Guwahati: What people don’t do to look beautiful? From milk-yogurt to gram flour, etc., they apply everything, get surgery done, use expensive products and sometimes use such strange things that you have hardly heard of.
Similarly, they also go to the parlor and get facials and different treatments done. But to look beautiful, there is also a treatment that you have to strengthen your mind to get it done because knowing about it will make you feel disgusted. There is also a facial in the beauty industry that is done with bird poop.
Yes, there is a facial from the poop of the bird and this is not a new treatment method but an ancient method that people are still using.
According to report, bird’s poop is applied on the face to make it beautiful and soften the skin. It is called bird poop facial. But it does not happen from the poop of any such bird. Its other name is ‘Nightingale Poop Facial’ because it is made from the poop of Nightingale bird.
‘Nightingale’s Poop is 100% safe because the bird poop is passed under a UV light which senitizes it.
The poop is also rich in urea which is an ingredient found in a lot of moisturizes and it’s also rich in guanine which is an amino acid that helps give the skin shimmery , luminous quality.
When did this facial start?
This is not a new way to get beauty. It is also called ‘Japanese facial’ or ‘geisha facial’. Japanese artist Geisha and artists who performed japanese dance drama Kabuki started using it in the 17th century. Artists had to do a lot of lead i.e. lead-mixed makeup, due to which their skin was damaged. By applying the bird’s poop on the face, he found that the skin is glowing and also becoming soft.
How much does this facial cost?
Since ancient times, people have believed that bird’s feces have anti-aging characteristics, which improve the skin of women and reduce their lifespan. The poop of any nightingale is not used to make the substance of this facial, rather, the poop of bulbul is collected from a Japanese island of Kyushu.
According to a report, the price of a 90-minute session of this facial is around Rs 18,000, while recently an entertainment website named Koimoi revealed that famous Hollywood actor Tom Cruise also gets the same facial and the cost of one of his sessions is around Rs 14,000. Victoria Beckham, wife of footballer David Beckham, also gets the same facial done.
