Beauty Time Capsule: The World's oldest beauty products you can still buy today (500 years old!)

I buy Yardley soap at the Dollar Tree for $1.25 a bar. They have the Lavender, but also other scents. I love them. They have Pears bar soap some times as well.

[@mariahsmom9457]

That's good to know! Walmart stopped carrying Yardley and I have been looking for it. ❤

[@roringusanda2837]

I tried Yardley soap, but found it very harsh and drying! Never buying it again!

[@EAkbar-pc2yq]

I can only use Yardley soap. Most other soaps are too harsh for my skin.

Love the old ads you shared! For decades, my aunt used Vaseline all over her face when she went to bed at night…like a sleep mask. She passed away at 88 years old, and barely had any wrinkles…it was remarkable. 😮❤

[@privatepirate4353]

An interesting thing about Pears soap, is they had the first ever celebrity endorsement, Lillie Langtry. She was the most famous beauty of her day and lead a fascinating and scandalous life. I'd love to see a biography of her on your channel.

[@pasleybern]

I sometimes use Vaseline as a lip balm, and sometimes on my cuticles and cracked feet. Vaseline has a long history of use in the African American community, as an all-over moisturizer. Most us stopped using it that way though, because even though it protects skin and helps cuts heal, it attracts dirt and doesn’t let healthy skin breathe.

[@jercasgav]

So I am a pasty white pale as heck, I live in Colorado (dry semi arid desert weather with lots of sun), and I have a genetic condition called ehlers-danlos syndrome. EDS affects all the collagen I make in my body, and it makes my skin super thin, sensitive, and prone to irritation at a lower threshold...so I am on the lotion, vaseline, cuticle oil, and lip balm ALL the time too! I have tried so many things, and a lot of oils or products tend to irritate my skin, but pound for pound good old vaseline is just awesome at being gentle and creating the best barrier to stop skin from chapping or drying more. It does wonders for cuticles, rough feet, and dry knuckles or elbows etc! It is super nice as an intensive for little spots that really need some help and protection.

[@patsalas5170]

Same...I use Vaseline on lips and feet every night and morning ❤

[@cocoaorange1]

My mom told me as a teen rubbing your legs with alcohol and Vasoline will keep you warm in the winter.

My grand-grand-mother used to wear the Bourjois blush "cendre de rose". My mom and I are happy to wear the exact same blush ❤

[@theprousteffect9717]

The idea of Noxzema being used to "treat" eczema is a huge yikes. All the eucalyptus oil, menthol, and camphor seems like it would feel nice at first but actually be horribly irritating and exacerbate sensitive skin problems.

[@laurastrobel718]

Exactly.😕

[@kellyross4801]

Actually it's very soothing on my rosacea 🙏

[@alimagrog]

Depends on the person and what their eczema reacts to. Also, it might be diluted enough to cause any issues. I have atopic dermatitis and can handle those oils in most products without issues. But some products that may be less diluted will irritate. Eczema is different for everyone with it.

[@carimecatton8376]

I’ve been using noxzema as a cream for my face since I was 15 years old now 39! My face is perfect! I don’t use makeup.

[@verycherry4459]

My dermatologist had me use Vaseline when I had stitches to prevent scarring because it reduces or prevents scabbing and promotes healing faster. It keeps it moisturized.

[@babzcandlenook26]

Love love love your historical research!! Use many of the products: Yardley soap, Vaseline, Nivea cream!!, ponds. Currently on a kick with castor oil. All over my face.

[@rld1278]

Noxzema was my go to as a teen then young adult. I've used it off and on since. My brother in law used original Listerine his entire life and has never had a cavity.

[@cynthiabarker522]

Before liquid hand soap became available, the elementary school I attended had bars of Ivory soap for us to wash our hands with. I always thought Ivory had a weird smell. My parents always bought Dial soap in the gold bars.

[@patsalas5170]

❤ I love the smell of ivory soap 😂...target still sells a pack of 12 bars for $5.12

[@LailabulaBekele]

My elementary used dial and the scent forever brings me comfort!

