Throughout history, some mythical iconic women have been met who have transcended history due to their roles in society, their teachings, achievements and undeniable beauty. One of them would be the famous Cleopatra, who was the last ruler of the Ptolemaic dynasty of ancient Egypt, whose legacy as a ruler was one of the most powerful and well known to this day. Cleopatra was a strict woman with regard to the care of her beauty, not for nothing managed to captivate the Romans Julius Caesar and Marco Antonio. Her beauty routine was not only due to the makeup she wore, but rather it was something more natural and spiritual, it even dates back to the years of the Egyptian queen Nefertari, known as “the most beautiful of all” and that has transcended forever.

Cleopatra’s radiant beauty was derived from various routines that consisted of natural and in some cases, strange products. Here is a list for you to take note …

● It is well known that cucumber is a great ally for the skin, as it is a great moisturizer. Cleopatra used a mask that consisted of heavy cream whipped with olive oil, and honey and to give it a special touch, a few slices of cucumber.

● It is said that when the moon was in the first quarter, the Egyptian queen trimmed her eyelashes for 3 nights in a row and then gently fractionated them with almond essential oil.
