Beauty is something all of us desire for. No matter how much the
world brags about inner beauty, an attractive face overpowers every
skill. And probably this is the reason women work so hard for a flawless
skin and perfect hair.
Historically, women followed some strange regime to achieve
that glow on their face. Following are the names and beauty secrets that
they followed.
10. Empress Elizabeth
The beauty secret of Elizabeth was crushing strawberries and applying
them all over her face and neck. She bathed in warm olive oil. Her
dinner was extracts of chicken, beef, venison, and partridge that helped
her stay slim.
9. Cleopatra
The queen stole all hearts with her perfect beauty. She applied
crocodile dung powder under her eyes. Her lipstick was mashed beetle
guts. The queen bathed in the milk of 700 donkeys to have that
wrinkle-free skin.
8. Nefertiti
Nefertiti shaved her body regularly, even her head and used a wig.
Her kajal was a ‘kohl’ and also she used many other toxic substances to
keep up her beauty regime.
7. Queen Elizabeth I
Elizabeth’s beauty secret was a mixture of lead and vinegar. She used
to put them all over her skin and was sooner trapped by some smallpox
as a side effect.
6. Marie Antoinette
The French queen applied a mask made of powdered milk, lemon, eggs,
and cognac. she also used a weird product as her cleanser. 8 pigeons
were stewed to make this product.
5. Mary – Queen of Scots
Mary was not a natural beauty. She bathed into a bathtub full of
white wine to get that fair glowing skin. Many nations still follow this
secret.
4. Empress Zoe Porphyrogenitus
Zoe owned an entire cosmetic laboratory for herself. She managed to
look like a teenager even in her sixties. People at that time said words
were just not enough to explain her beauty.
3. Lucrezia Borgia
The queen is especially known for beautiful hair. She washed her hair
in lye and lemon juice and also avoided sunlight while she left them to
dry.
2. Helen Of Troy
She had a skin every one of us ever desires for. She used to dive
into a tub full of apple cider vinegar. Well, this is still used by many
people amongst us.
1. Simonetta Vespucci
Her beauty secrets were horrible. She left leeches oh her ears to
suck all the blood getting her a pale skin, burned all her unwanted hair
and also applied a face mask made up of breadcrumbs, eggs, and vinegar.
Not only this, but she also used human urine as a natural bleach for
her hair.
