Video Description

Throughout history, beauty has always come with a price—and sometimes, that price was very strange. From powdered poisons to bizarre lotions and painful rituals, women have gone to incredible lengths to meet the beauty ideals of their time. In this episode of Strange History for Sleep, we’ll explore: The strangest beauty tricks from ancient to Victorian times Why women risked their health for fashion and status The ingredients behind “miracle” powders and potions How beauty standards reveal the hidden pressures of each era This isn’t just a story about vanity—it’s about the human desire to belong, to be admired, and to find meaning in appearance. So dim the lights, get cozy, and drift back through time to discover how far people have gone in the name of beauty. If you love uncovering the fascinating (and sometimes absurd) side of history, don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share before you drift off to sleep. #StrangeHistory #HistoryForSleep #BeautyHistory #WeirdHistory #WomensHistory