[@jenniferriske1328]

My grandma always had Ivory soap in her bathroom. I have fond memories of it. Just smell takes me back to her house

[@bedsidebetty]

I miss Shiseido's essence so much. We used to carry it at the Sephora I work in, and I felt so glamorous, just taking home a few samples to try it out.

[@Laurajaneatelier]

I agree I like the bottle but ingredients weren’t good

[@lindseystein9676]

I love penhaligons. I just wish they weren’t so expensive! Their bluebell and Lilly of the valley scents are so nice. My old fave was called lavandula, which had a mostly lavender scent, but it was discontinued

[@lillydee5978]

After trying multiple overpriced makeup removing balms that under-performed, and even finding that some of them molded quickly, I've gone back to my good and true Noxzema. I will never stray again. I like Pear's and Yardley's soaps too.

[@kateg7298]

I used to wear hard contacts and there were a few times that I scratched my eyes with them. After one accident where I got hit with a softball and had one shatter in my eye, the ER doctor told me that for any eye injury, you should put a small amount in your eye to block air (causes pain) and friction. Your eye should heal in 24 hours. I also grew up putting Vaseline on burns and used it for diaper rash my son had. Again, an older doctor told me that it worked great. It really does! I use it on cuts too. It keeps the wound clean and it won't get infected.

[@pattihuke2992]

I love Ponds to remove make up. Such a lovely smell, and I love how it removes makeup leaving my skin moisturized.

[@LadyCoyKoi]

I would love to know more about the history behind Violeta cologne, if possible. 🙏🙏🙏 I recall many parents in the Cuban and Haitian communities here in South Florida during the 1980s and 90s over using violeta as a anti-lice perfume. Which there is a lot of truth to it that I use it on my pets growing up and my fur babies NEVER had fleas, ticks, mosquitos nothing! I still use it on myself and my fur babies. The fur babies get annoyed at times, but it is absolutely the ONLY thing I found that prevents bugs being on them. My pups and kitties NEVER get bugs on them, and it is due to the violeta cologne. It is my go to. Please, make a history video, if possible. Thank you so much.

[@lyn9291]

This is very interesting. I have 3 cats plus 2 of my daughter's for a time. Which violet cologne do you use? I didn't see one mentioned in the video.

[@karymystik]

I use Labello everyday to moisture my lips before i go to bed. My favorites are the scrub line. It just has the word scrub and maybe what apoears to be sugar on top but it runs out fast. Still the formula is lighter than the regular one so i prefer it. And they smell really good.

[@ROUGUEDRAGONCRAFT]

I use the rosé salve, my aunt who was a make up artist in Hollywood uses on her clients. She recommended it because it didn’t dry out your lips. You can use it as a blush and sheer eyeshadow.

For about 5 years I worked with an estate agent. As it's mainly used to care for and sell the household if elderly people I would often come across really old clothes, hats and yes- beauty products.

I use Thayers Rose Petal toner every day, morning upon arising and at night after makeup removal and a shower. The milk cleanser is very nice as well, but I use it after a thorough makeup removal with a different product. I am 71! My granddaughter is using it as well now, along with a cleanser. She is 11.

[@someonerandom256]

It makes a fantastic setting spray!

[@ashlingdelphe5075]

I use Vaseline on cuts, it stops the bleeding if you put on a really thick layer and stops the cut from sticking to bandages. But the cut needs oxygen to heal so I only do it during the day and at night I let the cuts ‘breath’ so they can heal

[@prissouv9995]

[@wvanderwahl]

I used to use Pears soap but recent formulations available in New York drug store chains tend to smell like oil. Vaseline, I do use on my feet, and it works well on minor nicks and scrapes.

I use Vaseline for a slugging also but it is known for helping heal, cuts by providing a protective layer over the skin, and will help any kind of antibacterial ointment applied first the same way it helps trap skin care ingredients when you use it for slugging. But please please please tell me what eyeshadow you are wearing because I love it so much and I have a similar skin pallor to you.
