History Of Aesthetics - Make Now And Then

With the introduction of so many amazing new products in the cosmetic world, do you think these beauty products make-up and others found at this time. But then, the history of cosmetics can be traced back to ancient times, since ancient Egypt, to be exact.

That said, we can say that this story is rich in cosmetic products. For starters, the makeup had been used by men and women thousands of years before, and this can be demonstrated by the discovery by archaeologists of many pots of makeup in Egyptian tombs dating from around 3000 BC.

We all know that in the past, the Egyptians worked hard and were exposed to the sun's heat in the desert for long periods of time. So, to combat the scorching heat, they design a product that is very similar to lotions that we today, in particular skin creams to soothe dry skin and help prevent wrinkles at the same time.

Egyptian women also started to use kohl eyeliner. Kohl is a chemical containing antimony or lead sulfide. This liner is generally used by men and women as an eye shadow. The color used for this was green.

Although we are aware that lead has toxic properties, unfortunately, people in the early days have no idea that their makeup or cosmetics was slowly poisoning them. Furthermore, in the remains of Babylon, experts had discovered lead white, which was probably used as a basis to make the face look lighter or white. The Greeks were also found to have been using white lead for the sole purpose of increasing their skin color.

This craze seems to take a lighter has been increased until the mid-19 th century. During this period, most women and some men wanted to get pale-looking face. They thought that this was a sign of aristocracy seems, especially to people who did not have to bake in the sun, when you change fields, and eventually get a darker skin in the process.

And as proof that the people went completely gaga over this lighter skin tone, women have gone to such extremes to bleed just to their faces pale. But of course, used to use a white powder and the paint was still there to go to the practice of bloodletting.

On the eve of 1600, a stylish look not only consist of pale skin, because there was already added the red lips, pink cheeks and bright eyes. Blush or makeup, either red or brown shades were usually put the cheeks and lips as well. However, to get big eyes, women are once again with a different toxic element, which was arsenic. They also discovered their eye for certain citrus juices such as lemon and orange. In exaggerated cases, women also used hallucinogen that has become a deadly nightshade deadly nightshade plant. This is usually dropped in the eyes of students to obtain a more dreamlike, gentle eyes.

Finally, after thousands of years, people have become wiser and more concerned about the things they put on their bodies, and this is how they managed to find they actually poisoned by degrees, and that guilty is toxic ingredients in makeup or cosmetics. As a result of this century, medical experts have finally begun to try to regulate the ingredients in cosmetic products, so users will be safe and avoid getting toxic lead, mercury, aluminum, coal, etc. , to run inside their bodies with the skin or mouth as the input. But in the American cosmetics industry continues to fight the regulation of ingredients used to manufacture personal care products.

Overall, this is not the end of the history of cosmetics, it is certain that there are more new products coming and we all know that something is happening, the 21 century. Contact wrinkle fillers, aesthetic non-surgical interventions, and new faces as stimulators, such as Botox. All these cosmetics to adorn the person, followers are taking on huge, but still full of poisons.

With this we can say that all products coming in the future, everyone will seek to make us look as if 15 years have been deducted from our time of origin, but at what cost! Interesting, yes, no?
