Typically, we don't think people of the 1920s were big skincare people like we are today. But, they were obsessed with a few things. For example there were many beauty treatments to make you look younger. They promised to ¨maintain the fresh unlined appearance of youth and keep the contours of your face firm and rounded¨. Another product claimed to ¨strengthen the exhausted tissues, round out furrowed cheeks, and invigorate sagging muscles of the cheeks and neck.¨ (1). Something else women of the 1920s aimed to achieve to look more awake with eye cream products claiming to ¨the tired lined appearance is entirely removed, while it improves the sight and prevents wrinkles and lines.¨ (1). The other thing women wanted to achieve was a young appearance through their forties with many different creams and oils from Marie Barlow. Her ad says to ¨Give just ten minutes a day to your complexion with this simple home treatment.¨
