ABOUT OLEHENRIKSEN
OLEHENRIKSEN Skin care was born out of a young man’s persistence to heal his own skin. His story begins in a small Danish town, where at the age of 18, Ole was plagued with cystic acne, forcing his otherwise bright personality to turn inward. Finally, after a chance encounter with a renowned holistic skin care healer, he was inspired to embrace the transformative power of skin care. As the acne cleared, Ole’s bright and radiant personality returned. Transforming lives through skin wellness has become Ole’s life’s work, and it is his dedication to transformative skin care that has led him to become the world’s first celebrity facialist. “Ole Glow” became so desirable that in 1983 he decided to bottle his expertly crafted formulas and launch his namesake brand, OLEHENRIKSEN Skin care.
