Japanese Beauty Secrets

I love to look around the world for centry old beauty regimens and miracles from different cultures. The most unique and famous for their pefect skin and hair is Japan. They pride them selves in their fair skin. They belive the fairer the skin the more elegant and wealthy you were,meaning you wernt outside in the fields but indoors being pamperd. So I have just a few things they use to keep that perfect skin.


Nightingale droppings.

Contains naturally occuring bleaching agent guanine !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 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.




The powdered nightingale guano is a fine powder that is mixed to form a paste and applied to the skin as a face pack. It is mildly lightening on the skin while smoothing the complexion and leaves the skin feeling soft and nourished.
The uguisu no fun is a traditional skin care product safely sold and hygienically collected for cosmetic skin purposes. The fun or droppings contain ammonic agents - a naturally occuring enzyme called guanine which lightens the skin while smoothing and toning the complexion. Uguisu no Fun is thoroughly sterilized under UV light to make it extra safe for cosmetic use. For use as a natural face pack and skin brightening treatment for blemishes or smoothing the complexion.




Silk worm coocoons




Silkworm cocoons Mayutama contain a naturally woven silk protein called sericin. Sericin helps balance the skin's amino acid content, and stimulates the epidermis - outer layer of skin. These cocoons measure about 3cms x 2 cms and fit neatly on to the end of the fingertip. Use them dampened in water to exfoliate and smooth the facial pores by removing dead skin and making the skin appear healthy and vibrant.
