For the birds: a dropping-filled face mask
At Santa Fe’s Ten Thousand Waves spa, the Nightingale Cleansing Mask includes a powder composed of “sanitized droppings” from the tiny wonder-birds. The high nitrogen content draws out bacteria from the skin and breaks down dead skin cells more gently than acid peels. Used for centuries by geisha in Japan, the facial is “an all-natural way to brighten and smooth the skin.” Is your old-fashioned poop-free exfoliator suddenly looking better than usual? We thought so.
Nightingale Cleansing Mask, 55 minutes, $115. Ten Thousand Waves spa, www.tenthousandwaves.com; Santa Fe, N.M., 505-992-5025.
