The above famous Egyptian queen..Cleopatra
was famous for her beauty...not only was she beautiful but famously famous!! She and her team of maids took great care of their faces...
skin...body...etc. The queen used to bathe in huge tubs of milk, honey and rose petals..
Honey, in ancient times was used as the most potent beauty aid!!

8) Kaajal or eye liner...granny used to make by burning a piece of coal over a pure ghee flame
The result product was saved in a pure silver tiny box (silver was considered cooling) this kaajal was awesome!!! Very pure and jet black.
Once used in the eyes it lasted for days.!!
9) Natural hair wash: Granny never had the shampoos ...she made a hair wash by boiling "Ritha and Amla" overnite for using it the next day..the jet black liquid appeared mucky...but her hair always shone and remained black and soft..
We believe in the modern shampoo bottles...
The hoards of branded cosmetics...all markets
are floored with beauty gimmicks...fairness creams etc...but little do we understand the
