EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph from 1933, titled "Assist the Remedies of Nature: Removal of Superfluous Hair," offers a glimpse into the beauty rituals and treatments popular among women during the 1930s. In this image, a woman sits in a comfortable chair, her eyebrows raised in concentration as an assistant applies a warm mixture of paraffin and shellac to her eyebrows. The apparatus used in this process includes a small metal container filled with the molten wax-like substance, a pair of tweezers, and a piece of cloth. The purpose of this treatment was to shape and define eyebrows, as well as remove any unwanted hairs. The paraffin and shellac mixture was applied to the eyebrows and allowed to cool and harden before being peeled off, taking the unwanted hairs with it. This method was believed to provide a smooth, clean, and polished look, enhancing the natural beauty of the face. The 1930s were a time when women placed great importance on their appearance, and various methods for hair removal were in high demand. This photograph captures the intimacy and personal nature of the beauty treatment, as well as the role of the assistant in helping women achieve their desired look. The use of natural remedies, such as paraffin and shellac, added to the allure of these treatments, which were often marketed as being gentle and effective. This image is a fascinating reminder of the lengths women went to in order to maintain their beauty and vanity during the 1930s, and the role of assistants and treatments in shaping the way women viewed themselves and their bodies.
