Russian Empress Catherine II tried to keep youth in the most miraculous ways. Firstly, she took a bath every day with the addition of a balm specially designed for her: a mixture of thick almond milk was added to four pounded egg yolks, poured with water, in which rose petals were soaked for a long time, and to this - a glass of vodka.

Cleopatra herself invented the facial emulsion. She mixed honey and aloe powder with silver water. She did not live her hands in baths of milk, she washed her hair and at the same time nourished her with shampoo from three yolks of freshly laid chicken eggs. After that, Cleopatra rinsed them with a decoction of burdock roots, hop cones and nettles. After taking the famous milk bath, the queen used a body scrub: 300 grams of sea salt was mixed with half a cup of cream and rubbed into her skin for ten minutes, and then washed off with warm water.

Queen Isabella of Spain distinguished by beautiful hair, excellent skin, sparkle in the eyes and long-playing youth. Isabella supported all these natural data by natural means: she made unpretentious masks for herself from field herbs - chamomile, plantain, rosemary and yarrow - and rose and lily flowers, which were infused with alcohol. Even at a very respectable age, the queen had a blooming appearance.

Beauty Scheherazade- the image is rather collective, but in addition to 1001 fairy tales, many beauty recipes are attributed to her. The queen dyed her hair with a mixture of henna and basma, and then rinsed it with fruit juice. I whitened my teeth with very thick natural yogurt. Before bathing, she rubbed the skin with honey, to which ground nuts and vegetable oil were added. And unwanted hairs were removed with a ball of sugar syrup, boiled to a golden color and mixed with lemon juice.

Marilyn Monroe sometimes washed her face fifteen times a day. As a moisturizer, she used regular Vaseline, sometimes replacing it with olive oil. Marilyn never tanned, said that the sun ages faster than time. The morning began with a mug of hot milk with a couple of raw eggs. But the most important conclusion about the beauty of the great Monroe was this: the female body needs free access to air, otherwise the skin will sag and become wrinkled. Therefore, she did not recognize underwear and tights. At the same time, it liberated everyone's sensuality and freedom of movement.

Beauties of Ancient Russia distinguished by delicate skin of the face and excellent natural blush. What was their cunning secret? There is a little trick here. Our great-great-grandmothers washed themselves with ice-cold water from a silver jug.

The ability of silver to kill bacteria is 1750 times stronger than carbolic acid and 3.5 times stronger than chlorine, furacillin, potassium permanganate.

Napoleon's wife Josephine was a simple woman. Even as a provincial Creole, she knew that anti-aging masks are best made from ordinary boiled potatoes. She cleaned the clogged pores of her face with hot camphor compresses. I drank a glass of lemonade every morning on an empty stomach. At that time it was simple lemon juice, diluted with simple mineral water, it helped to properly cleanse the intestines from toxins and other evil spirits and, as a result, preserve virgin beauty.

Diane de Poitiers (mistress of Henry II) believed that it was impossible to look young by making a mask a couple of times and wiping with lotion. At 6 in the morning Diana took a cold bath, until 8 she had a horseback ride. Then she lay down to rest. Until noon basked in bed, ate a light breakfast. She preferred to deal with matters of national importance in the afternoon. Diana denied herself such joy as alcohol, even in minimal quantities: she believed, not without reason, that her face swelled from wine. But the main secret of her beauty, according to her, was that she never thought about old age.

Japanese women are famous for their flawless skin, oriental beauties for their luxurious hair.

Japan

Purpose: Porcelain leather.
Secret Ingredients: Rice and seaweed.

Rice scrub. In ancient times, rice bran replaced soap for the Japanese. Until now, many Japanese women use them as a scrub, which perfectly refreshes and rejuvenates the skin. Rice bran is ground in a coffee grinder and then applied after a bath or shower to a damp body, including the face and neck. In addition to the fact that rice bran exfoliates dead cells well, they are also rich in beauty vitamin E and other antioxidants that improve skin condition. You can use them in another way: when you are going to take a bath, wrap half a glass of crushed rice bran in gauze and put the bag in water - after the bath your skin will become just silk.
Algae mask. The healing properties of seaweed have been known in Japan for a long time. The mask will require approximately 200 g of fresh algae, but you can also use dried ones. Fresh seaweed is soaked in water for a few minutes to wash out the salt. Dry - soak for an hour in cold water. Then the algae are boiled in a glass of water over low heat for 10 minutes. Grind in a mixer, cool and add a teaspoon of lemon juice. The resulting mask is applied to a cleansed face for 15-20 minutes, then washed off with cold water. The mixture can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

beware of the sun. Everyone knows the traditional images of Japanese women with a sun umbrella in their hands. But not only famous geishas, ​​but also ordinary Japanese women still go this way. After all, the sun is the worst enemy of beauty. But Japanese women do not stop there - they put on opera gloves (those that are up to elbows) when driving a car so that the sun penetrating through open windows does not spoil the porcelain skin of their hands. There is something to take an example!

