I Tried The Bird Poop Facial | Beauty With Mi | Refinery29
Watch as Refinery29's beauty writer Mi-Anne Chan gets the Geisha Facial treatment at New York's Shizuka, it's main ingredient being bird poop. Yep. You read that right.
Geishas were well-known for their porcelain complexion, but it came at a cost as the zinc in their face powder would cause chronic skin problems. The use of nightingale poop facials would remove the excess makeup and help to brighten and heal their skin. This traditional beauty treatment is now being used today to garner the same results. Shizuka spa ends each facial with a hydrating green tea collagen mask.
Mi-Anne brought along model Sonya Esman to experience the whole process and determine whether or not bird poop really does give you great skin! Watch to see the before and after results on this episode of 'Beauty With Mi.'

Correction: A previous version of this story misidentified "guanine," as an amino acid rather than a nitrogenous base. We regret the error. www.refinery29.com/shizuka-gei...

I'm pretty sure if the Japanese thought about making this method public, then they would have had to done some research to remove any possible bacteria. I mean, there's a reason why many envy the Japanese for their innovative inventions.

Just a slight correction as a BioChem student: Guanine is actually not an amino acid, it's one of the four nitrogenous bases that make up deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA. The DNA then codes for amino acids like leucine, glycine or aspartic acid :)

She is just mentioning what products she feels is closest to the facial she underwent. So u can more often pamper urself long-term. If you feel you have cheaper products than she mentions, u can anyways do what you like. Why bring her down? I think she is doing a fab job! All d best sweets!
Such a great video Mi-Anne! So proud of you! I am considering this facial now just for the massage, poop not so much...

When i read the title I was like "I have to watch this!"😂
This should be the most viewed vid of the series
your skin looked most hydrated, smooth shine and even complexion with glow ,out of all the facials shown by you
Woah! wasn't expecting the recommendations at all, that was the best part. Also, I used the daily superfolient it's amazing worth the splurge!
Dermologica is such a great line.
Great vid! Thanks for sharing.
Amazing vid Love it!!! v
i use dermalogica. i like it but make sure u read it and make sure it works with ur skin type
That dermalogica stuff works! Cuz I use it in the shower sometimes
3:42 i got so confused like wtf happened to her face! 😂😂😂
I wish they would find people like a lottery system and do other peoples skin! She is perfect and has no flaws!

"if u can't afford a $180 facial buy these!!" a $58 face cleanser and $72 oil?? that's not much cheaper at all lol sorry i don't have $130 to blow on cleaning my face when i can spend $3 on witch hazel and like $8 on some face wash lmao

Brianna morgan it is cheaper because a facial is a biweekly thing... so you’d be blowing $360 monthly vs $130 of products that will most likely last a couple of months if you don’t use them wrong.

Usually I would want to fall asleep during a facial, but since this one is POOP, I'd stay wide awake the whole time.
I thought they where going to let a bird poop on her face.
Не ожидала увидеть Соню😵😵❤️
i know that lady from thailand... is it the one that jack white saw as part of his gap year tv netflix series
I just wish they would use the correct terms lol. She’s not a facial massager, shes and an esthetician. The “weird” machine is a steamer.
Honestly Sonya looks high but I can’t say anything cause I look high 24/7
Now I know I'm not the only who can't breath when that air is blowing. Besides that this was quite interesting and something I'm open to trying.

guanine is what builds our dna it’s one of the bases that are found in a nucleotide along with a phosphate and a sugar so idk what she’s talking about “gives a shiny look”
Omg the girl that got the facial with Mi looks like Noah Schnapp’s older sister 😂💖
did anyone notice that it wasnt mianne doing the facial but another person and in the end they switched the person to mianne
