__THE HISTORY OF ITALIAN BEAUTY__

Many, many years ago in ancient Rome the creation of many Italian cosmetic or cosmetae products was about to begin. The Romans made many of products that the ancient Italians used such as make-up masks and perfume. Many of the products that were created by the ancient Italians or the Romans are actually often used today in our country. Two of the products that the ancient Romans created that are used today are special perfumes and make-up masks. There was a lot to making each product though.

Italy’s ancestors ho were at that time the Romans took outer beauty extremely seriously. They would even whip people in the face if they looked too old or just extremely ugly. Now Italians are very interested in fashion and outer beauty infact many of the worlds most famous models come from Italy. Italians from the past an today do admire the people with good hearts and souls but they mainly just Focus on a persons outer beauty instead of inner beauty. The Italians are very strange in a way.

One of the products that was made in ancient times were the make-up masks. Since the Romans couldn’t bare the ugly faced people one bit, they had their slaves go out into the wilderness and receive ingredients to create special masks to get rid of a person’s wrinkles such as plants, barley, lugine and many more plants. When the slaves gathered all of the ingredients for the masks they returned home and mixed all of the ingredients together with everyday kitchen tools such as spoons, spatulas, and ring chopped mixers. When the mixing was done the ingredient were poured into dead animal parts like crocodile, deer horns, and excrements of kingdomfish. Then the ingredients were left alone for a while until the day came where the slaves took he mixed ingredients and mixed them once more with oils, goose grease, basil juice, and oregana seeds, then the masks were made but with great caution.

Another product that was created in the past was the perfume. Unlike the make-up masks the perfume making process was created by the Arabs. To make the perfume the Arabs gathered flowers and other things that they thought smelled good. When they finished gathering the ingredients for the perfume which were usually flowers like roses or lilies they would get the liquid scent by squeezing the leaves to get the liquid. Then the perfume would b given its base onfacia. Then the perfume was born.
