We understand that travelling can take its toll on your skin and we all need to resort to some beauty regimes, to prevent any spots from popping up.

But One Direction’s, Harry Styles new beauty secret might be a little extreme and definitely not pretty.

Apparently, Harry has been trying the Japanese cleansing technique of having “bird poo” facials. Yes, you read that right.

The 20-year-old wants to be prepared for what the hot stage lights might do to his skin during his South American tour.

The skin treatment apparently involves rubbing powdered nightingale excrement into the skin, along with rice bran and water.

Harry isn’t the first star to try out this treatment as the likes of Angelina Jolie and Tom Cruise are fans of the bird poo sessions too.

The source who revealed Harry’s unusual beauty regime says he’s been going to bird poo facial sessions to make sure that none of his acne returns.

“Harry’s really struggled with his skin over the years. So far he’s happy with the results, it’s given him a really glowing look.”
