The Geisha Facial  

This traditional Japanese facial is not your typical treatment as it contains an unusual ingredient: powdered nightingale droppings. Yes, bird shat. The excrement contains enzymes that exfoliate and brighten the skin, leaving it soft and vibrant looking. Who knew? The full treatment takes about 50 minutes and is available for $180 at Shizuka Day Spa.
