Cosmetic products popular in ancient times

Archaeological excavations in the ancient city of Antandros in the northwestern province of Balıkesir, where work has been continuing for 16 years, have revealed a number of ancient shops which sold cosmetics, indicating that women have been interested in such products for millennia. 

The adjacent shops were unearthed as the works neared an end in the ancient city.
