Personal
hygiene left much room for improvement. As a result, 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.'
