She developed her business sense by filling in for her ill father at business meetings from the age of fifteen. She moved to Australia, where she was very successful at selling skin care products, initially developed by a chemistin Poland. Spending a year in Europe, Rubinstein studied all aspects of skin care, including facial surgery, dermatology, and proper nutrition.
