An influencer who admits she’s “scared of ageing” has revealed she uses a cream made from bird droppings to stay looking youthful.
Model Ju Yixuan, who boasts over 2.1 million followers on Instagram, is known for creating lifestyle content and posting sexy photos online.
The 38-year-old also shared her skincare tips.
But her latest advice is rather unexpected.
Ju said she uses a Japanese face cream made from nightingale droppings, the droppings of a small passerine bird.
And she claims it also helps get rid of wrinkles.
“I first read about this cream when I was in New York and was a bit intrigued by the idea of bird droppings on your skin,” Ju, who is from Brazil, told What’s The Jam.
“I was looking for something different and innovative for my skincare and I thought Nightingale Poop Cream would be perfect for that.
“I’m scared of aging and losing the elasticity of my skin.
“This cream really helps me feel like I have control over the aging process.”
Ms Ju decided to give it a try, initially paying $180 (£140) for a bird droppings facial.
She said: “It was a bit scary at first.
“Aging is natural, but I confess the idea of losing my youth is scary.
“Many people may find this strange.
“But the results are worth it.”
Now she keeps the cream at home and uses it in her daily routine.
Each bottle costs $420 (£320).
According to Ju, this moisturizer is also highly effective in treating acne scars.
How to reverse ageing in just two weeks, according to the royal nutritionist
London-based Gabriella Peacock has helped plan the weddings of many guests, including Prince Harry and Princess Eugenie.
She told Fabulous magazine: “No matter what our genetic destiny may be, science is clear that we all have the power to make simple, life-changing changes to better our future selves.”
“The reality is that we fall into unhealthy eating habits like eating processed foods, smoking, drinking too much alcohol, inhaling urban pollution and even drinking bottled water – none of these are good for us.
“These things only accelerate the aging process, but we all have the power to change this.”
It may be hard, but try to avoid sugary carbs, which contribute to chronic inflammation and are one of the biggest enemies of aging.
Consuming these foods regularly will not only make you gain weight, but it will also affect your energy and hormone levels, affecting how you look and feel.
Regardless of your age or health condition, it’s never too late to reverse the aging process and regain the energy and vitality of your youth.
Antioxidants such as vitamins A, C and E are essential in neutralizing free radicals that contribute to premature aging.
Including a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables in your diet provides powerful antioxidants.
Omega-3 fatty acids, found in abundance in oily fish such as salmon and flaxseed, are essential for maintaining skin elasticity and hydration.
Omega 3 nourishes the skin, locking in moisture and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Collagen is a structural protein that declines with age, but can be replenished through collagen-rich foods such as bone broth and lean protein sources.
She said: “I think it’s important to try new beauty trends, even if they’re out of the ordinary.”
“The fear of aging isn’t just about how we look, it’s also about how we feel.
“Using the cream helps me maintain my confidence.
“Investing in your skin is a way to look after yourself and your self-esteem.”
The treatment has also attracted attention from several Hollywood celebrities, including Tom Cruise.
In addition to skin care treatments, Ju is also known to have undergone multiple plastic surgeries, including rhinoplasty, liposuction and breast augmentation.
