Bird Dropping Facials - Would You Dare?

I've never been afraid to wander off the beaten path when it comes to my beauty regime. From mayonnaise in my hair, to hemorrhoid cream on my eyes, I'll try anything once. But I may have crossed the line when I went to the Shizuka NY Day Spa (http://www.shizukany.com/) for the Geisha Facial($180). The treatment sounded alluring initially - until I discovered the main ingredient was nightingale droppings.
At first, I was afraid they’d be sloshing the excrement on my face straight from the bottom of the birdcage, but thankfully it came in a purified powder form. This ingredient actually dates back to the time when geishas were in need of something to remove their heavy makeup and cleanse their delicate skin. How they discovered nightingale droppings, I’m not sure, but it has been a staple ever since in the world’s poshest spas. The powder, combined with rice bran, is supposed to exfoliate and brighten the skin. To my surprise, it worked. I emerged from the facial with a smooth and glowing complexion. The whole treatment was very luxurious and relaxing, but this is one facial I won’t be trying at home.
As an employee of Bird-X, Inc (http://www.bird-x.com (http://www.bird-x.com/)), this entry is definitely the most unusual article about bird droppings I've ever seen. Bird droppings have a very high amount of exfoliating uric acid in them (also why they ruin the finish on your car paint). Still, droppings in their natural form can spread many diseases (e.coli, salmonella, even fatal fungal infections) to humans so definitely don't try to recreate this at home!
