is rehashed and promoted among women as the latest beauty fad! (Medical input from Popxo)
