Bird poo used for beauty face mask

Aurelie

Hi, I came across this, and was wondering if any of you would do something like this? I know I wouldn't unless I wasn't told, I know it's been cleaned and stuff, and above things I do eat eggs (ewwww) but that is a bit too far in my eyes, he he he, what do you think? PS: the link is in case you were wondering where I got that from. Also if you Google Burd Poo + cosmetics, you get loads of results. http://www.metro.co.uk/news/article.html?in_article_id=50826&in_page_id=34
Bird poo used for beauty face mask Monday, May 28, 2007 While millions of women are snapping up age-defying skin creams, the latest miracle cure for a sagging face has just arrived – nightingale poo. The bird droppings, applied in a 90- minute facial, are packed with an enzyme called guanine – an amino acid which heals the skin, experts claim. The treatment has already been used by Japanese geishas to remove make-up and leave the skin silky smooth, while monks polish their shaved heads with the droppings.

'The droppings, which are applied as a mask with Japanese white clay, are completely safe and treated under UV light to remove bacteria,' said Hari Salem, owner of Hari's in Knightsbridge, West London. 'We have been trying the nightingale facial out and it has been an unbelievable success for treating tortured, dull and Sun-damaged skin. 'The treatment was pioneered by the Geisha girls of Kyoto. It is an ancient tradition that goes back centuries and is totally organic,' he added.
The salon has introduced other radical treatments – including bull semen. Afarm in Cheshire supplies the thoroughbred semen – which is massaged into dry, coarse hair to provide it with protein.

I'd pass on the Bird poo as I'm skeptical it would have much benefit.

Snake Massage, butt facial?

Butt facial? How can they? Are you part of those people who have a nose and a mouth on their butts?

What next, a nose pedicure? ( nosicure?)

Seriously there are too many people with too much money and time on their hand.

Would I want to bathe in a vat of wine, or beer? Champagne maybe but even then, I'd need a hunk to lick my body dry, maybe then would I consider doing something like that!

I might, under the proper conditions, do the fish reflexology thing. By "proper conditions", I mean "after having a few drinks." I really do hate buffing my feet and I know that it doesn't hurt since I have a fish tank and get nipped on a regular basis. The chocolate fondue body treatment and the wine bath just seem like a waste of chocolate and wine.
Some of these treatments may actually work but I'll wait until science has identified the active ingredient, and found a non-disgusting way to include it in a non-sensational but effective product.

The fish pedicure has come to the US. www.alllacqueredup.com/index.html blogged about it today. It really doesn't sound that disgusting to me. It reminds me of being in Barbados and standing there in the water looking at all the pretty little fish swimming around my feet. Anyway, there's a salon in Washington D.C. offering this. The state board required that they set up separate tanks and change the water completely for each customer. Unfortunately, that has the potential to be really stressful for the fish.

Howdy, Stranger!
