How harnessing beauty secrets from the past is your key to a beautiful skincare regime
Everybody knows that Ancient Egyptians loved kohl and cats (we can totally relate!) But, did you also know they were masters in holistic therapy? Beauty, magic and medicine were so intertwined for them, that even the simple act of applying eye makeup was steeped in rituals, not only was it aesthetically pleasing (who doesn’t love a smoky eye?!) it was thought to repel flies, protect the eyes from the sun, ward off infection, AND offer protection against the Evil Eye! Now that really IS connecting the mind to the body, spirit and soul!
They were a civilisation literally obsessed with beauty, and body care was such an integral part of daily life that workers were sometimes paid in fragranced body oil. (Personally I only like the Gold part of gold, frankincense and myrrh!!)
Cleopatra herself was an accomplished aromatherapist. She blended, and sold, her own perfumes, wrote a book on beauty and is even credited with owning the very first beauty salon.. all this while ruling Egypt and seducing Mark Antony!
That's why, when Pretty Special Beauty was established, we sought inspiration from ancient times, with Cleopatra serving as our muse. Our aim was to develop skincare and body products that evoke feelings of allure and seduction. Imagine the pleasure of applying a luxuriously scented oil on your skin (or your partner's!) and who wouldn't appreciate a serum that instils a sense of empowerment and self-assurance?
To clarify, while all our products serve a purpose (and reportedly do it well), we believe that beauty goes beyond simply applying creams. When you use a Pretty Special product, our aim is for you to experience the sensation of unravelling ancient mysteries and reconnecting with your true self - a beautiful, sensual being who deserves to be indulged luxuriously.
Everything about a beauty product should make you feel good about yourself.. from opening a beautiful box to breathing in a wonderful scent.. it should all make you feel Pretty Special.. because you are!
