The excessive use of cosmetics was seen by some Romans quite skeptical. Because the cosmetics in ancient times was a part of medicine. The Roman doctor Galen of Pergamum founded the scientific branch of the preparation of pharmaceutical preparations and cosmetics. Popular with the personal care, however, were shaving, hair removal and hair accessories of the traditional Roman women.
