On style, she rules

The Dictator rules: Get it together people: no skin cream is going to stop the ageing process, and there is bound to be some locally available combination of products suitable for your complexion. Pop quiz: are you drinking enough water? Do you always remove make-up grime before bed? Are you limiting sun exposure, caffeine intake and smoking? Have you been to a dermatologist about those breakouts? If you answered 'no' to any of the above, give yourself a slap. Anyway, the answer to your question is: no, you can't. However, you can order from the full catalogue of products at www.drbrandtskincare.com. Read up on this guy while you're there. He may be a clinical professor at the University of Miami, but it's not all good news: 'In practice for more than 20 years, Dr Brandt is the largest user of injectable collagen and botox in the world,' says the website. If he is injecting all sorts of things into people's faces, what does it say about the efficacy of his products? And don't be fooled by the 'Customized Product Rx' spiel: the company won't make a special formula for you, it will merely suggest a combination of existing products based on skin type.
