Parimita Chakravorthy gets you the dope on 4 most exotic and rather bizarre facial treatments from around the world and tells you where you can experience them.
1. Fresh Egyptian Mud Spa
Fresh Egyptian mud spa is considered the secret behind sensuous Cleopatra’s beauty. The mud is supposedly rich in vitamins A, E, and essential fatty acids. It dissolves easily in water and has a high concentration of amino acids, minerals, plant hormones and vitamins.
Mi Spa in Chicago treats you with this ancient beauty secret- fresh Egyptian mud facial! A little amount of mud is mixed with shea butter to get you the rejuvenating facial. This improves the complexion, relaxes facial muscles, removes toxins, opens pores on the skin and staves off wrinkles. It also has anti bacterial and astringent qualities, giving your skin a fresh, youthful and healthy glow.
2. Nightingale Excrement Facials
The Geishas from Japan are considered to be the archetype of feminine beauty all across the world. According to sources, the secret behind their beauty lies in a special ingredient which may sound eccentric. Yes, nightingale droppings it is. The droppings, which are applied as a mask with Japanese white clay, are completely safe and treated under UV light to remove bacteria.
Shizuka Bernstein from Shizuka, New York day Spa where the Geisha Facial is available says, “Since we introduced the Geisha Facial at Shizuka New York Day Spa, it has become incredibly popular. The story of the Geisha Facial has travelled around the world, and it has become one of our most-requested facials. I am so pleased that clients love this facial as much as I do, and I am happy to be able to bring a small piece of Japanese culture to them with each Geisha Facial.”
Applied in a 90 minute facial, the bird droppings are packed with an enzyme called guanine - an amino acid which brightens and cleanses the skin. It also detoxifies the pores and is best suitable to treat dull and sun-damaged skin. To increase the exfoliation effects, you can even mix the droppings with rice bran. “At the end of it all, women achieve a porcelain white quality to their skin,” claims Shizuka.
3. Snail Slime Moisturising Facial
The thought of snail slime facial on your face might make you gag but it is really effective in treating older and wrinkled skin. Dr Nick Lowe, consultant dermatologist at the Cranley Clinic in London says, “Snail slime contains some moisturising ingredients like allantoin that makes the skin soft. In addition, it has glycolic acid, a pretty universal agent in humans and animals that causes skin to become tauter and smoother.” It further brightens and revitalizes the skin and significantly diminishes age spots, marks and acne.
4. Fanny Facials for the Butt
Yes, we are talking about fanny facials to plump up those soft cheeks of your derriere. The facial that lasts for 90 minutes starts with a massage of the backside using exfoliating scrub. After cleaning the area from lower back to upper thigh, eight black post-it size adhesive pads are placed at points on each buttock cheek and two on each inner thigh. Wires from the Diamond Dynamic Waveform therapy machine are plugged into the pads.
“These pads give out Faradic currents and specific shaped waves for 45 minutes to break down fat which is followed by organic spray tan,” says Body Perfect owner Marilia Silva-Brand from Canada who has boosted hundreds of fannies. The end result: You have smoother, tighter and toned buttocks! You can avail this treatment at Smooth Synergy in New York too.
