Facial
Thanks BS
Answer
:
In
medieval times,
personal hygiene was not a priority.
Therefore,
many
women and
men had developed acne scars by adulthood.
The
women would
spread
bee's wax over their facial skin to smooth out their complexions.
When
they were
speaking
to each other, if a woman began to stare at another woman's face she
was told, 'mind your own bee's wax.'
Should
the woman
smile,
the wax would crack, hence the term 'crack a smile'.
In
addition, when
they
sat too close to the fire, the wax would melt.
Therefore,
the
expression
'losing
face.'
