Afia Schwarzenegger, a popular socialite, has advised women to leave their unfaithful boyfriends, citing it as one of the factors that contribute to severe acne problems.
There has long been a prevalent misconception that spermine, an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory substance found in sperm and cells throughout the human body, might help with acne.
Although there is no evidence to support this, some women have turned to semen facials and having more sex to treat their cystic acne rather than seeking medical attention.
However, Afia Schwarzenegger believes that not just any sperm can make the skin gleam.
This, she claims, only pertains to sperm from faithful males.
This is what newlywed Afia captioned an Instagram image showing off her skin.
“Men who do not cheat produce healthy sperm, which makes a woman glow.” Fact!!!! Pimples bebree nu nyinaa fri is all I’m saying. Bra nu… Leave that moron alone.”
Meanwhile, no scientific evidence exists to justify the use of sperm as a cure for acne.
According to dermatologists, while sperm includes protein, zinc, magnesium, prostaglandins, and fructose, these compounds are present in insufficient amounts to provide any actual benefit.
However, specialists have warned those who apply sementon on their faces or swallow it that they may unintentionally expose themselves to illnesses.
