So you guys out there want to look as hot as Tom Cruise and have that perfect complexion too, at 50? All you need to do is smear bird-poo on your face!

Yep, that’s right! Apparently, Tom doesn’t get botox jabs! Instead, he uses a face-pack which is a mixture of  nightingale excrement with rice bran and water.

Uguisu is the name of the Japanese nightingale which appears in spring and has a beautiful song even throughout the night. Apart from the nightingale being known for its beautiful song, nightingale droppings are also used in Japan as a traditional application for silky white skin the product is known as Uguisu No Fun. The story is that a maiden fell asleep under a tree where some nightingale droppings fell on to her face. When she awoke the dried ‘poop’ was cleaned away and it was noticed her skin had become smoother and lighter in colour.
