The vitamins in the beer bath offered at Hotel U Sládka in the Czech Republic is said to rejuvenate your pores and relieve tension in your muscles. The active beer yeast reportedly provides the skin with a wide range of vitamins, proteins and saccharides, and contributes to overall softening and regeneration of the skin. In the end, you are wrapped up in a fleece quilt and allowed to nap for 20 minutes as your blood pressure slowly decreases, muscle tension gets released and the body energy is renewed.

Nightingale Droppings Facial, also known as Uguisu No Fun or Bird Poop Facial, is a rare and effective facial treatment with over 400 years of history in Japan. It reportedly brightens the skin, hydrates it for very long periods, makes pores smaller and gives it a younger and softer look. Japanese women who used the treatment in ancient times were called “Porcelain Ladies” because of their flawlessly smooth, bright skin. This treatment is so rare that only a select few spas in the world carry it.
