Egyptians bathed in water before anointing themselves with oils or fats. Lotions and creams existed, usually manufactured from wax or fat. Wealthy people anointed themselves with perfumes. Perfumes were costly and were usually derived from plants like henna, cinnamon, iris, lilies, roses, and turpentine.

Malachite (copper ore) was ground into powder and mixed with other ingredients to produce the green eye make-up so commonly depicted in Egyptian art. Wearing eye make-up served several functions: it had aesthetic value, and also served to protect the eyes from both glare and eye diseases like opthalmia, which is still common in Egypt today.

Many Egyptians shaved their heads and shaved or plucked body hair. Wigs were fashioned from human hair and were popular because lice will not breed in dead hair.

Ancient Egyptian's often wore little cones of mixed fat and beeswax on their heads.

Beeswax is one of the finest natural ingredients for nourishing the skin - a beeswax salve provides instant relief for sunburn and can even prevent the skin from peeling...
