As women we'll do anything to remain youthful and thin, but would you ever go to the extent of drinking your own pee? Sylvia Chandler, a 63-year-old mother of two claims she's maintained her looks by drinking, washing her face, and moisturizing with her OWN urine.
The mom says that urine has everything you need to sustain a healthy life and has been drinking it for the past 20 years! Let that sink in a second. Can you believe that? TWO decades!

While unconventional, Chandler's beauty routine consists of drinking a glass of urine in the morning and then a couple more throughout the day. "It tastes delicious – it's a bit like water, but sweeter," she explained to Closer online . She even keeps around old urine in a bottle to heal wounds.
The mother who has been three times divorced, and is currently single (gee, I wonder why) explained why she chose to follow this gross beauty treatment. "For nine months before you were born you floated in a combination of your own and your mother's urine," said adding, "You drank it, it fed you, it grew your lungs entirely. All of your skin, your bones are made from tiny crystals which are all formed by urine."
She claims that her routine has kept her healthy and that she hasn't gotten sick or seen a doctor in over 10 years. Chandler even says that young men everywhere are amazed by her youthful looks and that her urine drinking keeps her energized. However, doctors say there is no scientific proof that urine has any health benefits–especially since it's a form of human waste.
I thought the couple who shared everything was gross, but this is even more vomit inducing. How anyone can think of drinking their own urine, let alone actually do it, is beyond me. Are we going to hear about women rubbing feces in their hair to keep it shiny too? I'm not surprised that Chandler is single and divorced many times if she's been doing this disgusting beauty treatment for so long. That smell could drive the smelliest bum away! If it were up to me, I'd rather look old than have to bathe in and drink my own urine to keep the wrinkles away.
