Poo Bare

Nightingale Droppings Facial

oh, poo!

Some drop names to look good. Others, cash. But serious impressions are made when the dropping’s left to someone else.

For example? The deeply nourishing facial using nightingale poos, from the salon that brought us the conditioning bull semen hair treatment.

And, no, it isn’t a load of crap. Due to the enzyme guanine, an amino acid which purports to heal and bleach the skin, the substance has been used for millennia in Japan by geishas and Kabuki actors to remove make-up and by monks to polish their shaved heads.

The biggies aren’t scraped off any old windscreen; they’re completely purified before going anywhere near your face. And when they do — alongside gold leaf soap, adzuki bean scrub and green tea shea butter — they soften and brighten the skin.

So the next time you want to look good, keep this stuff in mind.

Because it’s not to be poo-poo’d.
