'Sunbathing No Good To Complexions’
(New Zealand Press Association) AUCKLAND, April 11. An Austrian beauty specialist thinks Australian women have “the most dehydrated complexions I have ever seen.” Their skin often resembled a well-grilled pork chop, he said in Auckland yesterday.
The specialist is Baron von Muhr, aged 28, who has just spent several weeks in Australia. He said the sun was to blame for Australian women’s complexions. Sunbathing was the worst thing a woman could do if she wanted a good complexion. England's high rainfall produced the “English rose” complexion. Too many women expected their cosmetics to work a miracle unaided. “The secret of a complexion is hard work. Money can
provide only part of the answer,” he said. “I am the black sheep of the family,” added the Baron. He became a beauty specialist instead of devoting himself to his 400-acre estate and his sawmill near Vienna. He studied skin care for five years at the University of Vienna, and today is senior make-up artist for a leading cosmetics firm. “I wanted to get out into the world and do something for myself, not live on what I inherited from my grandparents,” he said.
