Geisha facial using bird excrement
Forget avocado, evening primrose oil or other exotic ingredients, the latest geisha facial to hit New York is a mask made with bird excrement.
The Geisha Facial price at Shizuka New York is $180, about $100 more than the shop’s other facials, contains nightingale excrement.
The Japanese powder, also known as uguisu no fun, is rich in the amino acid guanine, said to brighten and cleanse skin. In the 18th century geishas and kabuki actors used the powder to clean heavy white makeup off their faces. “I’m always trying to bring Japanese culture and tradition to my spa,” said Shizuka Bernstein. “I heard my mother talk about this treatment when I was a little girl.”
The Japanese manufacturers of the powder treat it with ultraviolet light to kill bacteria. Bernstein mixes the substance at her spa with finely-ground rice bran to neutralize its slightly musky odor. She claims the mask helps women achieve a porcelain white quality to their skin. “I was a little tentative at first,” said a girl at spa, who recently received the geisha treatment. “But there was no smell. It was creamy and rich.”

Actor Malaika Arora Khan is also open to trying it out. “One keeps hearing of these treatments and they sound very interesting and exciting,” she says, adding, “If they come with a certification, then why not?”
UNAPPEALING, But Geisha Facial is good
A Dermatologist says that certain offbeat ingredients do lurk in some beauty products. According to her, they can’t all be verified, but might just work. “For instance, beetle juice is supposed to be a collagen stimulant. One hears of a certain synthetic snake venom that has abotox - l i ke reaction on the face. There is snail slime that is in demand today. It is said to have moisturising properties owing to the proteins, glycolic acids and elastin in it”.
But while exotic ingredients may seem like a magic wand, experts say one should definitely look at the flip side. Take the case of Geisha facials, which have become quite a rage at a spa in New York. Said to have nightingale droppings among its ingredients, they are what Japanese geishas attributed their flawless skin to. “It may have brightening agents, but one hears that prolonged use leads to bad skin,” says geisha facial expert, adding, “The problem with such so-called natural products is that they don’t need FDA approval, so they are easy to float in the market. I’d advise people to go for products with proper approval.”
A Cosmetic surgeon, says, “I read of the Dracula serum — which uses blood to remove wrinkles, heal scars, and give increased radiance to the skin — and while one can’t ridicule these treatments, there’s no medical evidence to indicate the claims made. Eventually, it depends on its sustainability. If geisha facial works for you, then it’s good for you.”
