There are no advanced anti-aging tools and techniques now, but for some reason, we continue to study with interest the sometimes very strange beauty secrets of stars of past eras.
Today we will talk about the film star of the 1950s Marilyn Monroe and her unusual ways of dealing with the inevitable aging.
Did you know that 1950s sex symbol Marilyn Monroe never wore pantyhose, stockings, and underwear offset? Just think, you will surely notice, that many ordinary people also prefer to do without these wardrobe items in order to always feel freedom in the body.
Only now the famous blonde did not wear underwear, not because it fettered and brought discomfort. Marilyn had her reasons for this. The film star was convinced that the rejection of panties, bras, and Capron prolongs her youth.
Monroe presented an iron argument: the female body simply needs constant free access to air. Otherwise, the skin very quickly becomes flabby and wrinkled. Fearing this terrible prospect, the cult actress went around lingerie stores for a kilometer, and wore stockings, lace bodysuits, and corsets only for photoshoots and filming in movies.
Marilyn had a few more iron beauty rules, which now may seem crazy to many. According to rumors, the star washed her face 15 times a day, but at the same time intensively moisturized her skin with simple Vaseline, alternating it with olive oil. Sunbathing was a strict taboo for the film star. Monroe believed that tanning not only ages the skin but also gives it a non-aristocratic shade.
The actress paid special attention to hair care. They say it came to fanaticism: Marilyn could comb her blond curls 50 times a day. The star lived with the firm belief that this ritual stimulates hair growth and gives them fantastic volume.
Marilyn’s figure was helped by a special nutrition system that she developed, taking into account the needs of her body. The actress never made a cult of food: sometimes she could only eat a piece of meat and an apple all day, and at one time she preferred to drink only her favorite orange juice.
“I don’t attach much importance to food and I hate restaurants – there are a lot of people there,” the actress admitted.
Marilyn also had her own relationship with sports. In the gym and jogging, she did not perform feats, but she constantly did stretching exercises, exercised, and danced. A miracle trick helped Marilyn to develop her signature walk: every morning she clamped an empty soda bottle between her ankles and walked around her apartment like that for half an hour.
