Indeed they did, for the search for beauty has existed since Eve first saw her reflection in a watery mirror in Eden. They simply, like Eve, had to resort to natural products for softening and coloring their skin, shampoo ing their hair, and perfuming their bodies. Perhaps they took a cue from the Indians, who rubbed themselves in bear grease to avoid dry skin and enhanced their appearance with the juice from berries and plants. DIET HELPED! Probably it should be said that the pioneers may not have had as many beauty problems in the first place since their diet, by necessity, excluded the copious amounts of sweets found in the eating habits of modems. If there were skin prob lems, however, a good clean sing agent was recommended such as lye soap, followed by a com meal paste. A good astringent of cucumber juice might follow to aid a “sagging” condition. If the individual had aged suffi ciently to have acquired liver spots, onion slices, the skin of daffodil bulbs, or buttermilk applications might be em ployed. HAIR CARE WAS NATURAL AFFAIR Care of the hair was a simple matter-lots of brush ing and combing, along with occasional shampooing in rainwater or the unpolluted water of a lake or stream.

Baldness and thinning hair? A diet that included molasses, honey, sunflower seeds and grapes was highly recommended as a restora tive. Rubbing the scalp with wine and sage tea and then covering the head with a hot towel was also practiced. Then there was the matter of smelling good. Sachets to freshen the household were common. Made of crushed flower petals, pungent roots, and dried fruit peels, they could be placed in closets, in drawers or even carried on the person. The latter practice undoubtedly made a lot of sense in that the need for a daily bath did not receive quite the emphasis given in recent times. NATURE REDISCOVERED! If su?h beauty treatments seem primitive nowadays, perhaps a closer look at a modem cosmetic counter could be in order. The viewer might come to realize that nature is being rediscovered. Looking for a good cream or lotion? How about cucum ber cold cream, face lotion, night cream, emulsion, or bath oil? Something different in a shampoo? Why not try camo mile, cherry honey or herbal essence? Want to feel fresh after your bath? Sample the cherry honey foam bath, the pine essence, the strawberry, car rot, lettuce, tomato, milk and sulphur soap. Age signs showing a bit.

Farm-City Chairman Named Ben Floyd has been named Yancey County’s Farm City Week Chairman for the 1974 observance of Farm-City Week.
