Semen and Skin: Examining the Viral Skincare Claim

Some people believe semen can improve skin, but this is incorrect.

Semen has water, proteins, and minerals.

But these ingredients are unstable and not concentrated enough to help skin.

Your skin also has a protective layer that prevents them from being absorbed.

Dermatologists recommend using proven skincare products like sunscreen and retinoids instead.

Applying semen to your face might cause irritation or infections, so it's best to avoid it.
