The new episode of History Lessons with Tamara Eidelman is dedicated to the history of cosmetics — how cosmetics have changed (or not changed) over the centuries, what cosmetics meant in ancient Egypt or the Middle Ages, how they were connected with the attitude to cleanliness, with medicine, with prestige and beauty criteria. Any use of cosmetics is a certain message that a person sends to everyone around him. The task of historians is to decipher these messages. *** ADVERTISEMENT: SberClass is a modern digital platform for schools.
