Beauty therapy, a new trend or an ancient art?

http://www.healthmattersglasgow.co.uk... It is easy to see the rapid changes in beauty therapy techniques, styles and fashion as an indication that the art of Beauty therapy is a relatively new phenomenon. Every day we can review the pages of the beauty magazines and find the latest findings and technology to hit the market advertised as a new discovery and the best yet in its field. It would seem that we have never experienced a time where there was so many choices and new products with which to indulge ourselves. However the truth is very different. The definition of beauty and therefore our attempts to attain it have been defined from the times of ancient Egypt. This was a period where the notation of beauty was captured in the many wall paintings and papyrus scrolls that have survived over the centuries to pinpoint how important this was to the people in those times. We can understand this importance when we decipher the hieroglyphics depicting their daily lives and routines. Considering how much effort was required to produce papyrus scrolls and the fact they used this process and the extensive wall paintings to detail their beauty regimes, it is obvious that they put great store in looking after themselves.    • Beauty therapy, a new trend or an ancient ...
