How did the princesses n the queens used to take care of their beauty?what was their beauty care products?

Depends when you are talking about.





From about the 15th through the 18th century, they didn't bathe at all, or maybe once a year, they used lead powder for their faces and wigs, and generally shaved their heads (to avoid lice) and wore wigs, which became increasingly elaborate until they were so tall in the 18th century...well, just look up Marie Antoinette, and you'll get an idea.





In the 18th century, women also took drugs, like opiates, to make their eyes dilate and look more beautiful.





(ps...lead is a poison...so, not such a great ';beauty care product';. It ate the skin and caused early death)How did the princesses n the queens used to take care of their beauty?what was their beauty care products?
I don't know so much about makeup, other than it was more natural makeup from plants and herbs. They bathed probably once or twice a year if they weren't lucky, probably 4-5 times if they were. So they used lots of perfume to keep down the stinky smells. They used lots of powder on their faces and hair. A lot of princesses and queens would have really big, poofy hair that was really tall, to make them look bigger and better than everyone else. Their baths usually took hours because there was so much powder in their hair and on their skin. Hope that helps for whatever you're doing.

It depends what period we are talking about. Queen Elizabeth I for instance whitened her complexion with a lotion made from egg-whites, powdered egg-shell, alum, borax, poppy seeds and mill water. She had her hair washed in lye, a mixture of wood-ash and water. A white complexion with red cheeks and lips was the fashionable look in her day. Rouge made from cochineal (which was very expensive) might be used to redded the cheeks and lips, or vermillion or rose madder could also be used. Kohl was used to darken the eyelashes. Ladies wore perfume, and many ladies distilled their own, every house that was large enough had its own still-room.





During Queen Victoria's reign, cosmetics became unfashionable, the natural look was admired, and cosmetics came to be associated with 'fast' women and with prostitutes. Ladies would still have used perfume though.





People did bathe in the Tudor period, all Elizabeth I's palaces had bathrooms with indoor plumbing for example. But bathing did decline in popularity during the 17th and 18th centuries.
Queen Elizabeth I used white lead to make her skin pure white. Then she would paint eyebrows on, and paint her lips and the result would look like a mask. During the day, the lead would crack! Either the lighting was too poor for people to notice, or people were too polite to say! She was also completely bald, and had several wigs, one of which was made of bright green silk.
Henna for the hair.


Lamb skin oil (lanolin) for the complexion.


Jeweller's rouge for colour.


Rose, lilac or other plant water for perfume.


Baking soda for body odour.
Please narrow your question down! Princesses and queens of where? And when? As it stands, your question could be about anything from Ancient Egypt to Princess Pocahontas.
