Given the importance of appearances in modern society, I can understand why people might go to great lengths to maximize their looks for as long as possible. At the same time, some people take it just a little bit too far.
Lately, women in New York have been spending over $200 for bird poop facials at the Shizuka New York Salon. Apparently, the guanine in the feces helps to even out skin tone, remove impurities, and unclog pores. While the nightingale droppings they use are sterilized and powdered, I won't be joining their waitlist any time soon.
On the other hand, if you'd like to have a bird poop facial but can't afford the $216/session fee, you can purchase your own bird droppings for a mere $17.99 here.
I have to wonder, though - Do other types of birds have guanine in their feces, too? If so, I'm going to start harvesting my parrots' poop and open my own salon.
