The acclaimed must-have beauty guide to beautiful skin by Daily Mail columnist and former Cosmo beauty director Ingeborg van Lotringen.

'Dull skin, oily breakouts, wrinkles - argh, when will it end?! You've tried 'miracle' product after 'miracle' product ... Ingeborg van Lotringen, top beauty-industry watchdog and journalist, provides the answers. She knows the good, the bad, and what the beauty industry doesn't necessarily tell you. For more than twenty years, she's been testing and researching every possible skincare product and treatment.

With Ingeborg, you'll become your own expert and soon pick products like a pro so that your skin will look brighter and healthier - for life.
