Some people will try almost anything in the hope of better skin. That’s what a young influencer named Malelly admitted when she shared her unusual morning routine. What began as a natural experiment soon turned into a turning point she never expected.

At the start of the year, the 27-year-old began using her boyfriend’s frozen sperm as a daily facial cleanser. She kept it in ice cube trays and believed it worked like a “collagen bomb.” She loved the glow it seemed to give her skin and felt she had found a natural secret.

But the routine quickly created tension at home. At first, her boyfriend laughed and felt oddly helpful. With time, though, he began feeling less like a partner and more like a supplier, which made their relationship slowly cool.

Arguments followed as he questioned whether she cared for him or only for the skincare ritual. Malelly says she eventually realized the emotional cost was becoming too high. What she saw as a harmless beauty method was making him feel undervalued and uncomfortable.

Their relationship ended, leaving her searching for new natural alternatives that don’t complicate her personal life. She now jokes about finding a “new supplier,” but also admits she needs a healthier balance between beauty and love.

Experts warn there’s no scientific proof that semen benefits the skin, and it may even cause irritation or health risks. In the end, Malelly learned that glowing skin isn’t worth losing the person who stands beside you.
