ForHisGlory Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 I always wondered where that term derived from. Ran across this today and thought some would be interested - or not. lol! Hope I put this on the right thread location. Smallpox was a big problem in our not too distant past and many people who survived the disease carried small, ugly scars on their face.Women would often melt a little beeswax to cover the pockmarks on their faces. As the weather warmed up the wax would often start to melt. It was extremely rude to tell a lady she needed to freshen up her face. Those who did so were often rebuked to "mind your own beeswax!"http://www.immortalfloral.com/purity.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkpk Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Who knew? Kind of gross though, thinking about women walking around with wax on their face. I wax my eyebrows and it grosses me out, but my 5 and 3 year olds love it when look like a "monster". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
