Cosmetologist Day: History

Cosmetologist's Day has its origin in prehistoric times when the first humans used materials made with plants, animals or minerals to protect the body, protect the body from the sun's rays or for hygienic and beautification purposes.

The ancient Egyptians, in turn, had their own methods and ways of using treatments to beautify the skin and appearance. In fact, they have been credited with being the first to develop ways to extract important ingredients from natural resources.

The Egyptians had a very particular fondness for hairstyles, wigs, milk baths, stylized silhouettes, the delineation of the eyes; beautification was part of a culture in which the spiritual, art, religion and science were of fundamental importance.

The two Egyptian queens who stood out for their beauty and aesthetic secrets were Nefertiti and Cleopatra. However, Greece was the civilization of beauty; Their influence throughout the world was such that they shaped the so-called classical ideal of beauty. In fact, it was the Greeks who spread throughout Europe, a large number of beauty products, as well as cosmetic formulas, the cult of the body and baths.

In these two cultures, the custom of having slaves dedicated exclusively to the cultivation of the beauty of their mistresses began. This custom was accentuated at the time of the Roman Empire and the slaves specialized in specific subjects such as bathing, makeup, headdresses, etc. Thus, this was evolving to become the profession we know today.
