    She’s doing it wrong. You don’t leave it overnight and you do not spray it. Use it like an oil, massage it into your hair, rinse off in about 15 minutes.

    Then your hair will fall off more evenly BECAUSE ITS A FUCKING ACID.

    But seriously, next time you have a zit, put a little drop of piss on it. Just one dab. Zit will dry out in about 10 minutes flat. Then just rinse off and act like you didn’t just do that.

      Honestly, if you get athelete’s foot, piss on your feet in the shower.

      More fast acting than tinactin. Again, not joking. I suffered for months until I got that tip from a paraplegic who was an athlete previously.

      Worked like a damn charm. I miss that dude.

      And he could do pull-ups like it was no thing. It was amazing to watch him get out of bed.

      But anyhow, pee on your feet in the shower if you have athlete’s foot. Instant relief, and cures. Pissy Life Pro Tip.

      I’m fairly certain it’s a base, not an acid, since the urea and uric acid break down into ammonia. Do you have more information? I’m not saying you’re wrong about the effects, (if anything a base would be even worse) but I thought the caustic nature was why urine was traditionally used in leather tanning.

        The PH of your urine can vary. Urine is also not sterile, so you are introducing waste products, bacteria, and salts directly into your skin holes. The urea concentration isn’t especially high at 2%, compared with topical solutions that start at 5%. CeraVe and Eucarin both have a product with urea in them.

        You are right, in that urea does break down into ammonia. So aged urine was used to tan hides, since the ammonia would break down the leftover fatty tissue/grease, and loosen all the hair and fibers.
