What a Skincare Routine From the Early 1800s Looked Like |Real Historic Recipes|

Almonds, oatmeal & cream sound like a good breakfast but this time we're putting it on our skin! I picked out some recipes (or receipts as they used to be called) from the 2 books The Toilette of Health, Beauty, and Fashion (1832) and The Mirror of the Graces, (1813). Let's see what they look like as they are recreated 200 years later. Like always, watch till the end to see images of the actual receipts as they appeared in the original book.

[@blueollis]

Very similar to my current skincare actually. All homemade and using a lot of oats - it's the best ingredient!

[@EarlyAmerican]

I love oatmeal anything too. Making it like this the toner was very thick and milky it felt incredible on the skin almost like a hydrating gel.

[@gafls3151]

I use a homemade oatmeal pack. Face feels so smooth. I didn't know about using the oat milk as a toner so I'm going to try that thanks.

[@stilltrying619]

We make hair and face masks every week-- simmer flax seeds & oats in milk or water, steep in dry herbs, strain it through a stocking or old sock, then whip in raw honey and oils. Use more and heavier oils/butters for curly/kinky hair and dry skin, smaller amounts of light oils for straight hair and oily skin.

[@findingbeautyinthepain8965]

@@filthypeasant9524 To be fair, a lot of women look the same whether they do this stuff or not. Most of us just do these things because they relax us. The only part of my hair and skin care routine I’d actually look different without is moisturizer, because my skin gets dry and cracked without it. The things that makes women look different, but are actually quite bad for us are makeup, hair products, (gel, smoothing cream, hairspray) and hot tools (blow dryer, curling iron, straitener). A lot of women actually have damaged skin and hair from these products, and instead of not using them and letting their skin and hair heal, they continue to use them to cover up the damage. I’m sure some women are going to get upset and disagree with my comment, because it goes against modern cosmetics, but it’s a fact that modern skin and hair products are designed to make people look good in the moment, not long term.

My wife would take oatmeal baths if she had a rash on her legs or arms. She has skin allergies when it comes to certain fragrances and even grass. She had a terrible grass rash from walking our dogs back in 2018. She always used to take oatmeal baths using "colloidal oatmeal". Works like a charm. Even made her skin smoother and softer.

I had to take oatmeal baths when I had an awful case of the chicken pox as a kid. The smell still grosses me out a bit, because my sinuses were messed up then, so the smell was weird to me. I know it's great for the skin, and I use oatmeal lotion for babies as my main body lotion.
