Greece
People often compare women with beauty to “Greek goddesses”. Aphrodite is the Greek goddess and the symbol of beauty of this country. Women since ancient Greece have paid great attention to beauty care. Honey and olive oil were two favorite ingredients in all kinds of cosmetics at that time.
Ancient Greek goddesses always tried to have white skin so they often used olive oil, honey and white lead mixed together to create a skin whitening mixture. But there were many women who died due to lead poisoning absorbed into the skin. To have blonde hair, ancient Greek women poured vinegar on it to bleach it but the result was hair loss and at that time wearing wigs was quite popular.
Egypt
Egyptian Queen Cleopatra is known as a famous beautiful woman in human history. Cleopatra had some interesting beauty methods written in a highly appreciated beauty secret book. Among them is famous for bathing in donkey milk, she believed that this was a way to prevent aging and smooth the skin thanks to the alpha hydroxy acids in it.
And she needed to use the milk of 700 donkeys to bathe every day. In addition, Queen Cleopatra also regularly mixed donkey milk with crocodile dung to create a unique skin care mask.
She also bathed in tubs filled with roses to keep her skin sweetly scented. For her blush she used a mixture of clay and crushed beetles. She also used kohl eyeliner.
Japan
Japanese women have long been famous for their Geishas with beautiful, white, shiny, smooth skin. But to have that ghostly beauty with red lips, Geishas had to use rice flour to whiten their skin and clean their faces with nightingale droppings.
Geisha also plucked their eyebrows with tweezers and painted on false eyebrows. Heian period geisha also blackened their teeth using a mixture of iron solder oxidized in an acidic solution. Japanese women's beauty was often judged on the basis of the length of their hair, with the ideal length being below their waist.
Elizabethan period
Queen Elizabeth was the epitome of beauty and style for women in the Elizabethan era. Women of the era went to great lengths to achieve her pale complexion. A high forehead was considered a sign of nobility and women plucked their hairlines to achieve this standard.
Raw egg whites were applied directly to the face to give it a smooth, porcelain-white complexion. To achieve the pale complexion, many women used arsenic, despite knowing it could kill them. Some women even had leeches suck their blood to achieve a naturally pale complexion.
The most shocking beauty treatment involves the use of slimy tapeworms and women are willing to swallow the tapeworms so that they digest their food and make them slim.
Ancient India
The beauty of ancient Indian girls is characterized by their prominent skin and eyes. Ancient Indians had beauty methods such as using cow dung and cow urine - which have anti-infective properties - to lose weight, treat acne, and heal cracked heels.
Additionally, Mughal women also chewed betel as an essential part of their beauty routine to impart a red tint to their lips.
