Does bathing in fresh strawberry juice sound sumptuously sticky? Madame Talien, who was a social figure during the French Revolution, kept her complexion radiant with this messy method of washing!

Twenty-two pounds of crushed strawberries made up the bathwater that went into her tub!

She was arrested and jailed for being the wife of an aristocrat during the French Revolution. Madame flirted her way out of being guillotined. She divorced and became a champion of Liberalism! Maybe strawberries saved her scented neck? I'll stick with my classic bar of Ivory! What kind of soap do you use?
