Baller Beauty: Chemical Peels and Bird Poo
Sad proof has been circulating of late that the footie players we know and lust for don’t come naturally buffed, puffed and polished. They have to work for it, dear readers.
Chelsea’s Joe Cole was spotted coming out of a spa on the Kings Road in London after having the super luxe Ole Henriksen Purifying Facial.
It costs about £85 and includes a glycolic acid peel to help with exfoliation and to make skin glow. Come to think of it, Joey has been looking rather radiant of late, no?
Also, David and Victoria Beckham are apparently hooked on a “bird poo” facial that Victoria cottoned on to whilst in Japan.
We happen to know of a salon in London (Hari’s, in Brompton Cross), that does this er, creative, treatment and we can tell you that the bird in question is a nightingale. That’s all we’ll say on the matter.

Hey im all for whatever makes you feel good but as usual the Beckhams have crossed that line into insanity!!!
Oh my, need to get myself a bird, a big one that makes more poo. Who knew? lol

Is it weird that I find David Beckham in eyeliner is much hotter than regular David? But with the bird droppings, I've heard of it and one of my friends had it done. It works, but they said as long as you don't think about it, it isn't that gross.
Well, that is almost the most disgusting thing I’ve ever heard, a bird poo facial? Gross!
I love that this story + pic makes it look like Joey is being interviewed about his facial. *strokes face*, 'Yeah you wouldnt believe how soft it makes the skin…'
Thanks Suzy! I'm happy we don't all have to go out and get a bird for our bedroom assessories.:D
I'm sorry bt I'm lost here. Are those two real and if so why are they in bed with a hopefully fake bird? Does anyone know the story behind this pic? I apologise in advance for this probably very stupid question.
I am so bored with the Beckhams. Nothing they could do would surprise me now. Can you imagine sitting getting your pedi/mani done and a footballer comes in for his treatment – love it Joe.
This picture ist creepy. Make it go away, PLEASE!
Nothing suprises from those two anymore, I wouldn't be surprised if they pooed on each other to look pretty! Oh, that's right, mr. and mrs. perfect don't poo!
I Love Joe Cole, Nuff Said.
David could be a member of Duran Duran with that eye liner. Beckhams and poo…in the same sentence. Okay, I think it's just best if I leave that one alone! *cough*Joe Cole…always lovely to look at, love Joe Joe! Perhaps he should drag Carly with him the next time. I think she needs the help more than he does.lose that girl blog
I just heard about the nightingale poo thing while watching the pre-red carpet show for the Emmy’s (yes, I’m lame). I guess it’s really good for you. I wonder how this was even deduced in the first place…
I’d love to be at the spa in the next chair to Joe, getting pedi’s and mani’s, and discussing midfield tactics.
