Of all the extreme ways to make yourself look younger, this might just be the most bird-brained。

盡管世上讓你年輕美容的方法千千萬，這也許是最不用動腦的一種了!(小編注：bird-brained為雙關(guān)語，有愚蠢的意思，同時本文的“鳥糞面膜”也與bird相關(guān))

A British spa is offering a new anti-wrinkle treatment in which clients pay ￡180 to have nightingale droppings smeared on to their skin。

一家英國美容中心提供了一種去皺新產(chǎn)品療法，顧客只需付180英鎊，就可以享受夜鶯糞便面膜服務(wù)。

The unusual facial is already popular in Hollywood, with Tom Cruise among those who swear by its effectiveness。

這種不同尋常的面部保養(yǎng)方法已經(jīng)在好萊塢明星之間流行起來，他們說這種面膜效果非常好，湯姆·克魯斯就是其中之一。

The 51-year-old actor started the treatments two years ago, and believes they have dramatically improved his complexion。

51歲的湯姆·克魯斯兩年前開始做鳥糞面膜，他相信這種面膜能夠很好地改善自己的膚色和膚質(zhì)。

Other fans include Victoria Beckham, 40, who began having the facials after a visit to Japan。

其他在做鳥糞面膜的明星還有維多利亞·貝克漢姆，這位40歲的女星在一次去日本之后開始做鳥糞面膜。

Billed as an alternative to Botox injections, the droppings – which are collected on the Japanese island of Kyushu – are mixed with rice bran and water before being applied as a mask and left to soak into the pores for an hour。

鳥糞面膜的價格和肉毒桿菌注射的費(fèi)用相當(dāng)，其中的鳥糞是從日本九州島采集而來，然后和米糠及清水混合攪拌，鋪在面膜貼上，再把鳥糞面膜在面部敷一個小時左右就可以了。

They contain enzymes which are said to break down dead skin – restoring complexions that have been damaged by ageing and sun exposure – and were traditionally used to help Japanese geisha remove the thick white make-up they were expected to wear。

這種面膜里包含去除死皮的酶類物質(zhì)，可以修復(fù)陽光曬傷或年齡衰老造成的面部問題。這種面膜原本是給日本妓藝卸妝用的，鳥糞混合液可以去除臉部厚厚的粉。

The mixture apparently does not smell of excrement, but is said to have a musty odour。

顯然鳥糞面膜并沒有糞便的味道，而是有一種霉臭味。

Emma Hu, director of the Spa to You centre at the Hilton Hotel on London's Park Lane, said: 'The nightingales were fed on caterpillars that eat from plum trees。

艾瑪·胡是倫敦公園街上希爾頓酒店的Spa to You護(hù)膚中心主管，他說：“夜鶯是吃著梅樹上的毛毛蟲長大的。”

'Clients are intrigued, but after the hour-long treatment users say it gives a shimmery, iridescent effect to the skin.'

“顧客們對鳥糞面膜都很好奇，但是做過1小時面膜護(hù)理的人都說，鳥糞面膜可以讓肌膚閃亮、透白。”
