The iconic curly blonde hair, bright red lips, and the bumpy figure, mentioning these three iconic figures makes people think of Marilyn Monroe.
She represents the aesthetics of an era, and even to this day, she still has her place among the sexiest female stars who take stock.
Not tanned, focus on sun protection, away from the sun
For Europeans and Americans, fair skin is not a thing worthy of praise. For high society, your skin is bronze, which proves that you are rich, because you have enough time to go to the beach and go on vacation, and fair skin may prove that you are just doing work that cannot see the sun.
Marilyn Monroe did the opposite, not only maintaining her fair and delicate skin, but also paying great attention to sun protection, because her blonde hair only looks harmonious with white skin.
She said: "My complexion and hair make my whole body look sparkling. ”
Monroe's signature blonde hair color has an exclusive title – "Pillow White".
In many photos of Monroe, everyone sees the white to glowing hair, and even when she is fragrant and jade damaged, it is also left with this hair color, and many people mistakenly think that this is the hair color born in the dream air.
Actually, no, Monroe's hair color is light brown.
However, the concept of blonde beauty has become deeply rooted in people's minds, so in order to make everyone remember her and maintain that hair color, she has to bleach and dye every three weeks, and has a unique name - "pillow white".
Because her hue is as white as a pillow, and to avoid washing her hair too often, she washes off the color, Monroe likes to use Johnson & Johnson's Baby Powder as a dry hair spray, which is applied every two days to keep her hair fresh.
Monroe did not perform lip augmentation surgery, but used makeup techniques to make her lips look fuller
Many people think that Monroe has had a lip augmentation surgery, but in fact, Monroe only has a small nose, and her plump lips are actually achieved by makeup techniques. According to her makeup artist, Monroe will use up to 5 different red shades of lipstick, using the technique of outer depth and inner light to create the fullness and three-dimensionality of the lips.
Monroe sleeps at least 5 hours a day and even sleeps in bed for two hours on weekends
As a big star, Monroe's schedule is very busy, but she also enjoys sleep, and must ensure 5 hours of sleep every day.
Of course, if she worked a little less, or even no work, she could sleep 10 hours. In an interview with the magazine, she added: "On Sundays I even have to lie in bed for 2 hours to really wake up and enjoy the last moment in bed." ”
Wear only Chanel NO.5 perfume to sleep
Presumably, many people have heard of the connection between Chanel No.5 perfume and Monroe, thinking that this is the propaganda of Chanel company.
In fact, it is true that Monroe does not like to wear clothes when she sleeps, sleeps naked, she thinks that wearing pajamas will disturb her sleep, the only thing she wears on her body is Chanel No.5 perfume, and even when she bathes, she will drip it in the bathtub for bathing.
Monroe loves to take a cold shower, which can firm the skin
This is a small trick for Monroe to keep her skin firm, and she has been taking cold baths since she was young to keep her skin firm. It was very avant-garde at the time.
Of course, there are now many scholars who have studied, in fact, taking a cold shower once in a while is better for the body.
Monroe and Hepburn share a dermatologist
Monroe and Hepburn were both valued guests of Hungarian dermatologist Erno Laszlo, and later, the dermatologist launched his own eponymous brand, Erno Laszlo, Chinese better known to everyone, Olenain.
Monroe is said to wash her face at least five times a day to prevent her skin from getting pimples because her skin is so dry.
Dr. Erno Laszlo has set up a strict skincare routine for Monroe, which requires oil to cleanse the facial skin at night, moisturizing cleansing oil from Olena, and then applying its classic signature, tofu cream, to moisturize the skin.

Monroe also likes to use some civilian skin care brands
In fact, Monroe's era has emerged a lot of big skin care brands, like chanel mentioned earlier, like Olena. But she also uses some civilian skin care brands, and many skin care concepts are still used.
For example, the popular foundation is preceded by a layer of primer or moisturizing cream.
Monroe used this method as early as that era, she would apply a layer of Petroleum Jelly base before the foundation liquid, and make a moisturizing cream to make the subsequent makeup more convincing.
In addition, she will also use Elizabeth Arden's eight-hour cream and Nivea's cream, which are very civilian brands.
She even oils the skin as a moisturizing method, and the concept of nourishing the skin with oil is many years earlier than now.
It is rumored that when Monroe's skin is very dry, she will apply olive oil to the skin and massage and absorb it, so that the skin will not dry and crack.
Monroe doesn't like exercise, but breast lifting will definitely be done.
As we all know, Monroe is very plump, but there is no extra flesh on the body. Although she can't move regularly because of her work, she must keep the curves of her breasts looking extremely tight.
For example, every morning when she gets up, she will hold two 5-pound dumbbells in her hand and hold her hand straight above her head for 15 minutes, until her hands are sore and swollen.
Although Monroe does not like sports, she has a beautiful curve, probably for this reason.
