67-year old grandmother uses sperm facials, Says is the secret to looking young

67 years old London grandmother Stella Ralfini has come up with a novel new way of looking young that involves smearing her skin with semen every fortnight to replenish it and retain its radiance.

Approaching 70 but still looking in her 30s, Ms Ralfini attributes her youthful looks to this novel treatment and has even produced a Youtube about it. Her formula is widely gaining acceptance as the substance is now even sold by a Norwegian company called Bioforskning and spermine facials are offered in New York.

According to NY Magazine, human sperm is a powerful anti-oxidant that is said to diminish wrinkles and smooth the skin. Cosmetic dermatologist Dr Oscar Hevia told HollywoodLife.com that there's some truth in this bizarre beauty tip.

He added: "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 but this might only be achieved with daily application for days or weeks. It would also not be practical as a mask, since it is a body fluid and will not remain stable outside the body, so would lose its beneficial effect, if any, very quickly after application."

Ms Ralfini added: "'It's worth thousands and thousands but it's free and all you need is a lover. However, if you don't have one, all you need to do is, every 10 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, scoop this amazing sperm mask up in your fingers, put it on your face.

"Then leave it for 15 minutes and wash it off. I know some of you are thinking what is she saying but we have to assume that your lover is a healthy clean man and eats wells."

Describing herself as an author, life coach, couples counsellor and tantric guide, Ms Ralfini explains that she learned the bizarre anti-ageing trick during her time in India, where she was studying a lovemaking method called Tantra. She describes a lover's semen as the freshest cell therapy available on the planet because it is packed with recognised proteins and minerals that are known to reduce the ageing process.

Writing on her website, Ms Ralfini added: "I came across one of the most beautiful women I'd ever seen in India and she told me she was in her late sixties but looked much younger. Her skin was so silky smooth and line free and I had to know her secret, which was that she used a face mask made from her husband's sperm."

Actress Heather Locklear, 51, said she uses also semen on her skin and it makes her look younger. These semen masks join the growing lists of other bizarre skin treatments which include Kim Kardashian's vampire facials during which she draws her own blood before injecting it back into her face and Simon Cowell's sheep placenta facials.
