We’re all for trying the latest beauty trends, but when it comes to this latest facial, we might just have to take a step back.
The newest trend is favoured by Tom Cruise and Victoria Beckham, and involves bird excrement.
Although you could probably have a bird poop on you for free while walking home from work, there is an enzyme in nightingale poop that cleanses and exfoliates the skin.
According to New York dermatologist Debra Jaliman, “The bird dung is UV irradiated to make it sterile,” and isn’t as laden in bacteria as you might expect.
So how exactly does the bird bowel contents work its way into your skincare routine?
The bird poop facial uses powdered nightingale droppings, and can be massaged into your skin for $180 at Shizuka New York Day Spa.
And the question we’re all wondering… is there a smell?
Well according to the website:
‘Although the uguisu [nightingale poop] no fun has a slight musky aroma on its own, Shizuka’s special bird poop facial mask formulation neutralizes this aroma, leaving a mild “organic” smell from the rice bran.’
You mightn’t want to plan any lunch dates after this one so…
