This Was Marilyn Monroe's Exact Skincare Routine, and Yes, You Can Still Shop It

Laszlo's exact instructions: "Wash face and neck in warm water with Active Phelityl Soap in the following manner: fill basin with warm water, wet face and neck, and rub on soap, making a lather. Make a separate lather in hands and rub well into the skin. Rinse thoroughly in the same soapy water and dry with a towel."

Laszlo's exact instructions: "Apply well-shaken Normalizer Shake-It on entire face—except around the eyes—with a large piece of cotton saturated to the dripping point. Blot off with tissue immediately."

Laszlo's exact instructions: "Dab Duo-Phase Face Powder amply on entire face and neck; after one minute, brush off superfluous powder with a large piece of cotton."

Editor's note: Though the Laszlo powder Monroe used has since been discontinued, this option from By Terry features the same starring ingredient, hyaluronic acid.

First, it's worth noting that Laszlo had separate evening instructions for Monroe depending on what she had on tap for the night. Before "dressing," for instance, Laszlo directed the actress to follow her same morning routine. For "formal occasions," he said to blot off Shake-It and apply Phelitone on top of it on the entire face—including under the eyes and on the neck and décolleté—blot it off with tissues, and then top it off with the Duo-Phase Face Powder. Below is his skincare prescription for Monroe before "retiring" to bed.

Laszlo's exact instructions: "Apply Active Phelityl Oil on entire face, lips, and neck with a large piece of cotton saturated to the dripping point. Wash immediately oily face and neck according to the instructions for 'Morning.'"

Laszlo's exact instructions: "After drying, apply Active Phelityl Cream on entire face, lips, neck, and décolleté. Wash off cream immediately with a large piece of cotton saturated to the dripping point with well-shaken Controlling Lotion, except around eyes and on the lips where you shall blot cream off with tissues."

Laszlo's exact instructions: "Dry face and neck with towel. Reapply on nose and chin with another thoroughly saturated large piece of cotton, covering thickly, and let dry on overnight."
