Apparently women have been concerned about looking beautiful for a lot longer than we thought. Italian archeologists have shown as much with a recent discovery in a tomb that is more than 2,000 years old. According to reports, they found a cosmetics kit with lotion that was for the most part undamaged.

Erika Ribechini, a researcher in the chemistry department at Pisa University was quoted as saying of the substance, “… The lipid was a vegetable oil, most likely moringa oil, which was used by the Egyptians and Greeks to produce ointments and perfumes.”

Now if a similar discovery is made in a man’s tomb they might just give metrosexuals like Ryan Seacrest a break.
