Queen Esther was chosen out of many women to be the new queen via a beauty pageant of sorts. The Bible mentions the preparations she underwent prior to being presented to the king. This is one area of the Bible where biblical beauty secrets are clearly revealed. In Esther 2:8-9 it says, “When the king's order and edict had been proclaimed, many girls were brought to the citadel of Susa and put under the care of Hegai. Esther 2:12 it continues, “Before a girl's turn came to go in to King Xerxes, she had to complete twelve months of beauty treatments prescribed for the women, six months with oil of myrrh and six with perfumes and cosmetics.”
Myrrh was a big biblical beauty secret it seems. It is believed that this myrrh oil was massaged daily into the skin (possibly with olive oil). Myrrh oil is said to be extremely moisturizing, toning, healing, and rejuvenating. Today's substitute should be the use of a non-processed moisturisers such as shea butter or coconut oil, keeping it as natural and organic as biblical times. This helps to preserve the skin's natural oils, prevent stretch marks and premature ageing of the skin.
