MANILA, Philippines - Women the world over look up to iconic beauties for their flawless looks and go through various measures to achieve them. For the ultimate in skinspiration, Filipinas can take a cue from Egypt’s Queen Cleopatra, who has famously set the standards for regal beauty.
One of ancient history’s legendary female rulers, Cleopatra was widely regarded for both her stature and appearance. Depicted as a strikingly beautiful queen, Cleopatra was said to have used her beauty to gain power, seducing rival rulers Julius Caesar and Mark Antony.
It is commonly known that the iconic beauty relied on minerals from the Dead Sea, her utmost beauty secret that lent radiance to her already regal appeal. Cleopatra herself went to great lengths to convert the Dead Sea into her very own natural spa, as the minerals further enhanced her looks.
Dead Sea mud, in particular, contains minerals like zinc, magnesium, and potassium that are beneficial in developing healthy skin cells and eliminating bacteria and excess oil.
Fortunately, women don’t have to travel far to obtain the beauty must-have for themselves. With Jericho Cosmetics, modern-day women can use the same solution in their beauty regimen.
Featuring Dead Sea mineral-based skincare products, Jericho Cosmetics’ organic and time-tested ingredients are unmatched in quality and unparalleled in its effects.
