Old School Beauty Treatments That Should Stay Vintage

Egyptians And Lipstick

People have searched for and used beauty techniques for thousands of years, and the ancient Egyptians are probably one of the best examples of this. They used to use something called bromine in their lipstick. The naturally occurring red chemical was used as makeup, and it likely had some pretty severe consequences. We know today that bromine can cause a plethora of health issues if someone is in contact with it over extended periods of time.

The chemical can cause kidney failure and brain damage, but it can also lead to things like hallucinations, psychosis, irritability, confusion, and even a coma. This is one of those makeup trends we don't want coming back anytime soon.
