Nightingale Dropping Facial

Though Steven Spielberg’s big-screen geisha failed to mention this in her memoirs, Kabuki actors and geisha in Japan have been smearing their faces with enzyme-filled nightingale excrement for years to keep their complexions clear, white and smooth. Taking a hint from these lovely faced lads and lasses, Diamond Spa at Diamond Hawaii Resort & Spa in Maui begins all featured facials with a coating of dehydrated (and scent-free) nightingale excrement, which apparently provides spa-goers with flawless skin.
