Cosmetics and perfumes have been popular since the dawn of civilization. Yet in these days and times a certain standard for beauty has been set, a set image and style. If you don’t fit into that category of beauty, then you are considered ugly. This is why so many Nubians put on too much make up and Perm (which is not really permanent so you have to keep getting it done over and over again) or relax your kingly crown (9 ether hair).

You put on fake nails, fake eyelashes and even alter the structure of your faces by cosmetically or surgically thinning your nose and lips to make yourselves over in the image other than self and kind.

You have natural beauty, so the only reason you need to wear make up is to enhance your beauty as your ancestors (the Africans, Tamaraians, Khamites, Kemites, Egiptians}). Your self-esteem has been brought so low that you believe (Be-Lie-Eve – Meaning ‘to lie to Eve’s children’) that it is necessary to wear make up everyday or permanently change or alter the structure of your face. Your different hues, your eyes, your lips and your nose are what the creator gave you to make you beautiful. You do not need make up to bring out color. You do not have to ‘make up’ anything. You enhance the Goddess/Deity in you.

Our way of wearing cosmetics and preserving beauty from your ancestors was stolen. The Khamites wore make up to enhance and preserve their feminine and masculine beauty. Before Queen Nefertiti married Akhenaton, she was his make up artist, bet you didn't’t you know that. (smile)

The Khamites (Egiptians) were well know for their knowledge in the refined art of cosmetics. By using natural elements from the planet earth, they were able to make natural cosmetics such as henna and kohl. Now there are many cosmetics on the market manufactured by Corporate America for various other skin types, hair and body, which Nubian people use. However, since your body chemistry and hair texture (9 ether – 7 ether) is different from theirs you should products that are for your skin and hair type.

We can thoroughly go into the different hazardous chemicals found in many popular cosmetics used, which have been found to be carcinogenic (cancerous) to laboratory animals and humans. This is the reason why we recommend that you use natural products. Henna, as previously mentioned, it a natural dye that comes in a variety of colors ranging from red to black, to darken or lighten your hair. Henna comes for the leaves of a shrub called ‘Lawsonia Alba’ also known as ‘Egyptian Privet’ and ‘Jamaica Mignonette’. Khamites (Kemites, Egyptian) women prized the fragrant blossom of this shrub and used henna to display, decorate ornaments on the hands and feet. It is not only used as a dye, but as a medical substance also. It gives the hair a semi permanent protein coating, protecting it from sun damage and air pollution and cleanses the face. It washes out gradually over a 6-month period. For best results, be sure to use 100% pure henna without metallic bases.

Instead of using chemical hair dyes, which strip your hair of its natural oils and minerals and has a lye base, use henna as a natural hair dye.

It is every woman’s desire for a beautiful complexion, and a common phrase is ‘beauty is only skin deep, so we say, have beautiful skin. As a mark of beauty, good skin ranks next to personal cleanliness. There are 5 types of skin (Dry, Oil, Normal Dry, sensitive and combination skin). The proper diet, water and vitamins are essential needs of your skin in order to maintain it’s natural beauty, moisture and softness. Vitamins are obtained through food sources. The food is converted into vitamins through our body.

The skin is self-renewing. Every time you cleanse your skin, dead skin flakes off. Don’t lubricate your skin, or you will clog up the pores, which will lead to black heads, acne etc. After showering, put baby oil into your bath so that it can get into your pours and lubricate your body. Some even say that olive oil is too heavy and will clog your pores. Also, natural Aloe Vera from the plant is good if taken internally and is excellent for medicinal purposes.

Your eyes are very sensitive so if you put foreign objects in them such as dyed eyeliner, it will become irritated. Instead of using eyeliners, which are treated on laboratory animals, you can use natural eye make up and a very good eye cleanser called kohl. Used for centuries by the Khamites (Kemites, Egyptian), and people of many different cultures worldwide. Kohl is burnt frankincense, a natural element that comes in a powdered form and in different colors (brown, black, green, blue, purple, etc). When applying it on an applicator, start at the inner corner of the eyelids and work outwards. Darken to meet your taste. It can also be used to color the eyebrow, eyelashes and to give the lips a more natural appearance.

NOTE: Make sure before you use natural products that you are not allergic to them.

Don’t stop yourself to be lower than who and what you are because you are the rulers of the Planet earth. Be you, Let your beauty shine through and don’t take any interpretation of beauty and staple it to you. Lift the spell of ignorance off you and be yourself again as Goddess, as Deities just as your ancestors were.
