A third-year student at a university in Eldoret town is now the centre of attention after admitting to drinking urine to cure acne and pimples.
Mary Kunitutu Wairimu says she has been doing so for over 2 months now and the process has proved to work.
"A friend of mine introduced me to the therapy 2 months ago. At first, it sounded so bizarre and untrue but after trying it for a while I got convinced," Wairimu said.
The student, however, refused to reveal the identity of the woman who introduced her to the bizarre act but she was definitely determined to stick to the skin therapy.
"Since it has proven to work, I don't think I will stop using it. I know people find it weird but I don't care what people think. I care a lot about my beauty," she stated.
According to the university student, she uses her own urine and not someone else's. She drinks a quarter a glass twice per day; in the morning and evening.
Although this is against biology, it has now become a mentality across many women that urine and semen, especially the later, cure acne.
Acne is a skin condition characterized by red pimples on the skin, especially on the face, due to inflamed or infected sebaceous glands and prevalent chiefly among adolescents.
"Urine is a waste product. So how can it be a cure again? It is made of waste materials for heaven's sake," Kevin Gitoru, a resident in Eldoret commented on the matter.
It is evident that most of Mary's friends don't agree with her, but she is nonetheless determined to work on her skin beauty even if it means sticking to the bizarre routine.
