5 Unusual Beauty Practices From the Past That Are on Trend Again
Beauty Trends: Past Inspires Present
Many unusual beauty rituals from history are making a comeback—now safer and more refined.

Long Nails: Once a symbol of nobility in Qing China, long nails are now a form of bold self-expression, thanks to acrylics and gels.
Hair Removal: From Egyptian sugaring to Renaissance forehead plucking, today we have dermaplaning and threading for smoother, more precise results.

Snail Mucin: Used in ancient times for healing, snail slime is now a popular ingredient in Korean skincare, known for hydration and repair.

False Lashes: Once sewn into eyelids, lashes have evolved into customizable extensions, even applied beneath natural lashes for a seamless look.

Sponges (Badyaga): Used historically for natural blush, sponge spicules now act as micro-exfoliators to boost skin renewal.
Conclusion: Beauty is cyclical. Old trends return with modern updates, but care and professional guidance are key when exploring them.
