Not just 100yrs before the Reformation , try 1000yrs before and emphasis on "white pale skin" in Roman culture . If there ever was a "Jesus" he's not gaining much saving your ignorant soul , don't you want to have some understanding of the world before you arrive at the pearly gates or are you just going to show up a witless moron ? Cosmetics in Ancient Rome en.wikipedia.org Roman Skin Care Pure white skin, a demarcation of the leisure class, was the most important feature of Roman beauty. [7] Native Roman women weren’t naturally fair-skinned and spent their time outside with oils on their faces, requiring whitening makeup to fit their model of beauty. [13] Women would often prepare their faces with beauty masks prior to applying makeup. One recipe called for the application of sweat from sheep's wool to the face before bedtime, [14] emitting a stench often criticized by men. [15] Other ingredients included juice, seeds, horns, excrement, [16] honey, plants, placenta, marrow, vinegar, bile, animal urine, sulfur, vinegar, [6] eggs, myrrh, incense, frankincense, [17] ground oyster shells, [18] onions with poultry fat, white lead, and barley with vetch. Bathing in asses’ milk was an expensive treatment that worked like a chemical peel and was used by wealthy women such as Cleopatra VII and Poppaea Sabina. [19]
