Cleopatra was renowned for her captivating allure and radiant complexion. She indulged herself in luxurious baths of goats milk, pearl powder, and honey to maintain her beautiful, soft, supple skin and it's radiant glow.
This blog delves into Cleopatra’s beauty routines and practices, unraveling the secrets that procured her timeless attraction.
Cleoptra Queen Of Egypt
Cleopatra used readily available natural products and concreted her place in history as the queen of beauty. The Egyptian Queen is known as the most beautiful woman in human history, and for centuries people have been admiring her beauty. She owed her impeccable skin to Pearl Powder.
One of Cleopatra's beauty secrets was adding pearl powder to her evening drink. She also bathed in pearl powder, goat milk and honey regularly, and applied it topically to her skin to keep her skin looking ravishing and radiant. These baths became popular with Roman women in her era.
She used milk, honey, goats milk, olive oil and sesame oil to keep her wrinkles at bay. Castor oil was another weapon in Cleopatra's beauty arsenal along with Henna.
Cleopatra used goats milk, honey and pearl powder facial masks for their moisturizing qualities. She rubbed aloe vera gel on her skin every day to keep it soft and smooth. She kept pure shea butter on her at all time, that was her skin conditioner. She would apply it everyday to her skin to keep it glowing and smooth.
Cleopatra used various pigments and dyes to enhance her features. She used a red pigment called ochre or cinnabar on her lips and cheeks to create a vibrant and alluring look.
Skin Benefits Of Goat Milk
Goats milk has been used for skincare since ancient time. It can be traced back to ancient Egypt, when Cleopatra desired to maintain her outstanding radiant beauty.
Goat milk is full of vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, lactic acid, AHAs, and triglycerides that nourish, moisturize, and gently exfoliate the skin. Goat milk contains vitamins A, B1, B6, B12, C, D, and E, as well as minerals like selenium, zinc, and copper.
These nutrients help nourish your skin leaving it soft, smooth, hydrated, refreshed, and rejuvenated.
Goat milk has the same pH as human skin, and help support your skin's microbiome. That's why goat milk has been used for thousands of years to hydrate and nourish dry or sensitive skin.
Goats milk is the reason European milkmaids of yore gained a reputation for a perfect complexion.
Skin Benefits Of Pearl Powder
Pearl Powder has a plethora of skin benefits, from anti aging, to skin brightening, to combating acne, and boosting collagen production. Royal inhabitants of the Chinese Imperial Palace swore by the miraculous skin regenerating effects of pearl powder, which they used for healing, wrinkles, and skin brightening.
Pearl powder can also shrink pores, decrease redness, improve skin texture, even out skin tone, and make your skin plump, supple, and luminous. It has become the #1 skin care and cosmetic ingredient of all time.
Skin Benefits Of Honey
Honey has many skin benefits which include hydration, helps prevent and treats acne, infections and other skin conditions, and promotes skin cell regeneration. It is an anti-inflammatory that helps reduce swelling, redness and irritated skin.
Honey promotes healing of damaged tissues, fades scars and hyper-pigmentation, helps boost radiance, and decreases signs of aging.
