How To Take Care Of Your Skin Luxuriously

Although the technology we have today did not exist in ancient times, skin care has been around for thousands of years, beginning with many royalties from different parts of the world. Chinese empresses and concubines were known to have dedicated generous amounts of time and effort to concoct facial remedies that resulted in their porcelain-like skin. In ancient Japan, Geisha, being performers, had to keeptheir skin smooth and flawless. They came up with many effective skincare using natural ingredients. Egyptians also experimented with beauty enhancement such as dramatic eye makeup kohl — a paste of soot, animal fat and lead. Today, some natural skincare ingredients from ancient times are now used in the most expensive and luxurious treatments.

GOLD

Egyptians believed that gold contained healing powers that could cure physical, mental and spiritual aliments. Cleopatra, the last pharaoh of Ancient Egypt, was renowned throughout history for her beauty and flawless skin. It was believed that she wore pure gold on her skin for a radiant complexion. Many luxury spas today use 24-carat gold leaf treatments to hydrate and rejuvenate the skin.
