Hardy picked up a bottle of moisturizer and asked, "Did you say these were developed by you?"
Mrs. Lauder nodded, then shook her head, "Not entirely. Initially, it was researched by my uncle. My uncle is a dermatologist, and he noticed that some patients skin was particularly prone to dehydration and cracking, losing its luster, so he developed a skincare cream."
"I also have dry skin. My uncle used it on me and it worked very well. That inspired me to make moisturizing creams. When I went to college, I chose to study chemistry and dermatology."
"Around 1930, I started to make skin cream full time. At first, I sold it to friends around me or took it to salon parties. My friends all thought the results were good. Later, we made some profits and invested in new research, leading to several other products."
