EP - 115 - Skincare Before Science: Inside Medieval Beauty Culture

Welcome, my love buckets! Step into the real world of medieval beauty- a place where "glowing skin" meant experimenting with ingredients that ranged from clever to catastrophic. In this episode, I peel back the rituals, recipes, and dangerously creative practices that shaped the medieval ideal face, and the women who kept that knowledge alive. Some of what you'll hear will shock you, some will weirdly make sense, and some might feel unsettlingly familiar. If you think modern beauty culture is intense... wait until you hear where we came from. By the end, you might start questioning how different we really are today. Are. You. Ready? **************** Featured AD: If you love wandering into the stranger corners of history with me, you'll want to hear the trailer for my new narrative show, Murder Through Time: A Whodunit Across the Centuries.
