Jackie Kennedy is still known as a fashion icon, and a standard for the American Beauty during the years of the American Renaissance in the 60s.
Now, newly displayed documents from the Dr Erno Laszlo Institute, on display at the NYC Makeup Museum, reveals that the former first lady has had her own share of skincare problems, which was helped by specialists, creating a set beauty routine for her. The notes, dating back to May 1, 1963, is a document scripting a personal formula, even being offered to JFK himself as well. A very notable point is that six months after this note was transferred to Jackie, the JFK murder happened.
