Oh my gosh THANK YOU. My skin and hair have been having a rougher time than the rest of me with the horrid humid heat wave my hometown seems trapped in at the moment, so this was a perfectly timed upload from where I'm sitting. Somehow, I'd always thought of sheet masks as a very modern thing - fascinating to see how wrong I was there!
I always thought so too! I think the term "sheet mask" is fairly modern (most of these masks were called just call "a skin treatment" or other generic phrase), but the practice seems to go back quite a ways :)
Hi Kate, I love your videos! I especially love your knitwear video you put up a while ago. Being a knitter, I got super excited seeing what you've made! Have you made anymore knits lately? Every upload from you is a joy to my daily life
Thanks :) I have a few knits in progress.🧶 I'm currently working on a super soft 1915 loungewear jacket and a 1934 hat which is a mix of crochet and knitting (I'm not very proficient in crochet but I'm trying to improve!).
Yay, more quick historical beauty recipes!! I love these. ☺️ And I have to ask: from which film did you get that rainy-weather video clip around 0:50? Too funny! -Christie
@@TheLongHairedFlapper Thanks! Good point about Buster Keaton--I just saw him as a guest character in an episode of the 1950s Donna Reed TV show, and although he played a very kindly character at Christmastime, he never once smiled that I can recall! Edit: I later learned he was famous for that deadpan face, because he discovered as a child performer that he got more laughs from the audience that way than if he laughed. Interesting.
I need to try that first onesie cold weather returns. Wind, cold wind, is terrible on my face. I have rosacea, and that is a major trigger for my skin, but I know my face likes rose water, so worth a try!
Gum acacia is used in food but I've never seen it in a regular grocery store (although some specialty shops may carry it). I buy mine from Mountain Rose Herbs, but other online shops carry it too including Amazon. It's used as a binder for art as well, but buy food-grade for beauty recipes as sometimes the art-grade stuff has additives you wouldn't want to use on your skin!
I use frequently use cooking rose water as beauty rose water (but not the other way round because some beauty brands use additives that may not be edible). Rose water in general is made by distilling rose petals in water. I've tried both beauty grade and cooking grade in skin care recipes and haven't found any perceivable difference between 100% pure rose waters.
To avoid the inconvenience of having to try to keep a rosewater-soaked cloth mask on your face, you can simply saturate a cotton cosmetic pad with rosewater and wipe your face with it; it's wonderfully refreshing on a hot day! My other favorite way of using rose water is as a hair rinse of equal parts plain water and rosewater. After you take a shower and wash your hair, pour the diluted rosewater over your hair and make sure it gets on all of your hair; it removes any remaining traces of shampoo that might be on your hair and scalp (and irritate them) and it moisturizes your hair and detangles it. I find that I don't have to use conditioner on my hair if I use rosewater on it, but my hair is thin and fine, so your milage may vary, as they say. Leave it to dry on your hair and your hair will smell like roses!
You can omit the sugar in the setting lotion if you wish. It does help with holding the curl, but just the gum acacia and rose water alone would work relatively well.
I love your videos they are cute and wonderfully delicate. You look like a titanic woman Sorry where are you from? Greetings from Siena, Tuscany, Italy
I adore your videos and especially the ones with your co-star! 😍🤩

I love this! So many things I've been wanting to make! 😍🥰
I would like to see you answer the door in that mask! ;0) I could see Buster's face now.
Me: comes for the inspiration
Also me: ooooohhhhhhh! Kitty!
*forgets main goal*
you can also buy face mask blanks
a few summery recipes, maybe lemon slices?
Please, no lemon! 🍋 It's much too acidic for your face.
Cucumber is better and aloe vera

I have mixed lavender and rose absolut which results in a scent much like honey.
Thank you soooo much♥️
Love your videos 😍💕 truly beautiful. I started making my own perfume and body mist for my family and they love it 💖 thank you so much 💖
I'n looking forward to your cake mascara video! I've tried and you can't find a good one online.
It should be out sometime in early July :)
Yay, more quick historical beauty recipes!! I love these. ☺️
And I have to ask: from which film did you get that rainy-weather video clip around 0:50? Too funny!

It's from Fatty Arbuckle's "Good Night Nurse" (1918) (which is one of the few films with a smiling Buster Keaton!).

I wonder if it'll be ok to add some colour to the eyebrow gel (some mica or loose eyeshadow). All the recipes sound great.
I don't see why not. I think adding some pigment would be a great addition!
I need to try that first onesie cold weather returns. Wind, cold wind, is terrible on my face. I have rosacea, and that is a major trigger for my skin, but I know my face likes rose water, so worth a try!
Hope it helps! Oats are supposed to be great for soothing irritated skin, although obviously everyone's skin is different.
Naturally Solved does a rosacea cream that's reasonably priced, if it doesn't quite get it. On amazon. Very popular.
Where do you get things like gum acacia? Can you get them at the supermarket?

@@TheLongHairedFlapper Thank you!
I'm reeeeeeally late haha but could you tell me what percentage alcohol you used?
As in the proof? I usually use the perfumers alcohol from Voyageur Soap and Candle Co (not sure what the proof is off-hand).
@@TheLongHairedFlapper Thanks!❤
This is probably a stupid question, but is cooking rose water the same as beauty rose water?
I use frequently use cooking rose water as beauty rose water (but not the other way round because some beauty brands use additives that may not be edible). Rose water in general is made by distilling rose petals in water. I've tried both beauty grade and cooking grade in skin care recipes and haven't found any perceivable difference between 100% pure rose waters.
@@TheLongHairedFlapper Thank you so much for responding. I only ever buy cooking rose water so that is perfect for me! ♥️

Anything with sugar in it would make me possibly cautious about it .
