I bought this book as I have had serious eczema on my face for a month or so. I have suffered from this condition all my life, but have developed ways of dealing with and it was never my face. Being a woman of a certain age, most of my skincare contains age related active ingredients and those are not compatible with a serious flare up. Caroline Hirons knows skin. An established industry expert and aesthetician, she knows what works, what doesn't, what you need and what you absolutely do not. can see why this is referred to as the Skincare Bible. Super helpful in breaking things down, describing and recommending products, layering products, where to spend your hard earned money in your routine and how to tailor the perfect routine based on your needs 👏🏽

I already read the older version of this book, so decided to get this updated one to see if there was anything important to keep an eye out for. I'm not disappointed, it's got a few new pointers and the book is good value. If you want to get serious about skincare, this book is a must.

The last chapter also briefly explain the most common ingredients, and how to read an ingredients label to avoid falling in marketing slogans. Along with new photography and product recommendations, the updated version of the original book has new sections on different skin colours, conditions and industry updates. Caroline Hirons' Skincare is one of those rare books where the phrase "must-have" truly fits. If ever there was a book I thought everyone (and I honestly mean everyone) should read - it's this one. Essentially, if you have skin you need this book! I found particularly useful the mentions on how much product we should apply, as sometimes it's not too clear. In the name of transparency, this is the only book on skin I've read. However, it feels complete and doesn't leave me wanting more. In fact, this is my second time reading the book. Skin changes. It's good to refresh and think about different solutions for new problems.There is a whole chapter about SPF, which is also re-inforced in previous and following chapters, like "always use a dedicated 30 or 50+ SPF, and don't forget to re-apply during the day". Whether you are a skincare pro or overwhelmed by information, Skincare: The New Edit covers where to start, how to build a routine, ingredients to look for and things to avoid, whatever your age, skin concerns or budget.
