Skincare appears to have been developed by the ancient Egyptians over 6,000 years ago.

THE ANCIENT EGYPTIANS HAD A WELL-DOCUMENTED BEAUTY RULE. Natural ingredients, i.e. cosmetics, were first used as protection against the elements such as the sun and insects. Makeup was also used for honor gods and goddesses.

Some of these natural makeup ingredients are Khol, which is used as an eyeliner; eye shadow made from malachite powder and oil; and blush and lipstick made from finely ground red ocher.

In skin care, the ancient Egyptians used castor, sesame and moringa oils to combat wrinkles and preserve youth. They also made a soap paste with clay and olive oil to cleanse their skin. And Egyptian women incorporated honey and milk masks beauty regimens to keep their skin hydrated and they took milk baths and used Dead Sea salts to exfoliate, rejuvenate and heal their skin. Hair removal – especially with sugar – was also important to the ancient Egyptians.

Skin care was a major part of Egyptians’ daily lives, as beauty was a sign of holiness. They believed cleanliness was necessary for good health and to ward off evil. They also believed taking care of one’s body was a sign of humility.
