Carter told, “we are here because of our vaginas and our blood and women don’t take enough credit for that.”

She further added that women have been taught to be ashamed of their periods.

While talking about tampons and menstrual pads, Carter said these are chemicals that use to hide our blood and compromise the natural functioning of our periods.

She further claimed that period blood is highly-packed with nutrients like protein, iron, and stem cells.

Explaining the process of how she uses period blood, Carter said that she collects fresh period blood with a menstrual cup and then takes a sip. She also applies it on her face with the help of a brush or fingers as a period face mask.

“When I drink my period blood, I will usually squat on the toilet, remove my menstrual cup and take a sip. I’m so connected to my body that I know exactly how much blood to drink. ‘Sometimes it’s just a sip, and sometimes it’s a whole menstrual cup because I need more nutrients.”

Carter believes that period blood is good for the skin. She feels refreshing and cooling after applying the menstrual blood to her face.

Texas dermatologist Jennifer Vickers told Cosmopolitan, “In theory, menstrual blood has many properties that are beneficial to the skin, such as anti-inflammatory properties and stem cells, but there is no current scientific evidence that supports the use of menstrual blood as a mask.”
