Fish Eggs & Fungus

Caviar vs. Mushrooms

For thousands and thousands of years, women have searched for the "fountain of youth" - that special something that gives that supple glow. Cleopatra, the first-known model of makeup and beauty, used kohl for her eyeliner and bathed in milk and strawberries. Bizarre beauty regimens are obviously not new, but what's unique is the recent popularity of treatments that utilize animals and animal byproducts and other all-natural ingredients.

Haven't you heard about the Bird Poo facial? Created by the Geisha, it's an exfoliating treatment that involves scrubbing the face with Nightingale droppings; the natural enzymes of the droppings break down dead skin cells...Or what about bull semen being used to treat damaged hair; the protein and moisture of bull sperm is said to revitalize and repair all types of hair.

Ok so snake massages and leech detoxification is not your cup of tea - mine either. But I have found that there are some other outlandish treatments/products that don't make my "skin crawl". The use of caviar and mushrooms has become all the rage in skin/hair care development because of the amazing results it produces.

What is Caviar? Caviar is an expensive delicacy consisting of the unfertilized eggs (roe) of sturgeon brined with a salt solution. Classic caviar comes primarily from Iran or Russia, harvested by commercial fishermen working in the Caspian Sea. A specific species of sturgeon called beluga provide what many consider to be the best caviar in the world.
