Brazilian model and influencer Débora Peixoto has drawn widespread criticism for her latest skincare routine—applying her own faeces to her face. The controversial practice, which Peixoto claims prevents aging, has sparked outrage among medical professionals who warn of severe health risks.
Peixoto, 31, with over 6,50,000 followers on Instagram, recently shared a video showcasing her unconventional skincare method. In the footage, Peixoto is seen applying a faecal mask to her face, using her own excrement as a bizarre alternative to traditional beauty products.
The influencer, who has previously gone viral for using period blood as a facial treatment, defended her latest experiment, stating, "It's the craziest thing I've done in my life."
Peixoto explained that she was inspired to try the faecal face mask after reading online claims that it could prevent aging and improve skin texture. "It’s worked for me, and my skin has stopped flaking!" she exclaimed in the video, flaunting her post-treatment glow. However, her unusual routine has drawn the ire of medical experts and concerned social media users alike.
