Does the Queen of England really have blue blood in her veins? Aristocrats and people with aristocratic ancestors in Europe are said to have blue blood. But of course, the Queen's blood is just as red as her gardener's blood. However, the term ”blue blood“ was originally meant literally. The Spaniards were the first to speak of ”blue-blooded poeple“ in the Middle Ages. During that epoch, a pale complexion was considered particularly elegant. Even then, most Spaniards had a deeper tanned skin than the people of Northern and Central Europe. However, many Spanish noble families had Nordic influences in their family trees. That is why princes were often paler by birth than their subjects. To preserve their elegant paleness Spanish nobles avoided the sun as well as they could. And the paler the skin, the bluer the lower veins looked. No wonder that the farmers were convinced that their monarchs had blue blood. Responsible for this perception are the blood vessels, which reflect the short-wave blue color component of the daylight. Since at the same time the long-wave red color portion is absorbed, the veins shimmer blue through the skin.
From the early 19th century, the term ”blue-blooded“ was used rather mockingly in German-speaking countries. Especially city dwellers and students used it for jokes at the expense of the (rural) nobility. However, the pale complexion was still considered elegant - even in middle-class families. Brown weathered skin was associated with sailors, farmers and tramps. In order to differentiate themselves visually as clearly as possible, the upper class hid every inch of skin under fabric. They never left their homes without gloves, a hat and an umbrella. Clothes were worn even on the beach and for bathing. In order to look even paler, some citizens took drastic measures. They tried tinctures, bleaches or phlebotomies. It was not until the turn of the century that a rethinking took place. During the 20th century, the ideal of beauty changed. From then on tanned skin was considered as vital, youthful and desirable.
Today nobody has to try dangerous bleaches anymore on their skin. Nevertheless, our skin is exposed to significantly more stress than it was 100 years ago. Exhaust gases and dry heating air stress the skin as much as solarium visits, dehydration, a one-sided nutrition, environmental influences, permanent stress, nicotine consumption and excessive alcohol consumption. In order to support the skin in its important task as a protective barrier of the body, one can do a lot. Sufficient sleep, enough liquid intake and a conscious diet are a good basis. In addition, one should also care for the skin appropriately. Choosing the right care products is especially important for people with sensitive skin.
