What did women use to take care of their skin in the olden days before beauty products are made?

I dont know but Im guessing they didnt have as many skin problems as we do today...less pesticides, less toxins, more natural foods and less synthetic hormonesWhat did women use to take care of their skin in the olden days before beauty products are made?
well, first off, their skin problems didn't vary as much as ours do today. hormones weren't exactly raging back then like they are today by the time some young women are around their teenage years. thus, most women either used herbal medicines that supposedly worked. otherwise, i've heard that some girls were given a bar of soap to wash their face before their wedding day.





if only it were like that today...
well...a good scrub..natural one...and all natural products...


they could stop their hair from graying too
I don't think they really did take care of their skin... but a lot of makeup usually helped them with the look they desired. So did wigs.
I dont know but they dont have any skin problem bcz they never use cemicals or any other medication which can give bad effect and they alwasy eat helthy food, vegetables..
They used the fat from their animals after they were killed for food they would rub it on their skin
Mud lots and lots of it
Do you notice that up until sometime in the last century pale skin was considered more beautiful? Women stayed out of the sun as much as possible. They would use things like parasols to walk outside to keep them shaded from the sun. This kept them from having as many wrinkles and getting sunspots. Also freckles become darker when they've been in the sun, so freckles weren't as apparent then.





Also, I believe that they did mud treatments a lot, too.
It depends on what time period you are wondering about!





I do know that rich, southern women used put bella donna in their eyes to make their pupils dialate, because they thought it would make them more desirable to available men.
