Biblical Beauty: Ancient Secrets and Modern Solutions by Rachelle Weisberger is a considerable work which explains how ancient peoples maintained a youthful appearance into their elderly years. The preponderance of the modalities used are naturally based from substances well known to homemakers everywhere.
The women of the Hebrew Bible–such as Sarah, Rachel, Leah, Miriam, Rahab, Deborah, Bathsheba and Esther–are cited. Their stories serve as timeless models to introduce important subjects and to explore the underlying relationship between the physical side and hidden inner qualities, amplified by individual spirituality.
For instance, the ancient Egyptians used creams and oil to beautify the skin, according to the author. The various skin types–such as, tight skin, and skin with no shine–are explained at length. The facial area may be cleansed with fluids and the fingertips utilizing a circular motion. Platinum or gold may be worn by people with sensitive skin. Pearls should be kept away from hairspray to preserve their shiny appearance. The use of sunscreen may be evaluated with a patch test to determine the reaction inside the arm.
Optimal foods of the ancients include phytonutrients, resveratrol and quercitin which may be obtained from red apples. Sulfur and biotin are classic substances to enhance nails. Currently, the term phytonutrient is used to describe those plant compounds which are thought to help preserve health as described by the author. The antioxidant, immune boosting and other health promoting properties of active compounds in plants are under continuous scrutiny.
