I’m looking for a non-fiction book that dives into ancient and historical women’s beauty practices, specifically skincare and haircare, but I’m unsure if one exists.
For example, Cleopatra’s milk baths, the ancient use of honey, salt, and certain oils, how women gained and maintained long hair, etc. I’m also interested in fertility practices amongst other rituals.
I know women in each culture and different time periods had different practices, and I’d like to learn about them (especially royal women).
Ps. I’m sure I could do research on this subject, but I’d rather have a book (if one exists). Fingers crossed. Thanks in advance!
