Did you know that nightingale droppings are the secret of the Geisha’s flawless complexion?
I did from one of the 100 plus books I have on Japan from when I lived there. However I never even remotely considered nightingale droppings for myself, it’s actually a dream come true! I am totally into the idea, I cannot get to Shizuka’s Day spa fast enough. It’s an interesting offering for New York, there are for sure more pigeons available to get poop from.
Safety: I know many people will be concerned about the safety of the bird poop facial. All the reports say that the bird poop (Uguisu no Fun in Japanese) is “sanitized through exposure to ultraviolet light to kill bacteria before being finely milled into powder…”
How far will you go for beauty?
So are you up to using the ancient Japanese ingredient in your next facial? watch the vids they are great, the Japanese one loops after 2 minutes. Let me know what you think…

I really want to get past the poop part — I’m always open to new facial ideas but this one could take some getting used to!

I don’t think I could handle bird poop in my facial. I’m just not that open to change. LOL!

Hi, my name is Rebecca and I am working with Shizuka New York. Thanks for your coverage of the new Geisha Facial and for helping generate buzz around this new skin care trend. Because of the recent buzz, we shot a video to show that we do indeed have a sense of humor about the Geisha Facial special ingredient - nightingale droppings.
