Skincare Secrets: Elizabeth Grant

BeansTalk staffer Patricia Cramer was the recipient of a generous sampling of full-size Elizabeth Grant products, which were featured at the pre-Oscar Silver Spoon Buffet. Just in time to replenish her supply, the company was at the recently held Showtime Emmy Suites.
Since she’s swears by the products, we're passing the information onto you (more at www.elizabethgrant.com)

Elizabeth Grant: The Backstory

The company was started 40 years ago in London, England. Grant’s skin was damaged during World War II, and she became embarrassed by the condition, but then heard about a substance used to treat war wounds and had some formulated for her and applied it to her skin. As a makeup artist, she worked closely with many women and one commented on how young-looking her skin appeared. Grant gave her a sample. Grant says “Ten days later she called me and asked me to get her some more. She said her skin was starting to feel normal again. When I saw her 6 weeks later, her skin was glowing. That was my “AH HA” moment. I decided to develop my own skin care treatment line that contained my secret formulation I called Torricelumn.”
