Yosef Karo

“ A bride who happens to come into mourning during the 30 days from the time of the chuppah is permitted to adorn herself even during the 7 days. A post-pubescent woman who happens to come into mourning, because she is waiting to get married [i.e. she is at the matchmaking stage of life] is permitted to apply eye makeup and rouge but is prohibited in washing in hot water all of her body. A young girl who is mourning is forbidden even in applying eye makeup and rouge. ”

“ In what way is anointing prohibited? It is forbidden to rub with oil, anything whatsoever, if one intends [anointing] for enjoyment. But if it is to remove scum, it is permitted. And it is not even necessary to say that because of health, too, [it is permitted] , for example when he has boils on his head. ”

“ A woman who has given birth and is in mourning, when she needs to wash, it is permitted. And thus for one who has scabs on his head, it is permissible to wash his head in hot water, for he is no worse than an istnis (meaning someone whose body is cold and gets cold) , for whom it is permissible to wash all his body. ”
