Vanhoista kauneudenhoidon kirjoista l\u00f6ytyy jos jonkinlaisia ohjeita. Joulukalenterin kuudennentoista luukun vintage-kauneusvinkit keskittyv\u00e4t silmiin. Silmien sanotaan olevan sielun peili joten niihin onkin kiinnitetty varsin paljon huomiota jo Antiikin Egyptist\u00e4 l\u00e4htien.

\nVuoden 1922 Kauneudenkirja kertoo silmien l\u00e4\u00e4kitsemisest\u00e4 seuraavaa:<\/p>\n

\n

On olemassa kaksi l\u00e4\u00e4keainetta, joita k\u00e4ytet\u00e4\u00e4n, kun tahdotaan joko laajentaa tai supistaa silm\u00e4ter\u00e4\u00e4. Ne ovat atropiini ja eseriini. Jos nyt kerran naisella on silm\u00e4t, niin tietysti h\u00e4n tahtoo saada ne mahdollisimman kauniiksi ja ilmehikk\u00e4iksi. Ja silloin h\u00e4n luonnollisesti joko tummentaa luomien reunat tai suurentaa silm\u00e4ter\u00e4t. J\u00e4lkimm\u00e4isen tempun h\u00e4n suorittaa siten, ett\u00e4 h\u00e4n tiputtaa silm\u00e4\u00e4n atropiinia, jota samoin kuin morfiiniakin monessa paikassa, etenkin ulkomailla myyd\u00e4\u00e4n hyv\u00e4\u00e4n hintaan kenelle tahansa. Mutta silm\u00e4 ei sied\u00e4 t\u00e4t\u00e4 j\u00e4rjet\u00f6nt\u00e4 atropiinik\u00e4sittely\u00e4. Se hyvin helposti, jopa varmasti, sokenee.<\/p>\n

Kauneudenkirja, Tri Georg Merzbach, 1922<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Atropiini eli belladonna, oli eritt\u00e4in suosittu kauneusrutiini etenkin 1700-luvulla, mutta sen k\u00e4ytt\u00f6\u00e4 on ilmeisesti jatkettu viel\u00e4 1900-luvun alussakin. Monien muiden oireiden lis\u00e4ksi belladonna edisti viherkaihin eli glaukooman syntymist\u00e4 ja sit\u00e4kautta sokeutumista kuten Kauneudenkirjakin toteaa. Vaikka vaarat olivat tiedossa niin atropiinia k\u00e4ytettiin siit\u00e4kin huolimatta. Laajentuneita silm\u00e4teri\u00e4 pidettiin puoleensavet\u00e4vin\u00e4 ja kauniita silmi\u00e4 haluttiin korostaa keinolla mill\u00e4 hyv\u00e4ns\u00e4. Irma Andersinin kokoama Kauneuden kirja, vuodelta 1950 sen sijaan suosittaa silmille p\u00e4ivitt\u00e4isi\u00e4 huuhteluhoitoja:<\/p>\n

\n

… jokaisen itsest\u00e4\u00e4n huolehtivan naisen toilettitarpeisiin kuuluu luonnollisesti silm\u00e4kuppi… Silm\u00e4 on huuhdottava kaksi kertaa p\u00e4iv\u00e4ss\u00e4, aamulla unen karkoittamiseksi ja silmien kirkastamiseksi, illalla v\u00e4symyksen ja p\u00f6lyn poistamiseksi. Silm\u00e4t huuhdellaan esim haalealla kamomillateell\u00e4, joka on hyvin siivil\u00f6ity, tai haalealla suolavedell\u00e4, tai haalealla boorivedell\u00e4, mutta se saattaa helposti kuivattaa luomet, mink\u00e4 t\u00e4hden on hyv\u00e4 rasvata ne silm\u00e4kylvyn j\u00e4lkeen.<\/p>\n

