Radical beauty mistakes of the past


Rx for Brown Skin for African American skin care

 


Your African American skin care product can do a lot to keep you looking gorgeous, which is a good thing considering some of the crazy things women have put themselves through for beauty. A recent article published in the Huffington Post's style blog Stylelist detailed some of the radical things that movie stars of the past did to enhance their appearance.


First, it was rumored that Marlene Dietrich had her molars removed in order to make her cheekbones more pronounced. Next, Elizabeth Taylor was reportedly born with hypertrichosis, a condition where she was covered in dark hair all over her body, including her nose and ears. Regardless of the fact that it eventually fell off, Taylor regularly shaved her face for a smooth look.


The news source pointed out that Taylor wasn't the only lady to pick up a razor


"In an effort to get glowy skin, [Marilyn Monroe] used Active pHelityl cream, a topical natural hormone replacement. One side-effect was that she grew a layer of peach fuzz, which Monroe proceeded to shave off," according to the news provider.


TotalBeauty.com discusses some more common beauty mistakes that people make. For example, they warn against putting makeup on dry, flaky skin. Foundation will emphasize the flakes by sitting on top of the skin. Also, the website reminded readers to not ignore their eyebrows or over-pluck them.
