A Brief History of Anti-Aging

For centuries, people have been looking for ways to delay the onset of wrinkles. People figured, while getting older couldn’t be stopped, at least they could remain looking young for as long as possible! The origins of preventing wrinkles isn’t anything new. Although Shira has been developing innovative skin care treatments since 1990, many ancient cultures including Greek, Indian, Chinese and Egyptian, developed their own ways to fight wrinkles, before anyone could buy anti-wrinkle cream and anti-aging products.

As one of the first societies to study cosmetology, Egyptians mixed natron and water to make a night cream. (Natron is a by-product of sodium bicarbonate or sodium carbonate.) Egyptians also were one of the first civilizations to use oils on their skin and hair to protect from the dry and hot climate of their land.

Greek women used honey and olive oil for moisturizing and protecting their skin. They also used these natural ingredients to create products that not only smelled good, but were beneficial to their skin. Many Greek women were also careful about limiting sun exposure to prevent wrinkles.

Indians also had their own skin care routines, including using sandalwood as a base for creams and medicines to clean and moisturize. It was also used to develop an anti-acne product by mixing it with turmeric. This created a paste that was left on overnight. Other ingredients they used in their skincare products included rosewater and other plants and herbs.

As time has passed, many modern anti-aging products and techniques have been discovered.
