Not all beauty treatments are the work of white-coated scientists toiling in ultra-clean laboratories. Thanaka powder, which comes from grinding the wood and bark of the thanaka tree, has long been used on the face to brighten the complexion and shield the skin against free radicals, polluted air and harmful UV rays. Argan oil was traded as a coveted beauty agent in and around the Mediterranean area in 12 BC. The Berber women of southern Morocco were known for their exotic beauty, and their secret was applying this golden oil regularly to their faces, nails, hair and body.
Key Takeaways:
- Burmese women have been doing the SPF thing for years -- more than 2,000 to be exact.
- Thanaka powder, which comes from grinding the wood and bark of the thanaka tree, has long been used on the face to brighten the complexion and shield the skin against free radicals, polluted air and harmful UV rays.
- Thanaka powder is still used today -- women cover cheeks, foreheads and chins with the paste and wear it throughout the day.
"The fact that some of these have been around for thousands of years is surely a good sign they actually work."
