The ancients had some weird concepts of beauty rituals (leeches and crocodile dung weren’t out of place), but they had a lot of great ideas as well.
In fact, some of the ideas can still be used today. After talking with a few beauty industry professionals, we learned some ancient beauty secrets that we should be putting to good use today.
Read on to better your beauty routine with ancient secrets!
#1 Olive Oil
Ancients called this product “golden,” and with good reason: olive oil is now a base for numerous skin and hair care creams, shampoos, and balms.
#2 Baths
Ancient Roman women spent many hours in their baths, enjoying small talk and changing hot and cool water.
#3 Aromatherapy massage
Massage has always been a favorite of many beautiful ladies, and when aroma balms and oils are added, the session is a dream come true.
