Cleopatra, the Queen of Beauty, was legendary for her use of beauty products which were made from fruits, vegetables, eggs, goats milk, sesame seeds, barley, honey, oils and herbs.

Cleopatra also used sesame oil or olive oil, which remamed on the skin for twenty minutes and was then scraped off with a spatula.
