Skin treatments? No way that’s a joke!

Ladies (and gents) let's be real - we all know we DO NOT take care of our skin (or at least not like we should), and with so many remedies out there it can be a train wreck just to know the how-to and the which-to. Believe it or not, but back in the day women and men went to extreme lengths to always get that perfect look, like whitening your teeth with urine and freezing freckles off with Carbon dioxide. ( Really?) Look, our skin goes through vigorous damage daily as is, we don’t have to make it go through THAT much. (Same with our mental health) Luckily there’s people like us who care and will lead you into the right direction. No Urine Face mask required.

Ancient Remedies : Seriously?

 

It was discovered that in Ancient Rome, urine was the post popular ingredient among Romans and quite often used as Facial Masks and to whiten those pearly teeth. (Clean feeling no matter what ;))

Urine Beauty

The 1941 Glamour Bonnet was used primarily by Victorian and Edwardian women who considered beautiful skin to be pale and unblemished, with a big emphasis on soft and supple.  Naturally, the only LOGICAL way to achieve this improved complexion is by reducing the air pressure around your face.(air head any one?)

The Glamor Bonnet

Our all time favorite was the Freezing freckles remedy. Freckles were not very popular in the 30’s, so women would “freeze off” natures half tan with carbon dioxide.  During the process patients were forced to breathe through a tube, cover their eyes with airtight plugs, and have their nostrils filled in for protection. (Must have been Halloween inspired.)
