Women Flock To Bird Poop Facials

Excrement Sterilized With UV Light

POSTED: Wednesday, June 11, 2008

Nightingale

Getting hit by a bird bomb is usually considered a gross inconvenience, but some women in New York are paying big bucks for a facial containing the excrement.

A story on CNN.com said women are flocking to Shizuka New York for the Geisha Facial, which contains nightingale poop.

The service costs $180, about $100 more than most of the other services there.

The story said the powder contains an amino acid called guanine, which is thought to brighten skin.

Japanese makers of the "uguisu no fun" powder kill bacteria with UV radiation.
