CHAPTER 8
BEAUTY AND BODY CARE
A Thing of Beauty Is a Joy Forever
BEFORE DEPARTMENT STORES built sprawling cosmetics counters and pricey spas taught us that good health begets loveliness, women and men depended on homemade treatments and common sense to enhance their natural beauty. Concoctions consisted of one part ingenuity, one part heirloom recipe, and one part accessible ingredients found in most kitchens or gardens. From skin care to tooth polish, slim waists to gorgeous hair, these antique prescriptions always resurface—because they work! In this chapter, you’ll see how our great-grandparents’ wisdom influenced many of today’s most technologically advanced personal care therapies.
