Renée Taylor Reveals A Bizarre Vaseline-Based Beauty Tip That Marilyn Monroe Swore By

Back in the day, people were utilizing any beauty tip they possibly could. We’ve heard some pretty bizarre ones, but this one that Marilyn Monroe swore by might just take the cake! Oscar-nominated grande dame Renée Taylor talks about how wonderful Marilyn’s skin always was and reveals the one beauty tip she had to keep it so soft and glowing.

“Marilyn Monroe had the most luminous skin I ever saw,” Taylor says. “She came into class with Lee Strasberg one day and I just had to ask what she did. Marilyn told me, ‘I rub my entire body down with Vaseline and then get into a three-hour hot bath every morning. It gives my skin a shiny glow.’ So I tried that. I almost drowned.”