Pakistan

Goal: Silky skin and luxurious hair.
Secret Ingredients: Almonds, orange peel, melon, olive oil.

Almond scrub. My Pakistani friend told me that her mother, who, by the way, was known as the first beauty in their town, used almond flour to cleanse her face. Probably not in vain: after all, modern cosmetologists consider almonds to be an excellent cleansing and rejuvenating agent. To make an almond scrub, almonds are ground into a fine powder and mixed with coconut milk (for oily skin) or olive oil (for dry skin). However, if there is no coconut, then it is quite possible to get by with ordinary milk. But coconut is still better - it has strong anti-inflammatory and anti-fungal properties, and also restores keratin, which makes up our skin, hair and nails.

Balm for the scalp. Patients with dry, itchy scalp often mistake the flaking skin for dandruff and complain that they can't get rid of it for years. Meanwhile, there is an excellent tool that allows you to quickly and effectively solve this problem. It is necessary to rub a little heated oil into the hair roots and scalp - olive, burdock, castor, even sunflower for lack of others. You can add 2-3 drops of natural aromatic oil to it. Then wrap your hair with a warm towel and leave for an hour or two. Then wash your hair with a mild shampoo. This mask improves the condition of not only the scalp, but also the hair.

Orange-melon mask. Here's another Pakistani-favorite recipe for beautiful skin: Dry orange peels (finally a use for them!), then grind them in a coffee grinder. Add some melon pulp to them, or, for lack of it, a little water with lemon juice. Apply the mixture on a cleansed face for 15-20 minutes, then rinse with cold water. It is better to do the mask in the afternoon or in the evening, just before going out. The mask has excellent antioxidant properties, makes the skin fragrant, pleasant to the touch and literally glowing from the inside.

Masks of aristocrats

Red caviar mask.
1. Nutritious. Mash a teaspoon of red caviar and mix with a nourishing cream for the corresponding skin type. Nourishes, moisturizes. Keep on face for 15 minutes, rinse with warm water.
2. Moisturizing for delicate skin: 1 teaspoon of caviar and a few drops of olive oil. Stir to crush the shell of the eggs and leave it on your face for 20 minutes.
For oily skin, it is best to mix a spoonful of caviar with yogurt or kefir. The result is hydrated, soft skin. It is undesirable to apply caviar in its pure form to the skin, only with an emulsion. Wash off with warm water.

Cocoa mask.
I really like the cocoa mask. The main active element of chocolate masks are cocoa beans - the richest sources of biologically active substances. Take ordinary cocoa, dilute with milk to a paste-like state, so that it is convenient to apply. Add a little vegetable oil, any, rest for 15-20 minutes. Remove the mask with a cotton pad, wash with warm water.
Result: The skin becomes very soft, helps with tightness and flaking.

Champagne mask.
For oily skin, rejuvenating: mix cosmetic clay with champagne until sour cream thickens.
Result: The face is surprisingly soft, the pores are closed.

Wine mask.
Refreshing the skin: wipe the face with wine every morning.
Result: Ideal for oily skin, but I think it will work for all skin types. It is especially effective to apply in 10 minutes. several layers before washing. I want to note that if you add wine, especially white, to masks, for example, from clay, there will also be a very good effect.
For dry skin: it is recommended to mix wine with honey and apply on the face for 10 minutes.

Cream mask.
1.5 teaspoons of lemon juice and cream + 5 drops of 5% hydrogen peroxide. Mix and apply on face with a cotton swab. After 30-40 min. wash off with warm water.
Result: This is a whitening mask, very suitable for oily, normal skin.

For a good appearance, it is not necessary to regularly go to the salon or visit a plastic surgeon. It is enough to regularly monitor yourself, and use folk methods, or grandmother'sbeauty recipes, which will certainly give a good result after some time.

Coffee and coffee drinks spoil the complexion, make nails and hair very brittle. Try replacing coffee with green tea (or another herbal tea), which has more powerful antioxidants that will not only restore a healthy glow, but also prevent wrinkles and premature aging. You can also wipe your face with frozen green tea cubes, then the skin will be fresher and brighter, and more elastic.

Before going to bed, my grandmother advised me to make a face mask from eggs, you can use both protein and yolk - separately, protein and yolk masks have a different effect:

• The yolk mask is also prepared with honey, washed off after 15 minutes with warm water. This mask softens and nourishes the skin well.

After masks, you need to lubricate the skin with a moisturizer.

The steam bath for the face perfectly cleanses the skin of toxins and toxins: a mixture of medicinal herbs is added to boiling water in a saucepan, after 2 minutes it is removed from the fire, it cools a little.
