Many consider Princess Diana an icon, and of course, we agree with that! But a little more than 100 years before the eternal Lady Di, a woman who would also revolutionize the world was born. Her name was Elisabeth Amalie Eugenie von Wittelsbach, better known to the people as Empress Sisi of Austria. With an exceptional natural beauty and a personality sometimes considered rebellious for that time, Sisi became a myth. Admired by many, her story won several versions in cinemas, series, theaters, books and songs. Maybe you’ve already watched the Sissi trilogy, from the 50’s, with actress Romy Schneider.
O awesome.club wants to share with you some facts about the life of Elisabeth from Austria, which made her a woman ahead of her time. Come check!
Who was Elisabeth from Austria?
The empress was born on December 24, 1837, in Munich, Germany. Daughter of Duke Maximilian Joseph of Bavaria and his wife Princess Ludovika. Elisabeth, affectionately nicknamed Sisi, was the couple’s third child, her older siblings being Duke Ludwig Wilhelm and Duchess Helene Caroline, also known as Néné. Shy and introverted, Sisi grew up with a lot of freedom and in love with nature.
His aunt, Princess Sophie of Bavaria, mother of the Austrian Emperor Franz Joseph, was looking for a wife for her son. The ideal candidate was Sisi’s older sister Helene. Unlike her younger sister, Néné was educated from an early age to live under the strict protocols of the Vienna court. However, when the young emperor saw the beautiful Sisi – who was 15 years old at the time – it was love at first sight. And to Princess Sophie’s displeasure, Franz and Sisi got married.
Sisi, who was free-natured and grew up to be independent, never got used to the strict rules of court. Before marriage, she was just a simple country girl and in the blink of an eye her whole life changed radically. Furthermore, she was never able to raise three of her four children, on account of her mother-in-law, who did not allow it. Without being able to have her own freedom and aware that her beauty caught everyone’s attention, the empress saw in taking care of her appearance the only way to control something in herself and a way to use it in her favor.
1. In search of a fit body, Sisi had her own gym at home
At 172 cm, weighing a maximum of 50 kg and with a waist of approximately 40 cm, even after four pregnancies, the empress remained in shape due to constant physical exercise. At that time, it was not customary for women to exercise, after all, sweaty women were not well regarded, but Sisi didn’t mind and loved to be on the move. In every castle she lived in, there was a room with gym equipment and mirrored walls. In addition, she did 20 push-ups every morning on rings that hung near the door.
2. He loved being outdoors and his walks took hours
Since her childhood, various sports were part of her lifestyle: swimming, walking and hiking for hours, regardless of the season, which left her ladies-in-waiting exhausted. She rode every day, being the best rider of her time. And at age 50, another sport made her list — fencing, which she practiced with great discipline.
3. To preserve her beauty, she tested numerous products prepared in the court pharmacy or by a lady-in-waiting in her own chambers.
While the cosmetics industry had not yet been created, Sisi relied on homemade formulas and was always on the lookout for new developments in this area. Various concoctions were made based on what she learned from Indian recipes. And for that, she had a private pharmacy to test each creation.
4. Prepared her own face masks, which included raw meat to keep her skin soft
Just as many women currently take care of their skin to prevent or treat wrinkles, the Empress was already aware that it was necessary to prevent their appearance. But as there were not the hundreds of cosmetics that we find today, nor the face masks for beauty, the way was to use what you had, for example: raw meat or crushed strawberries, used as a face mask, after all, both contain antioxidants.
Sisi didn’t wear makeup because she preferred natural beauty, so she took great care of her skin. One of her favorite face creams included sweet almond oil and rose water. In addition, she avoided sleeping with pillows to keep her posture in line and placed a cloth with violet or apple cider vinegar around her waist to keep her thin, as well as wrapping her neck with cloths soaked in special tonics. She took a cold bath every morning, and at night her bath was in olive oil or goat’s milk to make her skin very soft.
5. His long hair was washed with eggs every three weeks
Sisi was in love with her hair, so long it hit her heels. But to keep them always strong and healthy, it took a lot of discipline. They were washed every three weeks with a mixture that included raw eggs. This whole process took a whole day, causing the other appointments to be unscheduled.
6. Just like the satin cap is used nowadays, Sisi already used a silk cloth under her hair, however, in a different process than we know
Lately we see the benefits of silk or satin cloth for hair and skin, being able to be used as caps or pillowcases. In this way, we avoid the dreaded frizz in the hair strands. This boon was not new to Sisi, for when she finished washing her hair, the empress placed a long, waterproof silk cloth on her head and walked up and down with it until her hair was dry.
7. His hair was so long that it took over three hours to comb. During this time, she took the opportunity to study several languages.
The daily hair care regimen could not be accomplished in less than three hours. In fact, the empress was the first person to have a bathroom inside the house, a custom that did not exist at the time, something that shocked society. During this time, Sisi needed to do something not to get bored, and the best way was to study languages: English, French, Greek, Hungarian, in addition to German, her native language.
8. She got an anchor tattoo on her shoulder at age 51
A tattooed royal person in the 19th century? So it is. Sisi loved being in touch with nature and feeling free, so whenever she went out, it was anonymous and disguised. On one of her trips to Greece, the empress entered an establishment where there were several sailors and decided to engrave an anchor tattoo on her left shoulder, demonstrating the love she had for the sea, all at the age of 51. Of course, when her husband, Emperor Franz Joseph, heard about this, he was terrified.
9. Despite a strict diet, Sisi loved to taste violet ice cream, which is still sold today.
Keeping a body always in shape requires a lot of discipline. For Sisi, this factor was crucial, so her diet was extremely strict. So much so that when she traveled, the empress carried her own cow and goat. But one thing she couldn’t resist: the taste of violets, whether candied or ice cream. In fact, the success of this dessert was so great that it is sold in Austria to this day.
10. Just like some celebrities run away from the paparazzi, Sisi also found her own way to run away from the photographers’ flashes
With an extraordinary appearance, Sisi attracted attention wherever she went, becoming a world celebrity in the 19th century. However, even with so much skin care and always looking younger than she was, you can’t control the signs of time. For this reason, from the age of 32, the empress refused to pose for portraits and no longer allowed herself to be photographed, always carrying a fan to hide her face from photographers. Still, her beauty was maintained until the end of her life.
