More recently, you can find a plethora of skin care items that claim to reduce wrinkles and increase skin vibrancy through new methods and findings, but what did people of the past use?

ASEA created an infographic with the following information about skin care tips from history:

• The people of England found that egg yolk, honey, and oatmeal could be used to soften the skin, that lemon juice could bleach it, and parasols would protect it from the sun. They found this in 1837.
