It is said that the famous Queen Elizabeth has dark skin and is very rough. As the saying goes, you need what you lack, and the beauty of Queen Elizabeth is particularly white, so the portraits of Queen Elizabeth handed down now are all white faces, almost comparable to the makeup of Japanese geisha. Because Queen Elizabeth's position is very lofty, other medieval ladies who led her began to pursue the ultimate white beauty.
In order to achieve a fair complexion, Queen Elizabeth daubed a lot of heavy metals such as lead and mercury on her face. These substances did make her skin white in a short time, but the side effects were great. Not only will it be dependent, but once it is stopped, the skin will become extremely rough, which is why many people spread the Queen Elizabeth's makeup with very rough skin. These substances were not only circulated at that time, but also used in some small workshops and unqualified beauty salons.
