Skincare has been essential since way back in ancient times. The first documentations of skincare practices can be traced back to ancient China, Egypt, Greece, and Rome. In China, it can be traced back to the Shang dynasty, around 1760 BC, but the very first recorded skincare routine is that of a Qin dynasty empress. With indisputably a basis in Traditional Chinese Medicine, she believed cleanliness, good circulation, herbal medicine, and a healthy, nutritious diet to be essential for beautiful skin. She would eat a lot of black beans, sesame seeds, and Chinese yam, and made natural cleansers from seaweed and jellyfish. Today we know jellyfish contain antimicrobial properties. Holistic beauty with a focus on healthy skin was and still is greatly valued.