Kauneuden kirja, Irma Andersin, 1950<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Itselt\u00e4ni sattumoisin moinen silm\u00e4kuppi l\u00f6ytyy, mutta k\u00e4yt\u00e4n sit\u00e4 ripsien kestov\u00e4rj\u00e4yksen yhteydess\u00e4 ripsien huuhteluun, sek\u00e4 silm\u00e4n huuhteluun jos sinne on mennyt roska. Samainen kirja neuvoo poistamaan rasitusta silmist\u00e4 hautomalla silm\u00e4luomia esimerkiksi vaihtokylpymenetelm\u00e4ll\u00e4. Flanellipalaset tai vanutupot kostutetaan l\u00e4mpim\u00e4ss\u00e4 vedess\u00e4 ja pannaan suljetuille silm\u00e4luomille v\u00e4hint\u00e4\u00e4n minuutiksi. Sitten toiset vanut tai flanellipalat upotetaan j\u00e4\u00e4kylm\u00e4\u00e4n veteen ja painetaan silm\u00e4luomille minuutiksi. T\u00e4t\u00e4 jatketaan vuorotellen l\u00e4mpimill\u00e4 ja kylmill\u00e4 hauteilla noin kymmenen minuuttia. Kirja mainitsee my\u00f6skin “vaarattomat kasvisnesteet” joita voidaan pipetill\u00e4 tiputtaa suoraan silm\u00e4\u00e4n niiden puhdistamiseksi ja kirkastamiseksi. Teksti ei kuitenkaan sen tarkemmin erittele mit\u00e4 n\u00e4m\u00e4 kasvisnesteet ovat. Silmien kauneutta kehoitetaan hoitamaan my\u00f6skin ruokavaliolla. Voikukanlehtien, porkkanamehun, sipulin ja kananmunien sanotaan olevan erityisen hyv\u00e4\u00e4 ravintoa silmien terveen\u00e4 pit\u00e4miseksi. Terveytt\u00e4 voi edist\u00e4\u00e4 my\u00f6s silmi\u00e4 voimistelemalla.<\/p>\n

Silm\u00e4ripsille Kauneuden kirja suosittaa ns. tukistusmenetelm\u00e4\u00e4: osa ripsist\u00e4 otetaan etusormen ja peukalon v\u00e4liin ja tukistetaan niit\u00e4 kevyesti. Sama toistetaan kaikille yl\u00e4- ja alaripsille. T\u00e4m\u00e4n j\u00e4lkeen sormenp\u00e4\u00e4 painetaan nen\u00e4npielt\u00e4 vasten jotta siihen tarttuu ihosta luonnollista rasvaa. Sitten sormella sivell\u00e4\u00e4n ripsi\u00e4 tyvest\u00e4 latvoihin, alhaalta yl\u00f6sp\u00e4in, jotta ripset asettuvat halutun kaareviksi. Erilaisten kauneusrutiinien ja silm\u00e4jumppien lis\u00e4ksi k\u00e4ytettiin tietysti my\u00f6s meikkej\u00e4, mutta niist\u00e4 kerron toisella kertaa.<\/p>\n

Suosikkikirjani What every woman should know<\/a>, joka listaa Daily Mailin naisille suunnatun palstan neuvoja 30-luvulta, suosittaa ett\u00e4 aamuisin ennen s\u00e4ngyst\u00e4 nousua silmi\u00e4 pit\u00e4isi jumpata seuraavasti: avaa silm\u00e4t oikein suuriksi, py\u00f6rit\u00e4 silmi\u00e4 nopeasti ensin vasempaan ja sitten oikeaan. Lomalla silm\u00e4t tulee suojata auringolta tummilla laseilla. T\u00e4m\u00e4n lis\u00e4ksi silmi\u00e4 tulee lepuuttaa mahdollisimman paljon ja kylvett\u00e4\u00e4 teekylvyin ainakin kahdesti p\u00e4iv\u00e4ss\u00e4. Silm\u00e4kylvyt tuntuvat todella olleen suosiossa. Mit\u00e4h\u00e4n l\u00e4\u00e4k\u00e4ri niist\u00e4 sanoisi nyky\u00e4\u00e4n? V\u00e4syneille silmille Daily Mailin toimittaja Jeanne de Maury suosittelee kuumaa suolavesihaudetta: liuota teelusikallinen suolaa noin desilitraan kuumaa vett\u00e4, kasta vanulappu veteen ja paina se sitten silm\u00e4luomen p\u00e4\u00e4lle. Vaihda uuteen l\u00e4mpim\u00e4\u00e4n lappuun kun se viilenee. Toista v\u00e4hint\u00e4\u00e4n 10 kertaa ja levit\u00e4 hauteiden j\u00e4lkeen paksulti kosteusvoidetta. Taikap\u00e4hkin\u00e4uute sopii my\u00f6s silm\u00e4hauteeseen v\u00e4syneille silmille.<\/p>\n

