The article about snail therapy caused conflicting feelings. It seemed that a more original way to improve the skin could not be invented. It turns out there is. This is bird droppings. The Daily Herald reports that a Manhattan salon (Shizuka) uses bird droppings as a skin exfoliator.
New York spa owner Shizuka Bernstein, who was born in Tokyo, says she has been offering her clients to improve their skin with bird droppings for the past five years. She claims that every month about a hundred clients come to her specifically to perform this procedure, which is euphemistically called the "Geisha Mask". Shizuka says the enzymes in bird waste help exfoliate the skin.
Before applying the "geisha mask" First, the pores are opened using steam, which also softens the skin. Then a cream is applied to the skin, after which a mixture of cream-colored bird droppings, which has previously been dried, finely ground and mixed with rice bran, is applied to the face. The smell of this substance resembles fried rice. Wash it off 5 minutes after application. The final step of the procedure is the application of a green tea mask.
More traditional alternatives to this procedure are microdermabrasion – non-invasive method that helps to remove the top layers of the skin, while eliminating superficial wrinkles and other spots. Botox can be used to treat wrinkles around the mouth and eyes, and chemical peels can help patients with sun spots. Moreover, these methods are approved by the American Association of Plastic Surgery.
