Mario Badescu

Almost fifty years ago, Mario Badescu embarked on a mission to introduce European-style facials to upper echelon New York. His classic, Old World techniques-mastered in his native Romania-defined the essential relationship between skin health and beauty. In his revolutionary Upper East Side salon, Mario cared for each guest with customized treatments and personalized advice for at-home care. His understanding of the varying needs of differing complexions shaped the beloved line of masks, cleansers, lotions and serums that bear his name today. Each tried-and-true elixir is formulated with botanicals and fresh fruit extracts and addresses a full range of concerns, from acne to aging.
