Japanese women are known for having that silky white complexion and flawless skin. Aside from genetics and environmental factors, ancient Japanese women have bizarre beauty practices that has proven to be effective yet, you might find it a little too much to handle.
Most of you might find it a little bit beyond your comfort zone if you are asked to smear your face with nightingale droppings or sea gull poops but yes, ancient Japanese women do! Uguisu, a Japanese powder made from Nightingale feces, was used by 18th century geishas and kabuki actors to wipe the heavy white makeup off their faces.
Meanwhile, Guanine, the rarified droppings are said to impart a soft, porcelain-white mien, but the cost is a bit expensive.
Another bizarre Japanese beauty tip is drinking of ground pig placenta. Japanese believes that placenta gives off energy and revitalizes youth.
More often, women (or men alike) have a strong desire to retain beauty and youthfulness, thus we tend to have our own set of unique beauty practices. We will be posting more beauty tips in this blog.
