    My grandmother told me that she used to spray her stockings with starch and put them in the freezer which helped them last longer.

    I’ve made most of these items since the eighties. It’s super satisfying. And one of the best things that were used for eye liner/ eyebrows was clove buds for a beautiful brown. I have a batch of liquid rouge in the makes right now from a recipe from the 1700’s. So pretty.

    My grandmother said that powdered brown gravy became a thing in the 1940s, women used to add the gravy powder to llotion or even Vaseline and would rub it into their legs and let it dry a bit for 'stockings' effect!!!

    Cigarette ashes and burned matches were used to darken eyebrows. Might have been good to touch up gray hairs too.

    Here's how my great grandma skincare looked:
    ●Plain yogurt as a mask once a week
    ●Olive oil+ sugar as a dace scrub
    ●Nivea cream (blue) for every part in the body!
    ●Corn starch as a dry shampoo and used as a deodorant too
    ●Vaseline or olive oil to remove eye makeup
    ●Pond's (but she didn't like the smell so she mainly used the Nivea)
    Voilà 😊😊🎉

    I’m surprised about the use of sugar in homemade beauty products. My grandparents, who lived during the war, told me that sugar was rationed at that time. Their frugality carried throughout the rest of their lives, because I would get in trouble if I accidentally spilled the sugar.

    • @suzannehall5200
      @suzannehall5200 2 місяці тому +2

      It could be that sugar was available in the US. It wasn’t in many countries including Australia. My grandmother used to make her own scrub with olive oil and cooking salt as being an island we have always had lots of sea salt. She told me that women used to set their hair with egg whites. Eggs were unavailable commercially but most people kept chickens in their backyards. She also used a face mask made from oat meal that she still used decades later.

      Flat beer as setting lotion. However beer and sugar were both rationed I believe.
