International Skin & Body Care grew out of my love for Spas,

World Travel, Education, The Beauty Business, and a Quest for "The Secret" of Beautiful Skin. As a 3-year-old, I loved going to the Beauty Parlor with Mommy. At 6 my mother took me to a spa in Cuba to soak in a private mineral bath. In Baden Baden Germany when I was 12, I discovered what "Taking the Waters" was all about and became fascinated with the Spa Life. When I was 19, Japanese baths and massages introduced me to a different life style than we had in the west. And trips to Hot Water Cures all over the United States sparked in me a quest for health.

During the 1940s and 50s Glamour Days of Hollywood, I longed to learn "The Secret" of the Movie Stars’ beautiful skin. People "in the business" knew that ladies from Hungary mixed up strange concoctions in their kitchens and used them on the Movie Stars. I asked one of the Hungarian ladies for her "Secret," but of course then she forgot how to speak English.

After my graduation from Hollywood High School, my quest for "The Secret" intensified. I graduated from Beauty School. I still didn’t know "The Secret." In Tokyo, Paris and London I learned about beauty but still didn’t find "The Secret." So off to Cal Poly University in San Luis Obispo I went to study Dietetics. Still "The Secret" eluded me. Marriage, children, study, more study came along, but no answer. Degrees in Art and English hung on the wall, but the answer wasn’t in my head. Owning a beauty shop, directing a beauty school, teaching High School English were all wonderful, but still I wanted to know "The Secret."

Then I met the eminent Dermatologist and Pharmacist, Dr. Howard Murad. He gave me a jar of cream and asked me to try it. The first day that I used the cream I realized that I had discovered "The Secret to Beautiful Skin."

Since 1990 I have studied hydrotherapy, bodywork, and skin care in Turkey, the Czech Republic, China, Italy, England, Wales, and Russia. This explains the name, International Skin & Body Care. I long to give each person the wonderful Spa experiences that I have enjoyed.
