In what might be the ultimate in green beauty care and recycling, one spa in New York City is offering bird poo facials.

Now, before you get grossed out, let me also mention that, apparently, bird poo was used as a skin cleanser in Japan for centuries. The vital ingredient in the poo is guanine, which supposedly has a number of skin revitalizing properties.

Oh, and the facials run for about $216 American dollars. For bird poo facials!
