SHIZUKA is a New York Spa run by Shizuka Bernstein that offers the latest trend in skin care “Bird Poop” Facial which is made with all natural ingredients, including Japanese Rice Bran to brighten and soften skin complexion using natural enzymes.

“The most important ingredient is Uguisu no Fun, or powdered Nightingale Droppings, which is an old secret ingredient of the traditional kabuki actors and Geisha used to remove makeup.” says Shizuka.

The Geisha Facial based on an ancient Japanese tradition of using bird droppings to cleanse and brighten the skin. Ancient Geishas and kabuki actors found that only the droppings of the nightingale, an iconic beauty symbol, were able to effectively remove their thick, lead-containing makeup. The tradition of using nightingale poo facials and creams to achieve radiant, porcelain skin has gained popularity in the media and through celebrities such as Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice).
