Sperm Face Masks: Is semen the secret to anti-ageing?

There are injections to freeze your face, forehead stickers to smooth out your wrinkles, sheep placenta to keep you young and even vampire facials that use your own blood to rejuvinate your skin. But we think we may have discovered the anti-ageing treatment you're least likely to want to give a go.

Introducing: The face mask made of human semen.

Insert the pun of your choice here.

[Millie Mack and Kim K love it, would you try facial acupuncture?]
[Is this sticker better at beating wrinkles than botox?]

The idea is brought to us by Stella Ralfini, who describes herself as an author, life, coach, couples counselor and tantric guide. Rather surprinsgly, she has written a best selling book (about tantric sex) following her travels in India where, she says, this sperm facial idea is a Thing.

The 67-year-old grandma created her beauty vlog to alert the rest of us to the beauty benefits of sperm, saying it's worth "thousands and thousands but is free".

Explaining what to do Stella says: "All you need is a lover but if you don't have one, you know what to do. All you need to do is, every ten days or two weeks, just both have a good time, make sure he has a good time, and when your beautiful love-making session is over, you are going to scoop this amazing sperm mask up in your fingers, put it on your face, leave it for fifteen minutes and wash it off."

It might sound bonkers, and we're not sure we'd give it a go, but there is some basis in science. Apparently, human sperm is a powerful antioxidant.

According to HollywoodLife.com, cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Oscar Hevia reckons there could be something in the beauty tip:

"Semen contains proteolytic enzymes, which are designed to break down proteins. In theory, if applied to the skin, these enzymes could help to break down the uneven and thickened dead layer of older, sun-damaged skin. This could make the skin feel smoother."

So there you have it. Would you give it a go?
