Marilyn Monroe's Strange Beauty Secrets
Her first husband, Jim Dougherty, recalls that she used to rinse her face fifteen times after every wash.
At times she would smear Vaseline, cold cream, or hormone cream over her face.
When not wearing makeup, she would apply lanolin or olive oil to her face as a protecting agent.
She would sometimes take ice baths, prepared by her masseur, Ralph Roberts, into which she would add Chanel No. 5.
She told photographer Bert Stern in 1962 that she always used Nivea Skin Moisturizing Lotion.
