If you had a heart attack would you go to a personal trainer to treat your chest pain?

If you had cancer would you seek treatment from a journalist who reviews chemotherapy drugs?

No you wouldn't. You would go to a cardiologist or an oncologist - an expert with vast clinical experience and knowledge.

So why do we go to a beauty counter to deal with our skin problems? Or get skincare advice from beauty bloggers or facialists via Instagram or YouTube?Consultant Dermatologist Dr Natalia Spierings is here to shake things up!

Drawing on a decade of work helping thousands of people achieve great skin, she will empower you to navigate the confusing world of skincare so you never get fooled into buying hundreds of pounds of skincare products again.

Think of this book as your personal consultation with Dr Spierings and let her give you the information you need to start getting the best from your skincare - without hurting your wallet!
