Beauty Buzz Thanks to blogs and forums, women are increasingly sharing their experiences of skincare products online. Stepping things up a gear is the groundbreaking myskin.com. Developed by fifty doctors and specialists, it offers unbiased, personalised product recommendations from 4,500 brands. Users create a profile (with information such as skin type, favoured products etc) and the site recommends products and highlights other users’ faves. It’s an American site so links to online stores may not be financially savvy for Irish users, but it’s a great way to navigate the skincare maze. Currently you need an invite to sign up but Irish Tatler readers can use the exclusive invite code ‘irishtatler’.
