  • Our popular film of a 1940's beauty and skin care routine - now AI colorized in 4K resolution with a brand new soundtrack. The 1948 beauty tutorial covers skin care, cleansing, tweezing of eyebrows, the best way to shave legs. Nail care and finally an in depth look at hair care and the correct way to brush your hair. The fact that it's narrated by a man will no doubt raise some hackles, but that was the 1940's.
    00:00 How to clean your Skin. Daily bath or shower. Give your skin a good invigorating workout.
    01:18 Only wear clean lingerie next to clean skin. Use lubricating cream after shower.
    01:47 Hair removal. Take care of single hairs with a pair of tweezers. For legs, use safety razor. Avoid chemical hair removers if possible.
    02:20 Regularly remove nail polish to prevent cracking of the fingernail.
    02:30 Proper hair care requires knowledge of your hair and scalp health. Wash your hair every two weeks with water and a mild soap.
    03:28 Rinse hair thoroughly. A few drops of lemon helps remove residue. If your hair squeaks after final rinse, you can be sure it's clean.
    03:55 Follow washing by doing up your hair in pins and curling rods. Permanent waving won't damage your hair but hair dye or bleach can make it brittle.
    04:30 Brush and comb your hair daily and methodically.

    My Grandma who was is her late teens and early 20s during the 1940s taught me about skin care and beauty habits. She spoke about exfoliating with a wash cloth all over (which seemed so tedious) and always using lotion on your body and face cream. Finish with pats of body powder, all over and concentrating on specific areas. Then using lotion on your hands throughout the day, everyday. She would also use witch hazel and made sure to clean the inside of her ears. There is nothing worse than going to a hair salon with dirty ears. She also spoke about having clean manicured nails that were polished and toe nails/feet that were properly maintained. Perfume was a must but only quality perfume. Fragrances like Shalimar, Joy and Chanel 5. Always wear clean clothing and "under garments" But most important was taking care of your teeth and making sure your hair was neat and styled. She had so many more tips but that is just some. The women of her time were incredibly polished. Doing the same today, would be very time consuming.

You could use a drop of dish soap in water and wash your face and follow it up with a small bit of hand lotion. The cosmetics and beauty product industry is a multi-trillion dollar business for a reason: People think they need to buy expensive and a whole bunch of things. Marketing exists to convince people they need things, so the company's owner can have their million dollar house.
      Same with household cleaners. You don't need a toilet cleaner, sink cleaner, tub and tile cleaner, etc., etc. It all does the same thing: Clean.

And my answer to that is learning to enjoy my happiness while it lasted and learn to enjoy my sadness as it will pass and learn to enjoy my youth while it lasts and enjoy my old age wether I become restricted or not. It was not a waste to be born even if we're going to die. I know I came here for a purpose and I'm learning to be happy with every thing that comes my way☺️ be it good or bad. And I've decided to believe in life after death and feel safe with the thought that I won't just disappear like I never happened.

    Washing hair once every two weeks...I can only dream. I have Asian hair that gets oily quickly so I usually have to wash every 2-3 days, which I now finally know is normal for my ethnicity. It took me a longgg time to learn that the whole infrequent washing thing was not meant for people like me. There are always so many tips online that talk about how washing too frequently is unhealthy, and I always felt like there was something wrong with my hair for not adhering to those rules. I used to watch movies growing up where they talked about washing their hair like it was some big event and I always laughed it off, never thinking it was actually a real thing since I washed my hair on the regular. Sad that it took me so long to learn that there's another set of "rules" specifically for my hair type.

    Another advantage they had back then was an incredible diet and portion control that we’ve since lost. They ate meat, vegetables, fruit, and grain- but all minimally processed, none of it was GMO or pumped full of hormones, and they weren’t contaminated with nearly as much pesticides and pollutants. Sugary drinks were also FAR less consumed as was sugar in general. Their meal portions were much more balanced and their expertise more frequent and integrated into their everyday activities. That’s why people think fondly on this era despite its obvious flaws- life was in many ways much simpler.

    It's interesting to see someone from the 1940s using a shower. My grandparents were born in the 1920s and even in the 1970s and 80s they always took a bath. I thought it was strange until I read that showers weren't used widely until the 50s and 60s. And after that baths were for kids, older people who were used to it or someone wanting to unwind.
    This is a really good video. Women of that time look so classy. Look at her gorgeous robe and beautiful nightgowns. By the 70s/80s it was t shirts, lol

    "Your hair should be washed once every 2 weeks" 😵‍💫If I wouldn't wash my hair for 2 weeks straight it would look, smell and feel terrible. After 4-5 days it looks super greasy, if it gets to 7 days or more without washing my scalp gets itchy and irritated and my hair starts falling. Maybe for some people once every 2 weeks can work, but for me is a big no.

    My grandmother was born in 1908, and I remember she would wash her hair very infrequently. She would also put her hair in pin curls like that. I also remember how odd it was that even though she had a shower, she would always take baths, and then wash her hair while kneeling on the outside of the tub, or in the sink. Kind of like the girl did in the video. I always thought it was weird - you have a shower, why not do it all in one like we do today?

    I have acne (with or without pus) on my face and chest. Two people (a boy and a girl) from my family told me that these imperfections had to be fixed. I never gave importance to those blemishes in the past, but even so, I paid 36 dollars for a dermatological consultation and the dermatologist told me that he had to follow this treatment:
    I must reduce the consumption of fats and dairy products.
    For the face: 1 sunscreen, 1 facial soap, 1 micellar water and 2 facial acne products
    For the chest: 2 products for chest acne.
    All this made a sum of 177 dollars (my god...) and I bought all of it. The change wasn't that big, but still, I did it for my appearance and for the 2 people.
    Right now, I only use facial soap, sunscreen and I have a balanced/healthy diet. I still have those imperfections, but they don't affect my self-esteem and I am normal, happy and calm.
    In fact, it never affected my self-esteem, I never cared (if it was about me); I did that for others.

    In those days I was suffering from terrible acne for over more than a year after I hit the age of 21. That was the most depressing time of life as I used quadruple medicines and expensive skincare products with absolutely no results. This video made me realise I should stick to natural remedies and make the most out of what I have and I can afford.
    Within hardly a year of following these tips I saw incredible progress. 3 years down, my skin has completely reversed my acne issues, and looks more stunning than it EVER did! I do get some pimples here and there once in a while but it is never a big deal as they dont last longer than a few days. Whats lovely about this routine is that it is wayyy simpler than it looks and it's not even close to being as time consuming as a "regular skincare routine" of this era oughts to be. I m so glad to have stuck to this golden advice as it helped me so much and I deeply wish more women could do the same. It is never too late ladies. Stay clean, stay healthy. :-) dont be lazy!
