THE STORY ERNO LASZLO NEW YORK
ERNO LASZLO also known as the “Mistro of the skin” believed in beauty from within and was a man of firsts. He should be known by all skincare professionals and enthusiasts.
Dr.Laszlo developed the concept of a “ritual” skincare routine with prescriptions for his clients. He also introduced cleansing oils and bars as the “double cleanse” method we know of today. This is just scratching the surface of all his accomplishments.
In 1927 Dr. Laszlo not only opened up his first institute in Budapest, but he also helped cure Princess Stephanie of Hungary acne. He did this by using his bespoke formulation treatment Phormula 3-1. It was in the 1930s when he introduced the importance of using two steps for cleansing of the face. A method that is still taught to every studying Esthetician. First cleanse to remove the grime, oil, and makeup from the day and a cleansing bar to stimulate and rejuvenate the face.
Erno Laszlo became a staple skincare line for all those on the silver screen including:
Audrey Hepburn
Jackie Onassis
Marilyn Monroe
Greta Garbo
Katharine Hepburn
Grace Kelly
Marilyn Monroe was head over heels for Dr. Laszlo. He was able to heal a scar on her stomach and give her that signature on-screen glow. Actually Phormula 3-8 was created for Monroe to give her that luster and is still a coveted product of today. Marilyn Monroe is even quoted by saying,
Erno Laszlo not only heals my skin, but he soothes my soul.
