We’ve all seen those TV shows in which Japanese women have their faces painted white and wondered what exactly that thing is that makes them look like ceramic dolls. Well, turns out that the answer to that is poop. The poop of a specific type of nightingale, the Japanese bush warbler, is appropriately called uguisu no fun (literally ‘nightingale feces’) in Japanese and is often used as form of beauty treatment. Applying uguisu no fun on your skin has been known to make skin softer and brighter.
This ancient Japanese technique is migrating westwards. High-end spas in New York and other Americans cities that probably don’t let any kind of wildlife within a 5 mile radius of them, are beginning to offer uguisu no fun facials. Some companies charge up to $180 for one treatment. So, would you pay $180 for magical poop on your face?
