elizabeth arden, skin care productsElizabeth Arden is more then just a name attached to skin care products. She is a women who made a name for herself in a time when men ruled all that was business. Born in 1884 within Canada she like most women grew up with an affection towards fragrance, beauty and skin care products. As stated by biography.com, Elizabeth Arden moved to New York at 24 years old and opened a self titled salon. As you can imagine her business idea caught on like a brush fire in the Southern California heat and before she knew it her products were going to a worldwide audience. She lived until 1966 and at the time of her death had over 100 Elizabeth Arden retail locations as stated in biography.com.

Today her name keeps her business savvy self alive. There are hardly any women who go through life not buying at least one of her products. I would have never thought that I would be writing about such a person right now but that is the kind of mark she left. She saw a need for high quality salon products and marketed them better then most.