\"inenglish\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You can find all sorts of instructions and tips from old beauty books. On the sixteenth post of my Christmas calendar I list some beauty tips for eyes. It is said that eyes are the mirror to the soul so they’ve got lot of attention since the ancient Egypt. More important than make up, were all sort of beauty treatments for eyes. I can’t emphasize enough that no-one should try any of these treatments that involve the actual eyeball and pupil.<\/strong><\/span>
\nBook of beauty from 1922 tells following about medication for eyes:<\/p>\n

There are two medicinal treatments for eyes when dilating or reducing the pupil. Those are atropine and eserine. Once woman has eyes, she surely wants to make them as beautiful and expressive as possible. Then she naturally either darkens the edges of eyelids or dilates the pupils. The latter she does by dropping some atropine into her eyes. You can easily find this, like morfine too, in many places with affordable prices. But eyes can’t tolerate these kind of treatments. It can easily, even surely, go blind.<\/p>\n

Beautybook, Tri Georg Merzbach, 1922<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Atropine, also called belladonna, was very popular beauty routine especially in 1700’s but apparently was also used as late as in the beginning of 1900’s. Among many other symptoms, belladonna caused glaucoma and further on blindness, just like Book of beauty says. Even though the dangers were well known, people continued still using atropine. Dilated pupils were considered attractive and women wanted to highlight beautiful eyes however they could. Beauty book by Irma Andersin from 1950 recommends daily eye rinse treatments:<\/p>\n

… every woman who takes care of themselves properly should have eyecup in their toiletry equipment… Eyes must be rinsed twice a day, in the morning to remove sleep and clearing the eyes, in the evening to remove the dust and tiredness. Eyes are rinsed for example with lukewarm camomille tee, lukewarm salt water,  or lukewarm boric water, but that might dry the eyelids so you should use lotion for them after the rinse.<\/p>\n

Book of beauty, Irma Andersin, 1950<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

By coincident I do have eye cup, but I use it when dyeing lashes to rinse the dye off, and also to rinse the eye in case of dirt in the eye. Same book instructs to remove the tiredness form by “bathing” the eyes with warm and cold. Pieces of flanell or cotton pads are soaked in warm water and then pressed on closed eyelids for about a minute. Then other pads are soaked in icecold water and pressed on eyelids for minute. This is continued changing warm and cold pads for about ten minutes. Book also mentions “harmless vegetable extracts” which can be dropped directly into the eye to make them clean and clear. However text doesn’t really explain what plant extracts are in questions.  Book also advices to take care of your eyes with certain type of food. Dandelion leafs, carrot juice, onions and eggs are said to be especially beneficial food to keep your eyes healthy. You can also maintain the health by exercising your eyes.<\/p>\n

For lashes the Book of beauty recommends following treatment: squeeze small amount of lashes between your first finger and thumb, then gently pull them. Repeat this to all upper and lower lashes. After this press your finger against the base of your nose allowing natural grease from the skin transfer on it. Then brush your lashes with the finger, from base to the tips, in upwards movement to make them curve in the desired way. In addition to all sort of beauty routines and exercises, there were also make up. About those I will write about some other day.<\/p>\n

My favourite book What every woman should know<\/a>, lists 30’s tips for women from Daily Mail. Articles recommend that in the mornings, before getting out of bed you should exercise your eyes by opening them wide and then rotating them rapidly to the left and then to the right. On holiday you should protect your eyes from sunlight with dark glasses. Also resting the eyes as much as possible and bathing them with tea atleast twice a day is recommendable. Eye baths really seemed to have been popular, I wonder what doctor would say about them today? For tired eyes Daily Mail reporte Jeanne de Maury recommends hot saltwater compress: dissolve teaspoon of table salt into hot water, soak cotton pad in the water and then place it on closed eyelids. Replace with another hot pad when it gets cold. Repeat atleast ten times and apply generous amount of cream after compress treatments. Witch-hazel also works as compress treatment for tired eyes.<\/p>\n

Atropine, belladonna<\/strong><\/span> – plant extract from deadly nightshade, used in cosmetics and medication, when dropped into pupils causes visual distortions, increased heart rate and in long term use causes glaucoma
\nBoric water<\/strong><\/span> – very diluted solution of boric acid is antiseptic and can be used as eye rinse, however it is not nowadays recommended directly on pupils, only on skin around the eyes, it is much safer to use readymade eyedrops made for the actual purpose<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
