Hollywood celebrities spend a lot of money on expensive skincare or surgeries to look young, but Tom Cruise has a simple but super weird way of maintaining his youthful glow. While many stars go for botox or laser treatments, the Mission Impossible actor prefers a modest facial mask made of all-natural ingredients.
If Cindy Crawford prefers to lather herself on milk, Teri Hatcher swears by luxurious wine bath, and Sandra Bullock likes her “penis facial,” Tom Cruise loves to rub bird droppings on his face. Yes, you read it right – a nightingale poo mixed with rice bran and water!
Tom Cruise Maintains Youthful Look By Using Bird Poo As Facial Mask
Speaking with Now Magazine, an insider revealed Tom Cruise’s secret trick to fight aging. The treatment was popularized by Victoria Beckham, a close friend of the actor. He spends about $180 a pop on this beauty regimen (via Daily Mail):
“Tom doesn’t go in for Botox or surgery, but he does pay close attention to all the new natural treatments. He recently started experimenting with the nightingale poo facial after it was recommended by a Hollywood pal, and the results have been fantastic.”
Shizuka Bernstein, a master esthetician, says that the Geisha Facial treatment is a technique borrowed from the geishas of Japan, who used nightingale poos as a natural exfoliant. She applies the mixture and uses ultraviolet light to sanitize the skin. The process takes about an hour to finish. Bernstein shared:
“The nightingale poo acts as an exfoliant that brings out the dirt and adds shine.”
The 60-year-old actor does not believe in plastic surgery and prefers a natural alternative. The insider also added:
“Tom doesn’t see splashing out on the facials as him being vain or weird. In fact, he points out there are much wackier fads out there.”
Amid his busy schedule and training for dangerous stunts, the Oblivion actor finds time to unwind, relax, and take care of his skin using an exotic but environmental-friendly treatment. So, that’s how Tom Cruise remains young-looking despite his age!

On the other hand, Sandra Bullock stirred fans’ curiosity when she revealed her passion for penis facials. Appearing on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the Ocean’s 8 star explained the real deal behind her favorite skin treatment:
“It is an extraction from a, um, a piece of skin that came from a young person, far, far away, and they somehow figured out how to extract. Well, it’s this way in which one forces, through micro-needling, it’s like a little roller with these… It pushes through the skin and ruptures the collagen and then boosts it. You look like a burn victim for a day, but then it pushes the serum in.”
Bullock clarified that the treatment uses cells from the foreskin of Korean babies which have been cloned in a laboratory, and not as if she is “lying there with little pieces all over my face”. She also added:
“I call it the penis facial, and when you see how good it is to your face, you too will run to your local facialist and say, ‘Give me the penis.’”
Tom Cruise and Sandra Bullock have bizarre ways of taking care of their skin, but as long as it works, then it’s worth all the trouble.
