Victoria Beckham has supposedly resorted to smearing her face with bird droppings in a bid to keep up with her Hollywood pals in the beauty stakes.

Yes, as strange as it sounds, the secret behind the former acne-infested teen's blemish-free complexion is reportedly poop.

A U.K. publication reports that Posh and husband David Beckham regularly rub doo doo over their faces to combat the signs of ageing.

A pal tells Closer magazine, “When Victoria was in Japan recently she was admiring the local women’s clear skin and discovered it was down to these facials.

“She was intrigued and when she got back to the US she found that some New York beauty salons now offer the treatment.

“She tried it and loved how great her skin looked. She also uses a cream derived from nightingale poo at home.”
