Edwardian Society Women's Beauty Treatments: A Snapshot of Early 20th Century Female Beauty Regimens (1906) The Edwardian era, a period of opulence and elegance in the early 20th century, saw women placing great importance on their appearance. This photograph print from the Illustrated London News Ltd/Mary Evans collection offers a fascinating glimpse into the various beauty treatments society women underwent to maintain their radiance and combat the ravages of the seasons. First, to counteract the weight gained from incessant dining-out, women would regularly take light baths in wooden cabinets. These reducing baths were believed to help shed excess pounds and promote overall well-being. Second, to address discoloration of facial skin, women would sit in front of a radiation blue light. This innovative treatment aimed to even out skin tone and improve complexion. Third, for a rejuvenating experience, magnetic baths were employed. In these sessions, women would lay full length in the bath, surrounded by wires, while therapists sent pulses from a large machine. This therapy was believed to strengthen and provide a life-giving effect. Fourth, if a woman's nose had gone out of fashion, it could be altered to suit her desire through surgical procedures. Fifth, this equipment, designed for electrical massage, helped remove wrinkles and promote a youthful appearance. Sixth, tonics were applied to the cheeks, throat, and neck to give bloom and roundness, ensuring a healthy and vibrant complexion.
