News update: In earlier times, our grandmother and grandmother rarely used beauty products purchased from the market. She was mostly dependent on domestic materials. For example, the use of mascara. Nowadays we buy expensive branded eyeliner or organic kajal, while grandmother-grandmother used to make it easily at home.
She also used to resort to natural methods for hair cleaning. Applying oil regularly and washing hair with soil was normal for them. For facial care, she used the products available in the kitchen. For example, improving the skin using milk, tomato and lemon. Milk cream was used to maintain skin moisture. Most of the beauty products of that time were chemical-free.
The method of making mascara was also very simple. Ghee and cloth lights were lit in the lamp, then a small pot of brass was placed on top of it and left overnight. Women used to mix this mascara with ghee. This increased her beauty and believed that it also improves eyesight.
Many types of shampoos and conditioners are also used for hair beauty, but coconut oil, mustard oil and gooseberry oil were prominent in earlier times. The head was massaged by mixing fenugreek seeds or aloe vera in coconut oil at least three times a week. The hair was washed with Ritha, Shikakai or Multani soil. Hair used to grow rapidly by making a paste of jaggery flower on the head.
