Here are a few things people once subjected themselves to in order to look their best that also was just as likely to get them in an early grave.
1.Wafer Arsenic
Women in ancient times would eat this arsenic wafer to get pale facial skin. Although this wafer is not advertised as one of the poisons, the oxymoron content is clearly dangerous to use.
With just a few intakes, their skin change to blemishes from rough skin texture.
2.Foot Binders
Very popular in China, it is called ‘Lotus Flower Feet’. The legs will be wrapped with bandages for 2 years to form and get the desired size. At the same time, blood flow to the toes does not cause gangrene and is fatal.
3. Aniline stockings
Dominating the fashion trends of the 1860s, dye aniline socks caused mass death. The socks contain chemicals that have stuck to the skin causing many people to experience inflammation, blood poisoning, and cancer. Although it looks beautiful, it is very dangerous to live.
4. Ribbon Diet
Obsessed with being thin and maintaining body shape made many women in the past take this tapeworm pill.
5.Needle Eyelash Extension
