[edit] Early years
Ole Henriksen was born and raised in a tiny village called Nibe in the Danish countryside. After an idyllic but quite poor upbringing, Ole’s desire for adventure took him to Indonesia. It was during this period his skin became inflamed with cystic acne. Luckily he fell into the hands of a talented aesthetician named Lagita, at whose clinic in Jakarta he began getting treatments[4].
Lagita’s magic, performed with various botanicals, brought his complexion back to perfection and with that Ole’s interest in skin care was piqued. Eager to learn more, Ole moved to London to pursue degrees in skin care and cosmetic chemistry, before venturing over to the United States.
[edit] Trivia
- He has many famous friends including Ricky Martin. In an interview, Henriksen claimed that Martin was gay.
- It is a well known fact that he often uses his kitchen to experiment with all kinds of raw materials[5].
