We are a group of cosmetic scientists who understand what the chemicals used in cosmetics really do, how products are tested, and what all the advertising means.

I am wanting to know when the first facials were done in history. I thought my class would get a real kick of it..

Have you ever used it. I have, my mother made a kettle most every year (she is now 93 and in a nursing home) made the last when she was 90. When she was growing up that is all the soap they had, she washed her hair in it and it made it very shiny. I ran out of dog shampoo one day and put some shaved in a cup of hot water in the blender and made some great shampoo. It was thick like lotion and certainly did not hurt the dog and go her very very clean. It does not hurt your hands or any other part of your body. You are wrong about lye soap being harsh.

Alum was used as far back as Renaissance England to stop the odor of the arm-hole (as it were)--but only after plucking out all the hairs in the arm-hole. Eeeyikes.
