– Neal B. Schultz, M.D., Park Avenue Skin Care, New York, New York

Nobody likes falling victim to birds’ mess dropping on them from above – even though it is supposed to bring good luck.

But for Victoria and David Beckham it is more a case of bird poo bringing them a good look, rather than good luck.

Victoria, who has long battled problem skin, puts her new clear complexion down to a bizarre new beauty regime involving bird poo.

And it seems David has been getting involved too.

It has emerged that the stylish couple have been indulging in beauty treatments to improve their skin.

Victoria, 34, has been regularly indulging in $200 Geisha Facials, using a paste made from nightingale droppings, to combat acne she has suffered since her teens.

A pal told Closer magazine: ‘When Victoria was in Japan recently she was admiring the local women’s clear skin and discovered it was down to these facials.

‘She was intrigued and when she got back to the US she found that some New York beauty salons now offer the treatment.

‘She tried it and loved how great her skin looked. She also uses a cream derived from nightingale poo at home.’

I did some reasearch on Geisha Facials, and this is what I found! A salon in NY called Shizuka specializes in these facials.  For more information on the Geisha Facial, go here!

Why Nightingale Droppings?

Shizuka remembered hearing about uguisu no fun from her mother while growing up in Tokyo. Japanese women have always prized pale, porcelain complexions and Shizuka’s mother always stressed proper skincare and limiting sun exposure. When Shizuka was researching new and interesting facial skin care ingredients, she thought back to her childhood and her mother’s story about how geisha used nightingale droppings to keep their skin clear and pale.

Are nightingale droppings safe/sanitary to use on my face?

Yes, the nightingale droppings used at Shizuka New York Day Spa are professionally sanitized under UV light and powdered before being applied to the face.

Does the nightingale droppings facial mask smell?

Although the uguisu no fun has a slight musky aroma on its own, Shizuka’s special mask formulation neutralizes this aroma, leaving a mild “organic” smell from the rice bran.

$180 for bird poop?

The Geisha Facial is a full facial skin care treatment that includes thorough cleansing of the face with Shizuka NY’s Skin Care System, pore extraction, light massage and an antioxidant collagen mask in addition to the nightingale droppings mask.

Lisa Hoffman (wife of Dustin Hoffman) created a luxury skincare line to fit her busy life focused on  high quality, organized and easy to travel with products. A  great product from her line the Spa Packette’s are perfect for an at home spa day or for a special night away.

I have been dying to try this line since I received it in the mail. I carved out a little time after dinner at took a little at home spa time strictly for research purposes! I love that it comes in little ampules it would be perfect to take while you are traveling but also compact enough to not overtake your bathroom. Each tube can be used for a single application or resealed if you want to stretch it out.

One of my favorite items from the spa packette has to be the body wash, I finally undestand what people mean by luxurious foam. Instead of normal bubbles when I put a little body wash on my bath puff it made the most fluffy creamy foam that smells as decadent as it feels.

After using the wash I followed with the body polish and both creams, my skin feels amazing tonight you I feel like I just spent a day at the spa.

Lisa Hoffman Spa Bath Packette

A complete bath care regimen offered in a portable and resealable packette. Each airtight ampoule contains the following products: Bath Soak, Body Wash, Body Polisher, Body Cream, and Hand & Foot Butter.

Recently I was sent a big package full of samples from International Orange.  I was really excited to try them out because I’d read so many wonderful things about their products online. 

I tried each of the products listed below, and honestly – I could never choose a favorite.  They are each amazing.  If I had to pick something out as the best – I would lean towards RESTORE a hair wash, and NOURISH a hair cream.  My hair smelled and felt amazing.  When my husband snuggled in for bed after I had used it – he kept telling me how amazing my hair smelled.  And it did, it was truly amazing.

I use ANOINT a body oil after I’ve taken a shower.  I rub some on my wrists, and behind my ears – and I smell like I’ve spent the day at the salon.  It’s just the most relaxing smell, it’s wonderful.

I haven’t used the small sample of BATHE a bath soak quite yet, because I’m saving it for a special occasion.  At $75 for 16 ounces, I’ll wait until I’ve had a really bad day.

I just had the chance to review some new products from the Loreal Vichy line and I am very happy with the results. One of my favorites was the Aqualia Thermal Eyes. I have used a lot of different eye treatments but I have an issue with them somehow getting into my eyes while I sleep and I usually wake up and my eyes feel like they are burning. This is one of the first eye treatments that didn’t end up hurting my eyes and the results are great.

When I wake up no matter how much sleep I get my eyes are always a bit puffy, a little dab of Aqualia Thermal Eyes and by the time my coffee kicks in my eyes are no longer puffy and look much brighter. I have also seen a decrease in my under eye color I can get dark circles with the lack of sleep I try to live on and Aqualia Thermal Eyes helps me hide the effects!

There are a few things that I love about Aqualia Thermal Lotion, first I love that it has SPF 30. I have found a lot of great moisturizers  but my one issue is they either don’t include an SPF or it’s too low a grade to protect my skin. My other favorite thing about Aqualia Thermal Lotion is how quickly it absorbs and my skin never feels greasy and it stays moisturized throughout the entire day.  It’s a great everyday moisturizer and I love the packaging  its easy for daily use and it’s compact enough to fight in my overnight makeup bag.

Psoriasis is a chronic disease that affects 125 million people worldwide and almost 8 million Americans. Recent studies indicate that nearly 60% of psoriasis patients said their disease was a large problem in their everyday life. Grammy Award-winning artist LeAnn Rimes just announced that she is a lifelong psoriasis sufferer. She hopes to bring more attention to this skin disease so that more people are aware of the physical and emotional effects of psoriasis.

According to People.com, Rimes, 26, was diagnosed with the chronic autoimmune disease at age 2. By age 6 she was covered in red, scaly patches that would crack and bleed. “Not only does that take a physical toll on your body, but it takes an emotional toll,” Rimes tells PEOPLE. “I was very self-conscious.”

Psoriasis Facts

Psoriasis imposes a significant financial burden on the individual and the healthcare system – overall costs of treating the disease may exceed $3 billion annually in the US.3

For most people, psoriasis has a significant and unfavorable impact on quality of life. Recent studies indicate the following:
Nearly 60% of patients said their disease was a large problem in their everyday life.4
Patients with psoriasis covering more of their body experience a greater negative impact on their quality of life.5
Psoriasis had a greater impact on quality of life in women and younger patients.5
