Is there beauty without pain, suffering, and a high price? Probably not, and I'm sure you've all heard the saying that beauty requires suffering. You may not be the martyr type, but I'm sure there's almost no person who hasn't suffered something (painful) for beauty at least once.

Maybe you spent your entire salary on anti-wrinkle cream? Pierced afghanistan whatsapp list ears even though you're terrified of needles? Wore high heels even though your feet hurt? Went outside without socks even though it was cold? Slept with curlers so you could have a nice hairdo in the morning?

And what about waxing? Plucking eyebrows? Wearing heavy earrings? Applying makeup at 6 am? Cleansing your face? Masks? Creams and all the other beauty rituals that take up time, money, and often cause us pain?

Many people think that the times we live in are to blame for unrealistic beauty standards that are almost impossible to meet, especially considering that many are the result of expensive plastic surgery and Photoshop.

However, the fact is that every era carries with it certain standards of beauty and that beauty always required sacrifice. What follows are just some examples of old Hollywood beauty rituals that were believed in and adhered to by the stars of that era, as well as by those who worshipped those stars and viewed them as role models and influencers of the time.

How to get facial contours like Joan Crawford? So you pull out your teeth. Crawford was so obsessed with her face and contours that she had most of her back teeth removed to make her cheekbones more prominent, and her agent recommended it, advising her that it was the only option if she wanted to work past the age of 25.

Joan also had an interesting beauty ritual that she did every week. After steaming her face for a while to open up her pores, she would apply a thick layer of mask to her face, put boric acid compresses on her eyes, and put on her favorite relaxing music.
