Queen Elizabeth I used to use ceruse, a combination of white lead and vinegar, to paint her face. Despite how appealing these two components appear, you'll be surprised to learn that they are incredibly corrosive and ageing. "Those ladies that use it on their faces, do rapidly become withered and grey haired, for this doth so terribly dry up the naturall moisture of their flesh," one of her contemporaries observed of women who used ceruse. That sounds like a fantastic concept!
