Secrete ale frumusetii... dezvaluite

Ritualurile de frumusete au existat dintotdeauna. Unele si-au pastrat povestea pana in zilele noastre, altele au fost uitate sau inlocuite cu noi practici adecvate momentului.

Cand vorbesti despre frumusete, incepi intotdeauna o poveste fara sfarsit. Chiar si-asa mi-am propus sa-ti dezvalui cateva secrete de altadata ale frumusetii: de la reginele egiptene, la divele de la Hollywood din anii ’40 si pana la o persoana care mi-a influentat mult viata, bunica.

Frumusetea… cu 2000 de ani inaintea erei noastre si cu 2000 de ani dupa
Acum aproape 3400 de ani, Nefertiti a fascinat lumea cu frumusetea ei, iar secretele cu care isi mentinea farmecul au devenit astazi ritualuri de infrumusetare la mare cautare in saloanele si spa-urile din lume: de la masti faciale pana la diverse tehnici de masaj. Peste aproximativ 1400 de ani, Nefertiti urma sa fie detronata la capitolul frumusete de o alta regina egipteana: Cleopatra. Se spune ca, pentru a-si pastra frumusetea, ea isi aplica pe fata in fiecare seara o masca de aur. Mai rasfoim cateva pagini de istorie si ajungem in secolul XX, secol in care frumusetea a devenit o adevarata industrie... cu bune si cu rele.

Din lumea faraonilor in cea a stelelor de la Hollywood
Sa ne imaginam ca astazi este 11 februarie 1947 si sunt in Franta rasfoind paginile de beauty din VOTRE AMIE – Le Grand Hebdomadaire Feminin! In acest numar, actrita Frances Gifford dezvaluie cititoarelor secretele vedetelor de la Hollywood. Ce ritualuri aveau ele pentru a fi mereu la inaltime in lumina reflectoarelor? Se pare ca privirea sclipitoare a Lanei Turner se datora unei picaturi de lamaie pentru fiecare ochi (Nu incerca asa ceva acasa!!!). Kathryn Grayson isi pastra parul stralucitor cu ajutorul unei masti din ulei de cedru, esenta de trandafiri si lapte de cocos, iar tenul lui Greer Garson era intotdeauna impecabil datorita unei masti din albus de ou batut spuma aplicata in fiecare dimineata.
France Gifford isi respecta cu strictete ritualul de curatare a tenului. In ce consta acesta? Pentru inceput, actrita se spala pe fata in fiecare seara cu apa calduta si sapun. Apoi, isi masa pielea cu o perie moale timp de cinci minute. Dimineata repeta procedeul de spalare cu apa si sapun, iar pe tenul perfect curat aplica pentru cateva secunde un prosop imbibat in apa foarte rece. Atunci, ca si acum, daca erai vedeta, trebuia sa ai grija de felul cum arati la fiecare pas. Dar existau zile in care totul trebuia sa fie “mai mult ca perfect”. In acele zile, France Gifford apela la un truc special. Pentru a reda prospetimea tenului adaugand totodată si putina culoare naturală in obraji, ea invelea un cub de gheata intr-o compresa si isi masa cu delicatete tenul.

Scotocind printre amintiri
Din 1947, pasesc mai aproape de prezent si imi las mintea sa se plimbe printre amintiri. Ma aflu acum alaturi de persoane pe care le priveam cu multa curiozitate cand eram mica si ale caror sfaturi erau litera de lege pentru mine.
In copilarie, bunica imi parea cea mai cocheta din lume. Cel mai atractiv accesoriu al ei era: rujul. Imi amintesc cum inainte de fiecare iesire la plimbare se dadea cu ruj pe buze si la final aplica putin si pe pometi. Ma uimeste cum unele amintiri si-au pastrat detaliile pana astazi… desi au trecut peste 20 de ani de atunci. Inca mi-e cunoscuta nuanta rujului: un rosu trandafiriu, pe care il testam si eu cand bunica avea treaba prin bucatarie.
Apa de toaleta era pastrata intr-o sticluta transparenta cu model marunt in relief. Denumirea nu o ştiu, dar tin minte ca aroma ei imi parea mult prea puternica, incat interesul pentru ea mi-a pierit rapid.
Aspectul parului era esential pentru bunica. O ajutam mereu la operatiunea “par pe moate”. Nu cred ca mi-a iesit bine niciodată, dar ea nu s-a plans de asta.
De crema de fata isi aminteste doar sora mea: Apidermin aplicată in fiecare dimineata si seara. Cu siguranta, mai avea si alte secrete… care au ramas secrete.

Ritualuri si ritualuri
Unele ritualuri s-au pastrat pana astazi, bineinteles cu imbunatatiri si ingrediente adaugate odată cu noile descoperiri in domeniul frumusetii. La alte ritualuri s-a renuntat in totalitate. Nu stiu daca o picatura de lamaie in ochi este cea mai buna alegere pentru a avea o privire stralucitoare si nici daca cinci minute de masaj facial cu o perie moale, apa calda si sapun sunt benefice pentru un ten sensibil si uscat, dar acestea sunt ritualuri care pentru acel moment reprezentau cheia frumusetii pentru anumite persoane.
Frumusetea este plina de secrete care sunt descoperite tocmai pentru a lasa altele noi sa apara.
