In high society, taking care of urself was stil highly praised I think back then it was even bigger in both men and women rather then more so women which it is nowadays
aaaaactually
its the opposite lol , the people back then were unhygienic af
bruh my entire comment deleted (or maybe my browser is trippin). lemme reiterate that europe was a NASTY NASTY PLACE where “looking clean” mattered more than “being clean” for nobles. very rarely did they actually bathe, it was more “oh just douse yourself in a perfumed oil n ignore the dermatitis” why do you think the indigenous people of the lands conquered by europe suffered from diseases? because the europeans were FUCKIN RANK.
there’s a reason why the vikings (who bathed regularly) were soooo attractive to european women.
Thank you, a well informed comment. "Colour correction" really wasn't a thing back then. They caked on WHITE powder made from bleaches, lead or lye and wigs (full of lice ofc) to hide the dermatological problems.
What is it with all this skin care shiss in the last few chapter? Aren't we in the European middle ages? Author-san, your manhwa is not set in current time South Korea, is it...
