Women have been beautifying themselves forever. Of course, there were no cosmetic products before, but people realized the effectiveness of nature very early on.

These are treatments that are great for a better look, and are also healthy.

Olive oil

Women used to call this oil golden, and for good reason. It is excellent for skin and hair care.

Baths

Ancient Roman women spent hours and hours in their baths. They enjoyed small talk while alternating between cold and hot water which is an excellent method of tightening the skin. In addition, it also stimulates circulation.

Aromatherapy massage

It was a favorite among many ladies back in the day, and it is still a favorite today. It is excellent for beauty and relaxation. After a massage with aromatherapeutic preparations, the skin looks fantastic.

Cloth instead of scrub

Women used to not have exfoliation as we know it today, so they used a coarse cloth to remove dead skin cells. That's how they stimulated circulation.

Waxing with sugar paste

It is said to be the best method of removing body hair and has been practiced by women for thousands of years. It does not harm the skin like modern preparations, reports Nezavisne.

Egg hair mask

It is an old method of keeping hair beautiful, healthy and shiny. It is enough to beat the eggs, put them on the hair, keep it for a while, then wash it off with warm water.

Sour cream

It is possible that women accidentally discovered how soft their hands were after using cream for cooking, so they started using it as a skin cream, but also as a hair conditioner.

Lemon juice

For centuries, women have used it to bleach their hair. It is simply applied to the hair, and that's it. The result is lighter strands that often look better than those made at the hairdresser.
