These include objects for hair forming, skin masks and creams and physical products such as chin belts and mouth strips, which are intended to help breathe through the night and keep lowering the jaw that happens with age.
Although this trend is under fire for alleged unsustainability and excessive consumerism, it is only the latest beauty of FAD in a long time and money consuming “hacks” that women have taken for centuries.
From the tape to tuberculosisWomen participated in the list of lies beauty hacks to meet the prospects, many of whom were dangerous, painful and still deadly.
As for the ancient Egyptians, women are grounded toxic substances to make eyeliner and shadow eyes. They were dangerous when inhaled as powder (such as the grinding process) and can cause skin irritation when applied. And yet, somehow, heavy metal poisoning is among the smallest dangerous these historical trends of beauty.
In China, the feet tying is an example of a painful and entire treatment that changes around 10 are first changed. Century. The feet were usually tied before the foot of the feet developed (at the age of four to nine).
The process involved a strong twisting to the foot fingers towards the soles of the foot until the onions spoiled, and the foot would be firmly tied to maintained it in this position. The little feeling at the time were desired. Fortunately, this practice was prohibited in early 1900s after almost 200 years of opposition from Chinese and Western sources.
In Europe, the Renaissance period saw a new wave of beauty hacks, from arsenic baths (blooming the skin to almost transparent white) to Belladonna drops (literal poison) used to cause excited or water. Many women who used these tactics ended up to poisoned or blind.
During the reign of Elizabeth and, the appearance of the “English rose” was all anger. Women would let the blood be perfectly pale pale, or painting faces with “Venetian Ceruing” or “Venetian white” – otherwise known as a water color. The use of the Venetian ceruse is one of the suspects of the Death of Death Elizabeth I.
In Victorian era and early 1900s, women often dealt with hazardous practices to achieve the desired pale skin, red lip and a small waist. This aesthetic can be achieved by a contracting tuberculosis (a port infection that was often fatal), taking tablets with a ribbon, consuming living that they look forever young or chewing arsenic waffles to make the skin pale.
My own research has shown that sociocultural pressures are that they look a certain way differently throughout the world.
I discovered that white western women experience some of the biggest pressures appearance, followed by women of East Asian women. Although these refers to a little with years for white Western women, persevere in Asian women and never reach lower levels seen elsewhere. I found the lowest levels of sociocultural pressure and the highest levels of bodies in Nigeria.
As “morning” shows, women continue to go to large lengths to meet culturally shaped standards, especially in the conditions of greater economic inequality – something worsening in many countries.
For example, in the United States, cities that have greater economic inequality see greater spending on cosmetic products and services, such as cosmetic salons or women’s clothing.
With the advent of social media, especially with a short-shaped content like a tictok, reel and youtube short pants, speed at which beauty globalized and globalized trends.
These trends range from painful suction lips, they turned into large lips like a celebrity Kylie JennerTo the normalization of botox and fillers, to the laser hair removal of each unwanted follicle.
“Morning shed” is just the latest evolution in skin care trends, which started as health care, with an emphasis on sun and humidity protection. Since then, he has dragged into a study in excessive consumption and excessive commitment to time and money in search of staying in youth.
