What did the royal beauty treatments(in the Bible) consist of that Esther undertook prior to meeting the King?

Book of Esther Chapter 2 v9-12





Hegai liked Esther, and she won his favor. He lost no time in beginning her beauty treatment of massage and special diet. He gave her the best place in the harem and assigned seven girls specially chosen from the royal palace to serve her.


Now, on the advice of Mordecai, Esther had kept it secret that she was Jewish. Every day Mordecai would walk back an forth in front of the courtyard of the harem, in order to find out how she was getting along and what was going to happen to her.


The regular beauty treatment for the women lasted a year--massages with oil of myrrh for six months and with oil of balsam of sic more.





So your answer is special diet , daily massage with oil of myrrh
