10 Insane Vintage Beauty Tips from Arlene Dahl /Love Facials?!

Happy New Year lovelies Since Arlene Dahl recently passed away, I wanted to share some vintage beauty tips from her beauty books. 1. Consume a bottle of wine every day (if you want to lose weight). Dahl's "Happy Diet" consists of a bottle of wine per day, four eggs, a teeny-tiny steak, half a head of lettuce (Bibb or limestone — don't cheat with romaine or iceberg! ), and lemon if you have a sweet tooth — which sounds like the ideal recipe for eradicating hunger pangs because you'll be passed out all day. "A psychiatrist who now specializes in weight reduction," Dahl says of her weight-loss guidance. 2. Consume bone meal. This plant fertilizer and pet nutritional supplement, sometimes known as "bone manure," is one of the superfoods Dahl advises. (There are no calories!) She admits that you have to deceive yourself into eating it by mixing it with juice, but it does sound better than some of her other diet meal options, such as cooked lettuce (a head of iceberg serves four) and jellied borscht. 3. Always seek advice from a man. This suggestion, which appears to negate Dahl's whole output, is the title of his first beauty book. It doesn't matter. "I found that men are considerably more objective when it comes to analyzing a woman's attractiveness," she says, because he appears to be incompatible with a particular taste or point of view. 4. Use a man's, er, egg whites to moisturize your face. Dahl mentions names on almost every page, but she won't say which females are getting the "love facial," which she describes as "the most beautifying facial of all." Weekly semen treatments, according to Dahl, are responsible for the "legendary complexions" of "history's leading courtesans and today's most recognized women." She advises, "Let it dry and firm on your skin." "Rinse with lukewarm water and examine yourself in the mirror after a time (don't rush!)." In fact, take a long look in the mirror since this is an excellent moment to evaluate when and how your life went off the rails. Oh, and avoid getting any of it in your eyes because ocular herpes is a real thing. 5. Use Champagne to wash your hair.
