While we are
definitely more concerned with our looks than the previous generation was, we
still have a long way to go before we actively try to make the most of our
looks. Look around you. Most of the women we see have their hair pinned up
away from their face, with minimal make up, and a few - or quite a few -
extra pounds packed around the waist.
However, to be fair,
we are getting more and more fitness conscious here in our country. A few years ago
there must have been a maximum of 5 gyms throughout the country! While now
there are about 50 in each city. A good sign, but we still have a long way to
go.
Ancient Egypt
No other country or
culture was so concerned with beautification as was Egypt. Cleopatra the VII
has also written a book of beauty secrets. Even today Egyptian glass perfume
vials decorate many a classic dressing table and the herb Aloe, so ingrained
in ancient Egyptian beauty treatments, is still a vital ingredient in most skin-care
creams.
Body Oil
If body oil is not a
daily part of your bathing ritual, perhaps its time you made it so. The heat,
dust and pollution of our times plays havoc with our skin. Ever wondered why
Egyptian women were renowned for their alabaster skin Records show that all
women, from the richest to the most destitute used body oil in huge
quantities. In fact, sufficient body oil for daily use was often issued as
part of wages!
Egyptian Anti-wrinkle
cream recipe
1 tsp sweet almond oil
2 drops of Frankincense essential oil or Rose Attar. Mix these ingredients together and you have an excellent anti-wrinkle cream. Cleanse your face and apply this to your face at night. Massage it in your skin gently for about 5 minutes, and wash off the next morning. Almonds 
Bitter or sweet almond
oil were the most common ingredients of Egyptian cosmetics, and are excellent
for the skin. Use pure almond oil as an under-eye cream and keep crows-feet
at bay. Almond oil is also excellent for your hair. Mix almond and coconut
oil to your hair and wash it off after an hour, for excellent results.
Body Oil
Try this: After
bathing, pour a teaspoon of almond oil into a mug of water and pour it over
your body as a final rinse.This oil will keep the skin smooth and glowing through out the day,Most of the women use almonds lotion,which has the similar effect on the skin,but using pure natural almond oil is totally different,as using this exception will last the effect than the lotion.
