I've heard that Victoria used bird droppings for beauty, but I didn't expect that our great Qing country also had this trend N years ago. The cosmetics "Yu Rong San" used by Empress Dowager Cixi all her life contains sparrow dung and the feces of male eagles and pigeons, which are respectively called white clove, white eagle strip and white pigeon strip. It is claimed that these animal feces have the magical effects of化解accumulation and fading dark spots, as well as preventing wrinkles and eliminating marks.
