The truth behind the beauty of Cleopatra

Cleopatra was famous for her beauty. She seduced Julius Caesar and then Marco Antonio. That alone should be proof that she must have been the most beautiful woman of her time.

However, British archaeologists have unearthed silver coins that say otherwise. The image of him on those plains was far from the stunning beauty one expects to see. So why did the two most powerful men of her time fall for her?

For one thing, she was the queen of Egypt. Moreover, her suitors ruled the Roman Empire. They could have had any woman they wanted.

There are several possibilities. Perhaps society’s perception of beautiful features in those days is different from modern society’s view. Look at the 17th century paintings of nude beauties drawn by Reuben. In those days, such women were considered great beauties. Today women like that would be considered fat and not beautiful by modern standards. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

One thing remains the same through the ages. Beauty is linked to healthy skin. The women in Reuben’s paintings had beautiful skin that glowed. Cleopatra and other Egyptian queens are known to follow beauty regimens that focus on giving them beautiful skin. Baths in milk and honey. The use of aloe vera for your skin. All of these treatments result in smooth, beautiful skin.

The other beauty treatment Cleopatra is said to have used used aloe vera on her skin. So did Queen Nefertiti.

Both sulfur and salicylic acid are used topically to treat acne. Aloe vera itself is rich in antioxidants that are known for their anti-aging properties. Thats not all.
