Cosmetics and cosmetics are far from being the most recent invention. For centuries, men and women have been looking for ways to use cosmetics to enhance their appearance. The ancient Egyptians were innovative thinkers who made enormous contributions to the human relief that is still in use today, such as door locks and written language. But we can also thank them for the other thing that many of us use every day - makeup.
We now know that some of the techniques they use are highly invasive, such as applying a deadly mixture of lead carbonate and water to their faces. However, they did create the technology we can learn and use today. Here are some of them.
Beeswax - Ancient Egyptians realized that beeswax has moisturizing properties and often uses it to protect the skin from the heat of the Egyptian sun. You can purchase a ready-made moisturizer containing beeswax, or you can mix it with other ingredients such as olive oil.
Protein Facial Care - Ancient Egyptian women use egg white facial care to care for their skin. To make your own, just add an egg white with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, then apply for 10-15 minutes, then rinse off with warm water.
Perfume - The sesame oil containing frankincense and myrhh is very popular in ancient Egypt. DKNY Delicious Night is an example of a modern fragrance that contains these ingredients.
Cole - Sketch your eyes with a thick line of eyeliners to recreate the look of beautiful ancient Egyptian women such as Cleopatra. For a real look, team with color eyeshadows.
Milk and Honey - The Queen of Egypt, Cleopatra, is based on milk to maintain beautiful skin. To try this out yourself, mix fresh milk, honey and almond oil into the bath water.
Sea Salt Scrub - For true ancient Egyptian style bathtubs, use sea salt as a body scrub to remove keratin after bathing.
Rosewater - Ancient Egyptians use natural ingredients to make a wide range of cosmetics and beauty products. One such product is rose water, which is used to nourish the skin. From facial toners to bath oils, you can buy many rose water beauty products. Or, if you like creativity, you can boil the rose petals in the spring water [make sure they are free of chemicals] and make your own rose water.
Apple Cider Vinegar - This is an exciting facial cleanser. To try it yourself, add a 3:1 ratio of apple cider vinegar to warm water.
This is just some magical natural beauty techniques pioneered by the ancient Egyptians. The trend of cosmetics from natural ingredients is far from the recent phenomenon. The ancient Egyptians far exceeded their time.
