The Beauty Standards of Ancient Egypt 

It is no wonder that these Egyptian actresses are so beautiful. Ancient Egyptians were so obsessed with beauty that they placed a high emphasis on their physical appearances. As a result, they created perfumes, oils, and other beauty treatments and standards for both women and men.

The relationship between beauty and youth was always a significant part of the concept of beauty in Ancient Egypt. They depict young Egyptian women as a youthful, energetic with a slim silhouette contrary to the less attractive older women. They also depicted a perfectly symmetrical face a consideration to be one of the integral parts of ideal beauty. Thus, Egyptian women would use kohl eyeliner to master the symmetrical art of the “cat-eye” look. This kohl was also used to protect their eyes from the sun.

They also mixed milk and honey to create moisturizing face masks and used cosmetics to boost their skin’s ability to fight off infections. Wealthy women used oils to fight wrinkles and preserve their youth. They even had warm milk baths as a skincare treatment. Cleanliness and hygiene were highly favored among women. Egyptian women even wear much more elaborate wigs than men’s.

Interestingly enough, the standard of beauty in ancient times is much the same in modern Egypt. The only difference is that modern Egyptians wear much less revealing clothing and their sense of fashion has become more westernized.
