Bird Poop Facial, 400 Year Old Japanese Art Harnesses Powerful Enzymes

If snails slugging across your face wasn't quite disgustingly expensive, obscure and down-right luxurious enough for you, well then, you're in for a treat. Spend a nice day at the spa in New York City with the exotic and stinky bird poop facial.

According to Fox News on Friday, a spa in the city is allegedly offering the traditional Japanese treatment that uses important Asian "nightingale excrement" mixed with rice to lather over your face for just $180. (Let's sign grandma up for one, too!)

A lot of folks trot down to the fancy Shizuka New York skin care salon in Manhattan to have bird feces smeared all over their snoots for--well, a soft and smooth face? (Let's face it, these days artists will come up with anything to massage onto your face and/or body to give that 'glowing' effect. Next thing you know, people will be cleaning themselves with urine. Oh wait a minute, they're already doing that in some places.)

In any case, some experts believe that bird poo contains enzymes that help to gently rid the skin of impurities and other imperfections.

In fact, the organization's website is so sure of this facial and the amazingness of bird crap, that they just come right out and admit that it indeed is the main ingredient. Yet, we know from this bird poop treatment, also known as the Geisha Facial poop treatment, has been practiced for over 400 years in Japan.

And apparently, some have said the odorous facial isn't the most pleasant of sents, but, more than anything, most participants seem to connect it's smell with toasted rice. (Well that's a relief!)

In any case, if you've got $180 and are eccentric, you only live once. Might as well give it a go.
