Homemade masks, lotions and scrubs
In the conditions of total deficiency, Soviet women used everything that is at hand to prepare cleansing or leaving. So, for example, a mask and scrubs made of oat flakes were considered one of the most effective versions of softening, cleansing and leveling the skin tone. This product helped to cope with inflammation, redness and rash. Home lotions were also very popular. The ladies independently created pink water (poured rose petals with boiling water, allowed to cool and filtered), cucumber tincture or lotion based on oak bark. Pink water was suitable for sensitive and dry skin, and cucumber and oak tincture - for normal, fat and combined. But for exfoliation, a cook salt, sugar or honey soda used. The regular use of domestic scrubs helped make the skin with silky, smooth and like shining from the inside.
Natural hair paintsSoviet women used natural paints, for example, henna who helped not only get the desired shade, but also restored and strengthened. As a result, the hair grew faster, it was smaller and looked more well-groomed and silky.
Soap instead of shampoo and no hair dryerIt is difficult to imagine that earlier there were no shampoos, no air conditioners, nor hair sprays, but it did not prevent our mothers and grandmothers to have beautiful and healthy curls. For the washing of the head, they used the usual soap (or a dephtyar, if someone had to get rid of dandruff and peeling). Soap perfectly cleared the skin of the head and did not lose her hair. In addition, Soviet women did not use a hairdryer, and dried their heads in a natural way. As a result, the tips are less than semen, the hair looked more voluminous and shiny.
Perhaps on the background of the variety of various products for removing makeup (from micellar water to sprays and lotions), many ladies still remember the fat cream of that time "Dzintars", which in the blink of an eye even the most resistant and intensive makebers, and periodically use this Reception. According to them, after this manipulation, the skin looks well-groomed, clean and moistened.
Mascara in cardboard boxDespite the wide arsenal of modern beauty products, many women with nostalgia recall the mascara in a cardboard box, to which a brush attached, reminiscent of a reduced copy of the toothbrush. And before applying a remedy for the eyes, it was necessary to drop a little water to it, to a special way to bring a brush and only then proceed to the process. Perhaps it was not as fast as we were accustomed, but it was worth it - the mascara did not spread (did not creep), it was well crossed every cilia and raised in a special way. As a result, the glance was turned open and sexual.
